Description

InspecTech® Ultrasonic Test Systems have been at work in tube mills around the globe for over 30 years. Ultrasonic testing of welded tube is a universally recognized method, offering equal sensitivity to both inside and outside defects regardless of material thickness. Codes of practice such as ISO, API and CSA all take ultrasonic testing of welds as an acceptable, or even mandatory, method.

All InspeTech Tube and Pipe testing systems use immersion transducers operating in a holder that retains coupling liquid (we prefer mill coolant for this). In effect then, and unlike most manufacturers, we are doing an immersion test, generating shear waves at the interface between liquid and tube surface. This is very efficient as we eliminate transfers to and from any further media (e.g. plastic).

However, we reasoned that a test head that is dedicated to testing just the end zone plus a few feet of pipe, when operated with a second test head that tests the majority of the pipe length, could be a significant improvement.

Bob had been part of InspecTech at the very beginning in 1977, and he had returned to us in 1996 to run our mechanical shop. Bob's knowledge of machine shop practice was encyclopaedic, and our product quality flourished under his guidance.
