Free testing guide app
Olympus NDT has introduced the Industrial Tech Guide App for
Android smartphones.
Available for download on Google Play, the free mobile
application contains two knowledge-based sections designed
for technicians performing
ultrasonic flaw detection
and X-ray fluorescence
(XRF) inspections.
The easy-to-use Tech
Guide App is a helpful
tool
for
inspectors
by providing fast and
accurate
calculations
for their applications. In
addition, the application
contains
descriptions
of all Olympus industrial
instruments with quick
links for detailed product
information or to obtain a
request for quotation.
For the non-destructive
testing (NDT) inspector, the
Ultrasonic Tech Guide lists
the acoustic properties
(longitudinal wave velocity,
shear wave velocity and
acoustic impedance) of many common materials. It also includes
a calculator for common beam parameters (wavelength, nearfield
length and beam diameter) used in test setup and interpretation.
For the individual working with an array of metal alloys, the
XRF Tech Guide includes an alloy materials guide that provides
a quick and easy look-up of the chemistry specifications for
common alloy grades using trade names or alloy families.
With these specifications in hand, many individuals such as
XRF and PMI inspectors, scrap sorters, material handlers, NDT
contractors and QA/QC managers can become more productive
in the field.
The Olympus NDT Industrial Tech Guide App is also available for
the iPhone, via the iTunes App Store.
Olympus NDT manufactures non-destructive testing instruments
that are used in industrial and research applications ranging from
aerospace, power generation, petrochemical, civil infrastructure
and automotive to consumer products.
Testing technologies include ultrasound, ultrasound phased
array, eddy current, eddy current array and X-ray fluorescence.
The company’s product portfolio includes flaw detectors,
thickness gauges, in-line systems, automated systems, industrial
scanners, pulser-receivers, probes, transducers and various
accessories.
