WeldScan 5Multi-Channel Ultrasonic Pipeline Inspection and Analysis System Features:
Description:
WeldScan 5 is an ultrasonic pipeline inspection system manufactured by US Ultratek, Inc., a company based in the Silicon Valley. The engineers and technical staff at Ultratek have had over ten years of experience in automated UT inspections. The WeldScan 5 system is just one of Ultratek's advanced automated UT systems.
Optional equipment includes: -a 300 watt scanner controller -a scanner with a transducer carrier -a coupling pump -a portable computer or 19" rack mount computer with a high-speed analog to digital converter card, two ultrasonic pulser/receiver cards, and a 16- to 32-channel switching board The system automatically controls the coupling pump and the scanner. The system controls the scanner using user-defined parameters, such as speed and direction. While scanning, the system records the ultrasonic signals simultaneously from two transducers and displays colorful real-time B-scans and TOFD. It also checks the coupling condition throughout the scan session and displays the status. As more data is collected and displayed, the display scrolls up so that the most recent data is always in view. When the scanner reaches the user specified destination, the system automatically turns off the coupling pump and stops the scanner. After the scan is finished, the user can turn on the peak outline option, which draws the amplitude of the signal horizontally over the B-scan amplitude map. This gives the user a better prospective of the signal, making the analysis much easier. The user can mark a defect area of a channel by simply clicking the left mouse button; the selected area will be automatically saved. An integrated third-party drawing software can be used to draw a defected section of the weld for each channel and each defect type. The system then prints the drawn defected section along with the defected area as marked by the user. The WeldScan 5 system generates a complete report for each project. The report includes: -a cover page -a table of contents -a project information page -a colorful data sheet with B-scan and TOFD for each scan -repair lists with defect location and size -defect drawings The report can be printed out on any Windows-supported printer. The WeldScan 5 system can be configured as a 19" rack-mount system or as a portable system with a portable computer and a scanner controller. The portable system is a great choice for inspections in fields not accessible to vehicles. UltraScan 5 supports any language supported by Windows; the program windows, message boxes, and hard-copy reports can be displayed in any language. Specifications:
