Full-Body and ERW Tube Inspection System Nondestructive Phased Array Solution

FOX-IQ XRF Tube and Rod Alloy Analysis System The FOX-IQ is an easy-to-integrate and easy-to- use system that performs automated online QC analysis for 100% high-volume nondestructive process control.

This hybrid inspection solution uses phased array tech- nology to control the full volume, the weld seam, and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of ERW tubes and pipes, and is fully compliant with the latest API requirements for P110 and Q125 grades. • A “hybrid” solution providing combined weld-seam and full- body inspection. • Untested lengths as short as 5 mm. • Multiple oblique angles. • Special algorithms for defect sizing. • Wide sector coverage of the weld seam and HAZ with constant amplitude (eliminates the need for weld tracking). • Automatic radial positioning of the probe. • Multiple inspection-mode capability using the same PA probe (45°, 60°, 70°, 45 tandem, etc.). • Optimized detection of ID, mid-wall, and OD defects. • Automatic weld location.

• Leaves no marks on the material after testing. • Completely automated XRF alloy analysis with alerts and data logging. • Compact design fits into most existing operations. • Durable, proven, and reliable.
