Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges: Benefits of Sonic Readings
As a leading provider of non-destructive and ultrasonic inspection technologies, Russell Technologies India has been helping leaders for over 40 years. We specialize in solutions that allow for efficient, reliable inspections with minimal disruption to plant operations. These technologies help our clients evaluate their pressure components with ease, potentially saving money in failure and repair costs and ensuring the longevity of their plant. If you’re looking to extend the lifetime of your process equipment, and take proactive measures to prevent costly failures, here are a few facts about ultrasonic inspection.
Wide range of Applications
Ultrasonic products can be used to survey pipes of different sizes, lengths, thickness and purpose. Russell Technologies India specializes in ultrasonic inspection equipment for the following applications:
• Welds for welding flaws
• Structural steel for fatigue cracks
• Storage tank floors from the outside “chime plate” to detect internal corrosion
• Aircraft components for fatigue and corrosion
• Pressure vessels and piping for corrosion damage
Operation
Ultrasonic flaw detectors typically are used by trained and certified technicians using hand-held probes to inspect the parts. Flaw detectors are full-featured ultrasonic instruments meant to display and record a-scan, b-scan, c-scan and d-scan data. These scans provide a top view, end view and side view of the component being inspected and display the data in a form that is easy for all parties to understand.
Thickness gauges are simpler to operate, and like the name suggests, are typically used to measure the remaining wall thickness of steel components that are subject to corrosion or erosion losses.
RTI sells ultrasonic flaw detectors and thickness gauges and many other State of the Art NDT equipments manufactured by leading manufacturers in Russia, China and North America. We are backed by the best manufacturers in the world and stock the most common instruments and probes in our Russell India office. In addition, we also supply probes, cables and customize it according to the client’s needs. For more information, contact us on 9717720995 or info@russelltech-india.com
