Erosion Monitoring of Buried Tailing Lines
Case Studies, Mining, Monitoring, Monitoring case study HotSense, Ionix, Mining, Monitoring, Tailing Lines, Wear
A solution was sought to monitor erosion caused by ore tailings from a mining operation in South America.
The subsequent wall-loss has the potential to cause failures and loss of containment, resulting in lost productivity, and damage to nearby population and environment. Find out more in this latest case study.

A demonstration of the Ionix high-temperature TOFD transducers, with integrated wedges, for their suitability for weld inspection at elevated temperatures up to 240 °C is shown here. The wedges are mounted on to a modified EddyFi Lyncs scanner for high-temperature
encoding, with high-temperature couplant, connected to commercially available UT sets from EddyFi and
Olympus.

High-temperature TOFD inspection of carbon steel weld
HotSense, TOFD, TOFD Case Study, TOFD User Guidance HotSense, Inspection, NDT, TOFD
Ionix high-temperature TOFD transducers, with integrated wedges, are suitable for weld inspection at elevated temperatures up to 350 °C. Here, the transducers with integrated wedges are mounted on to a modified EddyFi Lyncs scanner for high-temperature encoding, with high-temperature couplant, connected to commercially
available Mantis UT set, and a carbon steel plate inspected at 240 °C for lack of side wall fusion and notches in the weld.
