Ultrasonic Testing System ECHOGRAPH-BAPS Strips and Plates Testing System
Product Description
Welded pipes are produced from rolled, “endless” strips (or individual sheets), which must be checked for laminar imperfections and minimum wall thickness. The BAPS strip inspection system was specially developed for this purpose, and scans the strip with probes mounted from above.
By means of water gap coupling, wide TR probes with small dead zones are used. The number of probes depends on the required coverage (25 % to 100 % depending on the specification). Typical sheet thicknesses range from 4 mm to 25 mm, and sheet widths are typically up to 2 m.
The test mechanism is designed as a bridge and is usually equipped with a calibration station. Thus, the probes can be moved from the test position and efficiently calibrated using a motor-driven test sheet.
