Rotating ultrasonic inspection system
WITH increasing dependence on high
quality products and rapid changes in
manufacturing technologies, a high
demand for products with sustained
quality is currently desired. Non-
destructive testing is emerging as the
best solution for such needs, with no
damage done to the products or the
intrinsic qualities of the material used.
Ultrasonic NDT provides one of the
best ways to test tubes/rods/pipes for
internal flaws.
RoUltra is a high speed, sophisticated
and reliable rotating transducer
arrangement system capable of
detecting internal flaws in the material
as well as other parameters like
thickness measurement, and length
of tube/rod with repeatable results.
It comes with a configurable number
of channels, with a maximum of 24 if
required.
The transducers can rotate to a
maximum speed of 800rpm. The
advanced transducer sensors ensure
no defect goes undetected, either on
the internal diameter or outer diameter,
or the material in between. The system
also comes with a transport sub-
system, which ensures automatic and
in-line operation on the industry floor.
In automatic mode, one tube/rod is
selected and sent in butted or un-
butted condition into the RoUltra, where
the flaws are detected and stored for
further report generation. The flaws
are paint marked at flaw locations and
segregated based on whether they
are accepted or rejected. The system
needs to be initially calibrated and can
be calibrated to many international
standards.
RoUltra is a solution for in-line testing
of tubes/rods, with a speed of testing of
about 30-40m/min, which is about 30
times more than conventional rotating
tube systems. RoUltra Soft is the
accompanying software, which provides
a conventional A-scan of the testing
as well as a chart-type scan, which
indicates the defects with respect to the
length of the tube/rod. The software also
communicates with the accompanying
control system to form a fully integrated
and automated testing system. An
inclusion measurement for rods can also
be done for the tube/rod with minimal
changes to the RoUltra system.
RoUltra provides a thorough
inspection of the tube and pipes/rod
with reliable and repeatable results.
The system can be easily calibrated for
well-established standards, which are
accepted all over the world.
