OUR TECHNOLOGY
- Built on the award winning HotSense™ ultrasonic platform powered by the proprietary Ionix HPZ piezo-ceramic, and offering increased heat resilience.
- -55 to +350 °C [-67 to +662 °F] continuous use temperature range.
- No cooling required. Increase your productivity by reducing duty cycling.
- High sensitivity with integrated wedges across the temperature range.
- Compatible with commercial scanners and crawlers.
ADVANTAGES
- Stable signal for reliability and repeatability – no duty cycling means no drift from thermal gradients in the wedges.
- Short approach to beam exit to get closer to weld caps.
- Enhanced wear resistance for the most extreme environments and applications.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
- Make weld inspections on hot assets, on-stream, without the need to shutdown or isolate.
- Make effective weld root corrosion assessments rapidly at high-temperature.
- Detect and size cracks or defects in welds or parent material on-stream.
- Screen for HTHA in-service.
- TOFD carries the highest POD for NDT methods.
