VOLTA FST-B is a one-channel configuration designed for handheld operation. Originally developed by Innerspec in 1997, this system represents the 3rd generation of a storied system that has been used in thousands of boilers worldwide. The new FST-B is now battery-operated and features our designed ergonomic sensor that enables toolless switching between permanent magnet and pulsed electromagnet modes. The new FST-B platform uses the latest-generation electronics and Innerspec Technologies Operating Platform, along with NDT-WEB software.
Features
- Non-contract EMAT technique.
- Custom instrumentation and sensors for boiler tube inspection.
- Permits 100% inspection of boilers instead of spot checking at up to 15cm/s of scanning speed.
- Ultrasonic EMAT technique provides accurate thickness readings with minimum surface preparation.
- Only system capable of measuring remaining wall thickness on heavily corroded tubes.
- Capable of detecting Hydrogen Corrosion Cracking (HCC), pitting, and caustic gouging.
- Works on carbon steel and cladded tubes.
- Sensor with integrated encoder and light indicators for fast visual alert to the operator.
- Exclusive boiler mapping software application permits easy visualization of boiler walls with results of inspection for fast analysis and interpretation.
- Proven technology with hundreds of boilers and thousands of kilometers of inspected tube worldwide.
