Noncontact ultrasonic scanner-flaw detector А2075 SoNet is applicable for automatic search of flaws in the metal pipe’s walls of 720 ÷ 1420 mm in diameter and with thickness starting from 6mm.

The inspection is conducted by an inline automatic moving of the inspecting part of a flaw detector along generatrix on the external surface of a pipe. Thanks to the effect of guided-wave ultrasound propagation in a pipe’s wall, flaw detection on its full-circle is provided. An image of a pipe’s weep is made right during the scanning that helps to respond promptly to flaws coming up, to plot the coordinates, to estimate their type and shape using standard tools of nondestructive testing.

Features

• Operating principle of the scanner- flaw detector is a wave guided pulse echo inspection technique Excitation (sending) and receiving of ultrasonic waves in a pipe’s body is made without a contact (without using a couplant) with a help of electro-magnetic acoustic (EMA) transducers.
• Detection of a stress-corrosion and corrosion flaws in the pipe’s body. Detection of flaws in flats (sheet products) with indication of flaw’s quantity, relative dimensions and locations (coordinates).
• Wi-Fi connection between the PC and the scanner-flaw detector А2075 SoNet provides a great mobility and the possibility for the operator to conduct testing remotely.
• An image of a pipe’s weep is made right during the scanning, that helps to respond promptly to flaws coming up and helps to decide if an additional inspection with the other NDT methods is necessary.
• Continuing documentation of the results as a scanning image of the pipe.
• Efficient review of the collected scan images in the screen of the Notebook.
• Post-processing of the scan images along with recording of the location, orientation and the type of the flaws.
• Time required to set up the instrument and start inspection is just 3 minutes.
• The possibility to upload the data from intratubal inspection and attach it to the main report.
• Module design of the instrument makes it possible to to promptly replace a broken module on-the-site by only one user of the instrument.
• Portability – the instrument can be carried by 2 people and can be operated by 1 user.

Capabilities

• Efficiency – up to 7 meters per minute;
• Sensitivity – detecting surface longitudinal splits and corrosion from 1mm in depth;
• А2075 SoNet is able to work on the pipe that has been earlier shelled from the old isolation. The scanner ensures 100% recurrence of the data.
• The scanner-flaw detector provides a higher percentage of detectability of stress-corrosion flaw and delaminations comparing the result of a intratubal flaw-detector.
• Reliability – operating temperature range from -30° to 50°С;
