TEMATE SI-BW is designed for inspection of thin butt welds less than 12mm (<0.47”). TEMATE SI-BW can be customized to meet your unique inspection needs.
Features
Non-contact EMAT technique for ultrasonic testing of welds.
Guided waves fill up the volume of the material and provide through thickness inspection in one pass.
Detects and discriminates “planar”defects such as lack of fusion, lack of penetration, concavity or mismatch, and “point” detects such as holes and porosity.
Capable of detecting porosity as small as 0.1mm in a 3mm weld.
Less sensitive to probe positioning, no “rastering” motion or “phased array” of sensors necessary.
Self-calibrated sensor.No need for teaching period or regular calibrations.
Permits inspection at up to 1m/s in completely automated environments.
Exclusive flexible sensor technology that conforms to the surface and undulations of the part.
Inspects any type of weld(Laser, Electron Beam, TIG, MIG, ERW, Flash-Butt, Forged, etc.).
Proven technique with hundreds of systems installed.
