The
Situation
The component safety in chemical plants, petro-chemical plants, fossil and nuclear power
plants, aviation, etc. is indispensable. Flaws and material defects such as cracking, weld
flaws, corrosion and service- induced stresses are only a few examples leading to
component failure, often prior to their designed life span. State-of-the-art methods and
technologies are required, especially to protect public health, for economic inspection
and testing solutions.
Our
Solution
EMAT
technology, combined with Phased Array techniques (developed by
IZFP), uses horizontally polarized shear waves (SH-wave) to improve the inspectability of
stainless steel welds, dissimilar metal welds, buttered welds, cladding, etc. These, and
other components can now be completely inspected regardless of access considerations due
to the virtual transparency of the material to horizontally polarized shear
waves.
Our Systems
Our
EMAT systems, including
Phased Array EMAT systems
are designed for a variety of applications, consisting of
two portable components, front end unit and base unit. Control functions, data acquisition
and data analysis are performed through the integrated PC. Standard and customized EMAT search units are designed and manufactured by IZFP.
Advantages
- Electronic control of the sound beam angle and
shape
-
Generation of horizontally polarized shear wave mode
(SH-wave)
-
Generation of vertically polarized shear wave mode
(standard shear wave) and Rayleigh wave mode
-
No acoustic coupling medium required
