Sitescan D Series Application

Flaw Sizing (DGS/AVG, AWS, API) Optional Optional advanced flaw sizing techniques include DAC, AVG, API 5UE and AWS standards; ensuring accurate and rapid sizing and reporting or indications.
DAC Up to ic points can be used to construct e digital DAC curve, with selectable JIS/ASME and EN 1714 curves. Selected DAC curve acts as monitor gate for alarm outputs. Gate 1 can be used to measure detect height as either % DAC, DAC÷dB or %Full Screen Height.	AVG AVG/DOS software can be contigured tor any transducer and gives accurate sizing of flaws with direct readout of Equivalent netlector Size. The visible ERS curve can be adjusted to display the desired acceptance level and used to trigger the alarm and measurement reading.
Advanced Thickness Logging Thickness measurement is a major application of the Sitescan D series and good data logging tools are essential to productivity. As standard, Sitescan has the capability to store readings in a 2 or 3 dimensional grid format, or download test sequence files from asset management software. In addition to the basic thickness reading, the user can store the A-Scan and user defined notes, or with the B-Scan option, a full B-Scan image. Reviewing readings is easy using the scroll wheel and the USB connection enables fast transfer of data.	B-Scan The optional B-scan display function shows the cross section of the material based on its wall thickness. The B-scan has selected update rates from 3 to 10 times per second, and can be stored with the thickness readings and transferred to the PC via SDMS.
Active Peak The Active Peak function shows the echo dynamic envelope along with the live A-Scan. This is particularly useful for defect classification in applications such as weld inspections. The peak signal can also be ‘held” as a reference to show the natural reflectors of a part, helping to distinguish defect indications.	Customisable Menu The user can configure the menu to only show those functions required, this enables the Sitescan to adapt to the application and level of user. For example, when thickness checking the DAC and AVG functions can be disabled.

The Alphagage is an A-Scan verification corrosion gauge for use on difficult to measure corroded materials, which often give rise to spurious or erroneous readings when using conventional digital read out thickness meters.

Typical applications are offshore platforms, petro-chemical pipes and vessels, ship surveys and thick attenuative materials such as plastics, GRP and cast iron etc.

Designed with harsh environments in mind, the rugged case is sealed to IP 67 inhibiting moisture ingress from wet weather and high humidity conditions.

The Sonagage II is a low-cost Ultrasonic Thickness Gage combining ease of use with advanced features and capabilities. Resolution is 0.01mm (0.001”), allowing accurate measurement of thin sections, and the gage retains last reading and current calibration after switch—off. There is a coupling indicator on the LCD and a low battery warning is also incorporated.

For difficult applications, an externally—accessible gain adjustment control is a valuable feature. An “inch/mm” button allows instant switching between English/Metric measurement.

Calibration is very easy. The transducer is placed on the built—in zero block, and the ‘CAL key is pressed. The "up" and "down" keys adjust the instrument to the zero—block thickness of 6.35mm (0.250”). The same procedure can be used for any other appropriate sample of known thickness. The Sonagage II is also compatible with many other manufacturers’ transducers.

The STEELGAGE is a low-cost ultrasonic thickness gage which is pre-calibrated for measurement on carbon steels, Microprocessor control combines ease-of-use with stable and accurate measurements. The STEELGAGE retains the last reading after switch-off. A coupling indicator arid low battery warning are shown on the liquid crystal display. The transducer is placed on the zero block with a dab of suitable couplant. The zero key is then pressed and "————" display indicates the instrument is ready for use. Sonatest provide a transducer repair/replacement service minimising the cost of use.

THE MAX: ACCURACY WITH SIMPLICITY

The MAX can measure clamp load, or resulting fastener elongation, very accurately in fasteners of virtually any material from 1 inch to over 20 feet in length.

The measurement is achieved by determining the change in the transit time, of an ultrasonic shock wave along the length of the fastener as the fastener is tightened by any method.

The on-board microcomputer automatically interprets this time measurement to display load, tensile stress, or elongation results in the fastener.

Through use of high speed digital signal processing and automated diagnostics, the MAX minimizes the requirement for extensive operator training.

With built in data recordation, reporting through RS232 and analog interface, the MAX offers easy-to-use, reliable solutions for difficult bolting problems.

THE ULTRASONIC INSPECTION

CYCLOPS performs CONVENTIONAL ultrasonic spot weld inspection, in automatic mode and with dry contact probes.

The ultrasonic evaluation of spot welds is determined by the measurement of the distance between back-wall echoes, the differences of back-wall echoes attenuation rates and the presence and relative amplitudes of intermediate echoes.

The transducer has been designed and manufactured specifically for the CYCLOPS application to include an interchangeable spherical rubber delay for extra flexibility and added durability.

This unique innovation in transducer delay line technology offers a range of inspections with a single transducer. Differing material thickness of welded parts and weld diameters can be accommodated. This system is less likely to be affected by weld plane inclinations relative to the transducer position. Transducers utilise dry coupling (no oil or grease) and can be used for around 20,000 inspections in normal operating conditions.

CYCLOPS utilises artificial vision technology to identify the spot weld and direct the ultrasonic transducer to the centre of the weld with high precision.

The ultrasonic transducer is fixed to the manipulator's “wrist” and moves through both x and y direction planes. CYCLOPS will sweep through all of the possible angles through the two planes until a suitable signal is received that will provide a precise and proper evaluation of the weld. CYCLOPS can be programmed to inspect a sequence of welds. A real-time evaluation of the weld position and shape is simultaneously performed.
