HotSense Angle Beam Transducer (TOFD)

Time-of-flight diffraction transducers for on-stream weld root corrosion and crack/defect detection for use in applications across refining, oil & gas, energy, nuclear, aerospace, and process sectors.

Advantages

• Stable signal for reliability and repeatability – no duty cycling means no drift from thermal gradients in the wedges.
• Short approach to beam exit to get closer to weld caps.
• Enhanced wear resistance for the most extreme environments and applications.

Features

• Make weld inspections on hot assets, on-stream, without the need to shutdown or isolate.
• Make effective weld root corrosion assessments rapidly at high-temperature.
• Detect and size cracks or defects in welds or parent material on-stream.
• Screen for HTHA in-service.
• TOFD carries the highest POD for NDT methods.
