ELECTRONIC & Engineering Co Ltd
(EECI), India, specialises in providing
innovative and cost effective ultrasonic
test systems for tubes and pipes.
EECI has more than three decades of
experience in delivering UT systems for
the inspection of tubes and pipes from a
quarter of an inch to 100 inches diameter.
UT Systems designed and manu-
factured by EECI have: state of the
art digital ultrasonic test electronics;
automation to achieve higher testing
speed, minimise manpower requirement
and improve quality of testing; turnkey
single point responsibility, unmatched after
sales service and application support; and
SPECIALIST finishing equipment manu-
facturer Guyson International has recently
upgraded its entire range of Kerry branded
ultrasonic KS cleaning tanks.
All models have been improved with an
extended feature set and vastly upgraded
operational performance that delivers
superior cleaning results in faster start up
times.
This uprated range of high quality
ultrasonic cleaning tanks takes advantage of
Guyson’s ongoing investment in its in-house
engineering capability with new state of the
art 3D CAD and Product Data Management
(PDM) systems and the complete product
range has been fully re-engineered and
redrawn incorporating all the latest design
best practice.
There are six standard tank sizes in
the range with the smallest tank, being the
KS300, having a tank capacity of 17.5 litres
and extending all the way up to the KS4000
which has a very substantial 247.5 litre
capacity. Larger sizes are available to special
order. All are robustly constructed using
AISI 316L polished stainless steel tanks for
durability, whilst Kerry Pulsatron ultrasonic
generators ensure powerful parts cleaning
and long equipment life.
The newly designed tank range has a
varied feature set which aims to deliver very
real operational benefits for purchasers with
features such as substantially increased
number of heater pads to speedily raise
the fluid temperature to operational levels,
and clearly marked fluid max and min levels
on the internal tank wall to enable easy
meet the inspection code requirement of
third-party inspectors.
EECI recently installed two systems
to a leading spiral pipe manufacturer
located in North America. The first system
was installed for 100% inspection of coils
(width 2,100mm) whereas the second
system was installed for weld inspection
having configurable test configuration of
4I + 2X + HAZ + ON BEAD + TANDEM
+ PIPE END testing along with advanced
laser seam tracking module. This fully
automated system has PC-based data
logging and test reports generation as per
the format required by the customers and
international inspection agencies.
filling guidelines. Optional low water level
sensor housing and wiring is included in
the tank build so retrospective take up of
that function can be easily undertaken for
the customer without them having to incur
excessive costs and rework to the system.
Service friendly features include a
removable rear panel to allow service
access to rear tank heater mats and now
incorporated into the new overall design
the generator and processor boards and all
major controlling electronics are housed in a
lockable cabinet mounted to the side of the
tank which allows for much easier access

The scope of supply includes project
engineering, supervision of erection and
commissioning and training of operating
personnel.
The EECI product range includes
portable ultrasonic flaw detectors and
thickness gauges along with complete
range of probes, reference blocks and
related accessories, magnetic particle
equipment, eddy current test system
incorporating Institute Dr Foerster’s test
electronics and sub assemblies.

for tuning and servicing. This also removes
them from any proximity to the floor where
they may have been vulnerable to damp
and water ingress.
Guyson’s Kerry KS systems have been
designed to achieve optimum cleaning
results using aqueous solutions. Ultrasonic
transducers bonded to the tank base provide
high performance and reliability together
with uniform distribution of the ultrasonic
energy. The frequency is factory tuned to
the individual tank/transducer combination
and then optimised under normal usage
conditions with frequency sweep and fully
automatic tuning.
