Effective ultrasonic phased

array testing with Phasor XS

The new ultrasonic flaw detector from

GE Inspection Technologies, branded

the Phasor XS, provides phased array

flaw-imaging capability and easy-to-use,

portable inspection. Designed to reduce

inspection times and improve detection

probability, the Phasor XS is suited to

applications including aerospace, oil and

gas, and automotive.

When used in phased array mode, the

instrument offers up to 64 individual

channels. This means the operator can

electronically multiplex a multi-element

probe for precise control over the angle of

inspection, the amplitude and the depth of

focus of each individual ultrasonic beam.

The inspection image is presented as

a full colour, sector B-scan on the unit’s

high resolution TFT screen, providing

comprehensive data in real time. All A-

scans can be selected for separate display

or for simultaneous display with the sector

image to allow instant and reliable sizing.

Sector images and A-scans can be stored

on a removable SD card for off-line data

analysis and management.

Suitable detector probes include dialog

probes, containing probe identification

data is be transmitted back to the

instrument. This increases inspection

reliability, minimises set-up errors and

assists in probe operation calculations.

In conventional mode, the Phasor XS can

use standard ultrasonic probes to carry out

conventional inspection, including corrosion

and thickness measurement.

TubeInspect, from Accurex, is a fully

automated 3D measuring system that can

measure a bent tube in a few seconds

without any fixtures or tools. The tube is

placed in a large light box where sixteen

permanently mounted high resolution

cameras accurately measure the tube’s

geometry.

Tubes with diameters ranging from 4-

200mm with bends between 1º and 180º

can be measured. Tube measurements

are compared to CAD data or to a master

tube. TubeInspect has the capability of

measuring tubes with connected bends

even when they are not separated by a

straight section.

Optional software modules allow the

measurement of flexible parts including

soft hoses, molded hoses and hoses with

fixtures or mounting attachments.

TubeInspect provides online corrections

for bending machines. When adjustments

to the process need to be undertaken,

corrections are directly transmitted to the

bending machine.

TubeInspect is suitable for all types of

industrial tube manufacturing from highly

flexible thin brake lines and aerospace

tubing, to large exhaust pipes for heavy

trucks as well as tubes designed to carry

hydraulic and cooling liquids or fuel.
