In-LIne eRW Tube InspecTIon sysTem

nondestructive phased Array solution The new in-line ERW tube inspection system using advanced phased array technology to inspect weld seams and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of electrical resistance welded (ERW) tubes. Phased array technology provides broad sector coverage of the HAZ with constant amplitude even when there is significant weld seam movement relative to the probes. • Flaw detection, weld profiling, and automatic weld tracking using phased array technology. • Diameter range from 60 mm (2.375 in.) to 245 mm (9.625 in.). • Wall thickness range from 2 mm (0.079 in.) to 16 mm (0.630 in.). • Automatic calibration sequence using a calibration bench. • Automatic calibration check at production line speed. • Data synchronization with the “flying saw” on the production line. • Automatic detection of scarfing window and butt weld between coils. • Full system diagnostics using HMI and QuickView.
