Ionix EchoCorr™ is a non-invasive ultrasonic thickness monitoring system suitable for the mining, chemical and oil and gas industries to optimise the management and maintenance of buried tailing lines. Explore this Application Note for more information.
Ionix high-temperature TOFD transducers, with integrated wedges, are suitable for weld inspections at continuous 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 pipe weld inspected at 200 °C for weld root corrosion.
Ultrasonic time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) is a popular method widely used in petrochemical, energy and other industries for the in-service detection and characterisation of welds defects such as root corrosion, porosity, inclusions, and cracks. This latest application note explores Time-of-flight diffraction on carbon steel welded plate up to 240 °C.
Ionix was welcomed back to Houston to connect with new and existing friends as well as conduct our high temperature masterclass aimed at giving current Ultrasonic NDT Technicians the training and confidence required to perform high temperature measurements using Ionix true high temperature transducers based on the award winning HotSense™ platform.
Ionix HotSense is a non-invasive ultrasonic thickness monitoring solution;
For users of pressurised steam pipes and vessels;
Who want to always know the remaining life of their assets;
So that they can shorten outages to maximise availability and reduce outage costs.
Unlike manual inspection data HotSense provides trending of wall loss and detection of changes to predict maintenance intervals and optimize process conditions.
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.

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.
