Ultrasonic NDT inspection device for pipes
Corrosion WheelProbe
Sonatest Ltd
is achievable, even on rough corroded surfaces, thanks to the conformable water filled tyre. Fine water misting is all that is required for coupling,
no mechanical pumping of water is necessary. Encoded 50mm wide strip scan, B or C Scan, amplitude of Time of Flight (depth) - dependant on the host instrument or reporting software. The inspection width of 50mm provides greater detection
capability.
The Corrosion WheelProbe has been designed specifically with Circumferential Scanning in mind. The minimum diameter that can be accommodated is 4 inches/10 cms. Adjusting the inspection angle of the Corrosion WheelProbe is very quick and can simply be done in situ using the lever and guide on the side of the WheelProbe, tightening the thumb wheel to lock the instrument at the desired angle. Scanning along the length of a pipe or cylinder is also easily performed, again the minimum diameter for this application is 4 inches/10
cms. An enhancement to the construction of the Corrosion WheelProbe is the front roller accessory which has been developed specifically for Longitudinal scanning. On pipe diameters of less than 24 inches/60 cm, this accessory improves stability by supporting the WheelProbe tyre, allowing you to obtain the best results from the WheelProbe over a greater range of pipe diameters.
Suitable for use with any Portable Phased Array System.
