EMAT & DCUT Applications
Included with the equipment:
  • THICKNESS & FLAW. Thickness measurement and flaw detection with 0⁰ EMAT sensors (shear and longitudinal) for spot and encoded measurements.
Optional Software Applications:
  • WELD INSPECTION. Using guided waves (thin materials) and bulk waves (SV and SH).
  • RAYLEIGH WAVES. Surface inspections.
  • PIPES & TUBES
    • MRUT for flaw detection with medium-range ultrasonic guided waves.
    • MRUT SIZING. To provide remaining wall measurements on pipelines using MRUT axial and circumferential scanning.
    • LRUT LITE for flaw detection with long-range ultrasonic guided waves using an axisymmetric magnetostrictive ribbon in Pulse-Echo mode.
    • LRUT FOCUS for circumferential focusing LRUT with a separate receiver scanner.
  • PLATES, TANKS & RAIL
    • MRUT for flaw detection with Medium Range guided waves.
    • STRESS RR WHEELS Stress measurement for railroad wheels.
  • NON-LINEAR UT for damage characterization in early stages.
  • EXPERT for researchers and advanced practitioners permits creating custom configurations with standard and advanced software tools and filters (FFT, IFFT, TCG, SAFT, Spectrograms, Dispersion Curves, Cancellation, Normalization, and Suppression).
