Description
Weld inspections are crucial during the fabrication process as well as on a regular basis to ensure weld integrity. Inspections with conventional ultrasonic angle beam probes are time consuming and provide limited documentation. The probability of detection is reduced due to the limited number of angles used, which could result in missed indications. Waygate Technologies now offers the PALM flatbed scanner for more accurate and efficient weld inspections.
Weld inspection starts here
The PALM flatbed scanner, part of the PALM scanner family, is a versatile and ergonomic ultrasonic test inspection tool that features an integrated encoder and magnetic wheels, allowing vertical and overhead operation. The scanner can be used on diameters greater than 90 mm for circumferential scanning and 200 mm for axial scanning. The PALM flatbed scanner circumferentially inspects pipes with diameters from 90 mm (3.5″) outside diameter to flat and inside diameters up to 250 mm (10″). The minimum axial scanning diameter is 200 mm. The tools can carry probes up to 70 mm (length) x 50 mm (width) to suit any inspection procedure regardless of pipe thickness, material or acceptance criteria. The PALM flatbed scanner is delivered with a wide selection of accessories to further simplify inspection and/or handling of the equipment. Together with other probe types, the PALM flatbed scanner also has the potential to solve many other applications.
