Quickly screen axial (longitudinal) flaws in pipes, such as grooving corrosion, from a single point. The QSR Axial is a specialized Guided Wave Testing (GWT) System that focuses on axial wave modes to efficiently detect longitudinal discontinuities in piping. This is essential for screening long lengths of pipe for grooving or seam-line corrosion that circumferential waves may miss. Its portability makes it an ideal, rapid screening tool for integrity inspections in complex industrial assets. Supplier: Guided Ultrasonics Ltd. (GUL)
A dedicated Guided Wave Testing (GWT) tool specifically configured for axial wave propagation in pipework. It is optimized to screen for generalized wall thinning and corrosion across long sections of pipe. The axial mode provides a highly effective method for corrosion-under-insulation (CUI) detection, allowing for inspection without costly insulation removal or extensive scaffolding.
A system for Guided Wave Testing (GWT), used for long-range screening of pipelines and piping for corrosion and defects with axial focusing capabilities. Its core function is Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) of piping systems.
| Principle | Long-Range Guided Wave Testing (GWT) - Axial Scanning |
| Application | Corrosion/Erosion screening, suitable for pipe diameters from 2 inches up to large bore. |
| Key Feature | Focused Axial Scan capability for defect circumferential position detection and sizing. |
| Screening Range | Up to 100 m (bi-directional), dependent on pipe geometry, coating, and burial condition. |
| Frequency Range | Typically 10 kHz to 100 kHz (optimized for long-range propagation) |
| Transducer Type | Magnetostrictive or Piezoelectric ring array (designed for axial focusing) |
| Data Display | A-scan (distance vs. amplitude) and C-scan type display (circumferential location/mapping). |
| Operating Modes | Axial Wave Mode (L(0,2) and T(0,1) are common GWT modes, with specific focusing capabilities) |
