NDT: Taking Advanced Inspections to the Next Level

Introducing VersaTrax NDT inspection crawlers by Eddyfi Technologies: a game-changer for critical component inspections in tough spaces, boosting safety for inspectors. With a flexible modular design, VersaTrax NDT accommodates various non-destructive testing techniques like ultrasonic testing (UT), eddy current testing (ECT), alternating current field measurement (ACFM®), and general visual inspection. These tether-based robotic systems offer frequent in-service asset integrity assessments, real-time condition insights, and access to confined or hazardous areas for data collection. They eliminate the need for scaffolding, rope access, confined space entry, and asset downtime. VersaTrax NDT is a must-have for advanced non-destructive testing inspections in once-inaccessible spots.

Remote Wall Thickness Measurements with Ultrasonic Testing

Harnessing the power of VersaTrax to extend ultrasonic testing technology reach, Eddyfi Technologies’ R-Scan package allows for the collection of UT wall thickness measurements up to a distance of 30m (100ft). UT thickness measurements are collected every 1mm (0.04in) and displayed to the operator in real-time as a B-scan, A-scan trace, and thickness measurements. Compared to traditional spot readings, the R-Scan delivers a much higher Probability of Detection (PoD) with a reliable, recorded, and auditable data set and all from a safe location. Designed to be used in remote locations and harsh petrochemical environments, the R-Scan utilizes a unique dry-coupled ultrasonic (UT) wheel probe, eliminating the need for couplant or constant water supply, making it the ideal partner for the VersaTrax NDT. The probe, a dual crystal 5MHz ultrasonic transducer with a unique rolling probe face, can measure material thickness ranging from 2.5mm up to 100mm (0.1in up to 4in). The R-Scan scanning head is fitted with an encoder to provide accurate positioning information during an inspection. Wheels assist when scanning vertically or if inverted by minimizing the possibility of encoder slippage. See how this technology combination was employed for advanced pipeline inspection here.

Made for the field, the Mantis™ is one of the most robust and reliable industrial ultrasonic instruments ever produced by Eddyfi Technologies, thanks to careful consideration of the highly durable materials chosen. Mantis not only offers conventional UT but more advanced PAUT, TOFD and TFM all through its streamlined user interface, Capture™. With three different models, Mantis addresses both general and advanced applications without compromising productivity.
