CODA is the first and only compact high-power UT flaw detector capable of working with both EMAT and piezoelectric sensors using Innerspec’s patented pulser technology.
In EMAT mode, the instrument can pulse 1 to 3 full cycles at 800Vpp/8kW of peak power from 1MHz to 8MHz at a 1kHz pulse repetition rate. In piezoelectric mode, the instrument pulses a half-cycle square wave from 100V to 400V at a 2kHz pulse repetition rate. The instrument can work in pulse-echo or pitch-catch on both EMAT and piezoelectric modes.
CODA instruments use Innerspec Technologies Operating Platform (ITOP) with NDT-WEB application software. The instrument broadcasts a WiFi signal that permits remote control of the instrument from the removable phone/tablet (included) or from any connected wireless device using a standard web interface.
CODA instruments are available in three different configurations:
CODA - The base model provides all EMAT and piezoelectric functionality without an encoder.
CODA+ - It includes a one-axis encoder input for encoded Strip Charts and C-scans using a manual or an automated scanner.
CODA SM - (Stress Measurement). Specifically designed for stress measurement, it permits to sequentially pulse a two-channel EMAT sensor using Innerspec’s proprietary technique. It is delivered with custom stress software and different positioning fixtures depending on the application.
