Silverwing RMS PA inspection solution leads the way for a 100% corrosion mapping coverage of critical assets. The solution can inspect 10 times faster at a higher resolution compared to conventional UT.

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.

THE SYSTEM
Combining the R-Scan handheld, dry-coupled scanner with the Swift ultrasonic data acquisition instrument delivers a simple to use, battery operated, portable ultrasonic inspection system ideal for application ranging from 50 mm (2 in) up to flat plate. The software is packed with unique and intuitive features all design to improve productivity and user experience.

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).

The Swift and Scorpion2 remote-access tank shell ultrasonic inspection solution improves efficiency and data when inspecting such structures as storage tanks, vessels, and offshore installations.

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.
