About the ULTRAWALL™
 |
The
“ULTRAWALL™”
is a high-speed,
computerized
Ultrasonic Pipe
Wall Thickness Measurement
System that
takes
millions
of wall
thickness
readings per
minute on both
ferrous or
nonferrous tubes
in a matter
of seconds or
minutes
(depending on
tube diameter)
per joint. Tube
wall thicknesses
can be measured
and mapped in
multi-dimensional
presentations.
Values such as
minimum tube
wall, average
tube wall,
minimum
cross-section
area, etc. are
instantly
available for
review,
spreadsheet
entry,
archiving, and
printout.
100% Wall
Thickness
coverage and
measurement are
obtained, with
high degree of
accuracy and
productivity. |

Applications
The
ULTRAWALL™
can be used
as a
STAND-ALONE
Wall
Measurement
System or
installed IN
LINE with
existing
EMI
Systems to
enhance the
over-all
performance
and
capability
to comply
with latest
standards.
-
Easily
Installs
between pipe
racks
and can
operate in
conjunction
with
existing EMI
plant
systems.
-
Utilizing
PC-Based
Ultrasonics
Incorporating
state-of-the-art
pulsar-receiver
circuitry:
Rapid
Inspection
of pipe is
performed
allowing the
system to be
incorporated
into an
existing EMI
operation.
Easy to
operate
and does not
require a
high degree
of UT
training/certification.
Affordable
cost,
considerably
less than
conventional
full-body
ultrasonic
systems.
-
Multiple
Wall Mapping
Options
To meet
ever-changing
requirements
by end-users
and
third-party
monitoring
companies
for data
presentation,
several
different
software
programs
included
with the
ULTRAWALL™
System.
The data
presentation
can also be
custom-specified
by the
inspection
company and
changed in
the future
as needed.

Ultrasonic Wall
Inspection
sends a burst of
sound energy
into the tube
wall and
captures the
return echo.
Knowing the
exact time the
pulse entered
the pipe and the
actual speed
that sound
travels in the
material, the
time between
pulse and echo
can be
accurately
converted into
material
THICKNESS. This
data is
presented in
both digital and
analog formats
for precise
mapping of the
tube wall. An
accurate digital
thickness value
is
obtained.
This is NOT
possible with
Radioactive
Gamma or
Magnetic Wall
Systems! |
