Temate TG-IL Key Features
- Non-contact EMAT permits measurements at extreme temperatures at up to 5 mm from the surface of the material.
- EMAT not affected by surface conditions, can be used on very coarse, coated, oxidized or dirty surfaces.
- EMAT does not require the probe to be perfectly perpendicular to the part to perform the measurement.
- Dry-Coupled piezoelectric sensors permit inspection without couplant on non-metallic components.
- Great accuracy (+/-2.5 µm) and lateral resolution (1 mm – DCUT, 3 mm – EMAT).
- Compact, industrial instrumentation accessible via WiFi or Ethernet from any internet browser.
The TG-IL systems are designed for automated in-line thickness measurement of metallic and non-metallic materials using ultrasonic technology. The measurement is made by calculating the time it takes for an ultrasonic pulse that has been generated in the material to reflect back from an opposite wall or boundary.
On seamless tube manufacture, multichannel systems provide eccentricity and ovality at production temperatures and speed.
These systems use non-contact EMAT or dry-coupling methods to provide rapid non-destructive measurements without couplant.
On temate systems EMAT sensors can use electromagnets or permanent magnets depending on the type of material and the conditions of inspection.
On PowerUT systems, proprietary drycoupled piezoelectric transducers are combined with Innerspec’s high-power instrumentation to permit inspection of non-metallic or highly-resistive materials without the need for liquid couplant.
The TG-IL instrumentation is housed in a small industrial enclosure located near the point of inspection that broadcasts its own wireless signal.
Display and control are available from any device connected to the instrument via WiFi or the industrial Ethernet port using a regular internet browser.
