The software also includes conventional UT sizing curves (DAC/TCG, ASME, JIS and DGS), and AWS and API code wizards. Olympus has also introduced new WPS phased array weld inspection probes, consisting of the A10, A11, and A12 series. Their ergonomically designed probe housings and wedges have a small footprint to allow inspections close to the weld crown. The DGS phased array probe fully meets DGS requirements, and performs an inspection sweep from 45º to 70º using one integrated probe/ wedge design. The AWS phased array probe creates a nominal 60° shear wave in steel and covers the inspection angles of 45º, 60º and 70° as required by AWS regulations.

– the WPS series. The software and new probes have been developed for weld inspectors who wish to integrate phased array technology in their NDT inspections. The new OmniScan 2.1 software has a simplified phased array interface and includes an intuitive RayTracing feature that provides a clear visual display of the phased array beams in the weld area, and a weld overlay feature to simplify data interpretation.

Olympus NDT, USA, provides a range of non-destructive testing solutions featuring ultrasonic testing, eddy current, and related non-destructive testing technologies. The company has introduced a new manual weld inspection solution that includes conventional ultrasound and phased array ultrasound. This integrated weld inspection solution includes new software for the OmniScan flaw detector and a new line of phased array probes

Copper tube and capillaries Feinrohren, Italy, is a copper tube and capillary tube manufacturer. The company was founded in 1959, when Mr Faustino Pasotti established a small department for the production of copper capillaries for refrigerators.

Feinrohren manufactures copper tube and capillary tube S S

In 1990, Feinrohren established an ultra modern production plant in the industrial site of Passirano, with the aim of satisfying the demand of copper industrial tube applications requiring outside diameters over 5mm, using the best technologies in copper tube production, and assisted by decades of matured experience in the copper capillary sector. In 1996, coated copper tube was added to the company’s production programme, through the acquisition of Zetaesse, an expert in plastic coated copper tube production, located in Vedelago (Treviso). By 2004, Feinrohren’s range incorporated over 14,000 different products, distributed in more than 60 countries. The company has achieved many quality certifications through constant development and growth. Feinrohren’s copper capillaries and tubes are used in applications in fields including home and industrial refrigeration and air-conditioning, heat exchangers, production of thermostats for heat and cold, production of thermocouples, production of boilers, armoured resistances, fittings for compressors, and high quality sanitary tube.
