Comprehensive ultrasonic quality inspection in the production process

PLATEPROOF enables high-performance, non-destructive testing of your plates via ultrasound. It combines modern ultrasonic electronics – to detect flaws in the test material – with a robust and maintenance-friendly system design.

Everything about the system is made to withstand the harsh operating conditions that are typical of rolling mills.

Advantages at a glance

• ◘ High system availability – through the use of proven and robust modules with powerful modern components
• ◘ Testing in a single test run – through individual adaptation to the specific plate dimensions, whether operated inline or offline
• ◘ High test volume – due to fast test cycles for each plate. The short cycle times are achieved through an optimized control sequence using the latest Siemens control technology
• ◘ Highly sensitive flaw detection with good reproducibility – thanks to modern ultrasonic electronics
• ◘ Automatic quality assessment of the plates, as well as logging by the evaluation software, according to official or individually defined test standards
• ◘ Re-evaluation of plates – based on stored test data

Phased-array probes have a wide electronic footprint and with a 1 mm resolution across the width of the beam, the required scanning coverage is achieved with significant time reduction. The ability to collect high resolution and increased scanning speeds, will improve probability of detection, enhance imaging and improve defect characterisation.

The phased-array configuration utilises a specially designed water box which produces a controlled and stable water-column that eliminates the need for a wedge, thus providing the benefits of improved signal consistency, accuracy and limited dead zone. This concept offers enhanced surface conformance and improved coupling.

PROBE DESIGN
Designed to be used in remote locations and harsh petro-chemical environments, Silverwing’s unique dry-coupled ultrasonic wheel probe eliminates the need for couplant or a constant water supply. The probe, a dual crystal 5 MHz ultrasonic probe with a unique rolling probe face is capable of measuring material thickness ranging from 2.5 mm up to 100 mm (0.1 in up to 4 in).

Scorpion2 is equipped with the best ultrasonic electronics and software the industry has to offer. With its advanced filtering, it can inspect materials 4.7–100 mm (3/16–4 in) quickly and accurately. The software enables unique ultrasonic gate processing, such as floating and tracking gates, ensuring correct wall thickness measurements under most circumstances.

The Swift B-scan acquisition software features several powerful data review, reporting, and printing tools. You can easily review saved data at any time through the active A-scan and B-scan displays. Simply moving the cursor on any part of a B-scan profile shows its corresponding A-scan trace.

Beside the graphic presentation of the B-Scan, we are storing up to 160 values of a B-Scan. (high resolution screen of the 1077 is 320 pixel wide)

There are 2 principle B-Scan graphic presentations: “without limits” and “limits set”.

Depth range:
– depth range is automatically set up from “zero” to “maximum” of readings
(automatic scaling of y-axis).
– Minimum can be set by the operator from “zero” to another value.
– Maximum can be set also by the operator from automatic scaling (“maximum” of readings”) to a different value.

Scanning rate:
– scanning rate is selectable: 1 Hz – 5 Hz – 10 Hz.
(scanning rate is depending on the drawing speed, which takes longer on a
coloured high-resolution screen than on a simple low-resolution black/white screen).
– standard PRF is still 100 Hz and will be used to store averaged scan values.

Trigger:
– manual start/stop for enabling/disabling scan modus.
– measurement reading stops if probe is not coupled and continues if probe is
coupled again.

Additional information presentation on Screen
– current reading.(at the bottom right) is of course implemented.
– y-scale (in mm or inch) is not planned at the moment (reduces space for B-Scan graphic!).
– x-scale (time based or in future in combination with encoder in mm) is not planned. (reduces space for B-Scan graphic!)

Using the standard method (TP-BE mode) for measurement of wall thickness and sound velocity the probe is placed on the uncoated surface of the material.

The ECHOMETER 1076 TC offers more: Varnish or plastics coatings up to 4 mm thickness can be blanked out so you can measure highly precise also through the coating. Then the measuring result is calculated by means of successive back wall echoes.

Depending on the probe the measuring range for wall thickness covers 0.5 to 400 mm. The measurement of sound velocity in sound conductive material copes with a measuring range from 100 to
