Virtual examples

Tube inspection example

In line testing of tubes requires high acoustic performances and high inspection speed

Thanks to the electronic rotation of the beam, circular phased array probes allow very fast inspection
Besides, phased array probe made with Imasonic’s piezocomposite technology provide high resolution and signal to noise ratio.

Main features

  • Combination of electronic scanning, focusing and deflection
  • Circular pre-focusing of the array probe
  • Use of 1, 2 or 4 simultaneous beams, depending on the setup
  • Virtual rotation speed up to 10000 rpm
  • Instantaneous electronic adaptation to tube diameter and thickness
  • No rotating probe holder required

Weld inspection example

Conventional weld inspection with single angled transducers required 2 perpendicular scanlines

Only one mechanical scanline is necessary thanks to the electronic translation of the beam.
Imasonic phased array probes allow beam deflection untill the required beam angle while keeping the necessary sensitivity due to the low cross coupling between elements.

Main features

  • Combination of electronic scanning, focusing and deflection
  • Only one mechanical scanline required instead of two
  • Adapted Focusing for each shot and acoustic path
  • Faster inspection
