Inspect: Bridges and buildings and other structures Amusement park rides Mining and earth moving equipment Cranes and other lifting equipment Ships, tanks, military hardware Pipelines, pressure vessels and oil field equipment ,Signal Light Masts, etc.
Detects cracks under thick coatings/Simple to use
Indicates crack severity (depth)/Accurately find the crack tip
No need to remove paint and other coatings./No need to remove oil and grease
Minimize the use of dye penetrant and magnetic particle inspection (use only to prove-up test results
More Features: Minimal training required Fast – scan a foot of weld in 10 seconds! Less expensive than eddy current and ACFM instruments Light weight – 0.6 lb. (300gr.) No consumables No mess 14 hour battery operation Water resistant case (IP-65) SET-UP: Place a plastic shim of similar thickness to your coating on the test block. Place the probe over a defect free area and press the “balance” button Rotate probe so that finger grip is parallel to the notch Scan the probe over the appropriate notch in the test block and adjust the sensitivity buttons as required to achieve the required sensitivity. OPERATION: plate and pipe: Scan the area of interest in a Zigzag pattern, repeat at 90 degrees. welds: HAZ Place the probe over the Heat Affected Zone immediately adjacent to the weld and scan the length of the weld. Move the probe 1/8” (3mm) and scan the length of the weld, repeat this process until ½” (12.5mm) is covered on either side of the weld. Note: the probe finger grip should be parallel with the weld. WELD CROWN Scan the weld crown in a Zigzag pattern. On bare, rough welds, it is helpful to place a plastic sheet or tape over the weld. THEORY OF OPERATION: The probe contains a transmitter and receiver. The transmitter creates a stable AC magnetic field in the test material that is disrupted by a crack. The receiver in the probe is a proprietary semi-conductor magneto-sensitive device that detects and measures the resultant magnetic flux leakage that indicates the presence and severity of a crack.
