Innerspec PowerBox H Key Features
- High-temperature thickness measurement.
- Thickness scanning without couplant.
- Austenitic weld inspection (single element).
- Inspection under supports and on air-to-soil interfaces using guided waves.
- Light-post inspections.
- Surface wave inspections.
- Measurement of Stress, Bolt-Load and Nodularity.
- Corrosion and flow monitoring (see monitoring applications).
- Thickness Measurement with Dry-Coupled Piezoelectric Probes.
- Thickness Measurement with standard liquid-coupled probes (requires signal attenuator).
Innerspec PowerBox H is designed for ultrasonic applications that require very high voltages and/or long bursts of energy such as non-contact techniques (EMAT, Air-Coupled) and inspection of highly-attenuating materials.
The instrument is capable of generating up to 1200V or 8kW of peak power at speeds of up to 300Hz. It incorporates integrated digitizer and broadband pulsers/receivers to perform a variety of flaw inspection, thickness, and material property measurements in factory or field environments.
Spike and tone-burst pulses at frequencies from 100 kHz to 6MHz can be generated to excite a full range of ultrasonic wave modes, including bulk and guided waves in pulse-echo and pitch-catch arrangements.
For pulse-echo operation, a built-in transmitter/receiver switch permits connecting the sensor directly to the instrument with no additional hardware.
The instrument can be used with EMAT and piezoelectric sensors from Innerspec Technologies and other manufacturers. A setting of 600Vpp (approx. 3kW) is also available to maximize battery life if the application does not require full power.
Embedded software permits the user to modify triggering and receiving patterns, use advanced filters to enhance signal-to-noise, and present the information on A, B, C and Line Scan formats. Screen captures, device settings and data can be downloaded to a PC using additional software provided with the instrument.
