Inline holiday detection systems

ECT array crack detection system

Elmed, Germany, has recently launched a new Isotest act 35 inline holiday detection system. The company has delivered several testing units for pipe diameters up to 70" to well known pipe mills in South America, Europe and China. The unique customised ‘testing profile’ enables an easy setup of the required testing voltage according to the defined material and thickness tables – covering the complete range from three-layer PE coatings to FBE.  The Isotest act 35 inline holiday detection system

The Isotest act 35 equipment has many state-of-the-art features and new functions that make it suited to modern production lines with up-to-date standards. The optimal price performance ratio is in compliance with the current challenging economic requirements. The Isotest act is not only applicable to spiral extrusion by using a single flat electrode, but also to hose extrusion. In this area, the new sophisticated electrode mounting system can easily be adapted to different pipe diameters. The new look equipment is completed by a segmented type of electrode that works by optimum and flexible forming of the pipe diameter with substantial longevity. Elmed Dr Ing Mense GmbH – Germany

Raynar, South Korea, has developed ECT (eddy current test) and UT (ultrasonic test) inspection systems for factory automation. The company provides these systems for automobile parts, tube and steel makers. Raynar has recently developed the ECT array crack detection system to perform high-speed inspection on rolls. The company has already installed combined ECT and UT technology at a tube and pipe factory. The company has also developed a PEC (pulsed eddy current) system for thicker carbon steel pipe inspection. The nanometre level detection system was designed with ECT for copper and tungsten sheet measurement. Raynar Co Ltd – South Korea Fax : +82 42 931 8412
