Ultrasonic rotating heads
CONTRÔLE Mesure Systèmes designs,
develops and manufactures a complete
NDT range of products in eddy current
and ultrasonic testing methods, which
comprise high performance instruments
and systems, probes and transducers,
accessories, and complete turnkey
machines with its mechanics associated.
Through its products and its remote
assistance, Contrôle Mesure Systèmes
provides quality and productivity
solutions for industrial applications all
over the world.
For high quality tubes from diameter
6 to 250mm, welded or not, in stainless
steel, titanium, zirconium, but also in
carbon steel, CMS proposes a full range
of ultrasonic rotating heads named
RotoUTscan. Several UT transducers
(up to 12) with different angles in
accordance with the NDT normatives,
are in motion arround the tube with high
speed (up to 6,000 RPM), for longitudinal
defect detection; transversal defect
detection and thickness measurement
as well as OD – ID and ovalisation.
RotoUTscan is driven by a fast
electronic UTR which is a high accuracy
ultrasonic inspection system, for in
line high speed flaw detection and
dimensional measurements of ID/OD/
thickness. Employing PCI architecture,
instrument operation is made fast and
easy via Windows-based inspection
screens and intuitive dialogue boxes for
ultrasonic setup.
RotoUTscan can be combined with
other CMS equipment like EC rotating
heads (RotoETscan) or magnetising
units with coil installed together in a
strong control bench including centring
devices.

Stainless
clamp
IN a reaction to the market’s growing need
for varying types of pipe clamps for ever
changing welding applications, Prestige
Industrial Pipework Equipment Ltd has re-
launched the E-Z Fit Red range.
Offering an alternative to the already
established and popular E-Z Fit Gold,
the new E-Z Fit Red boasts the widest
single clamp range among the fixed leg
style clamps, enabling the E-Z Fit Red
to cover the range from 1" to 12", in just
three clamps.
As with all the other clamps in PIPE’s
range, the E-Z Fit Red can be used
on exotic materials such as stainless
steel and duplex by fitting the optional
stainless steel shoes and screws,
making all contact points between clamp
and pipe stainless steel, eliminating the
possibility of cross contamination.
The lightweight yet rugged design of
the clamp makes it suitable for on-site
applications as well as workshop fit-ups.
