Key Sections:
  • Quality Assurance Process: The document details a thorough quality assurance process, including requirement analysis, specifications adherence, simulation, feasibility studies, material selection, prototyping, product validation, manufacturing, delivery, and support.
  • Connector Options: Various connector options are available for probes, such as Phasor, Hypertronics™, Omniscan™, and Mentor UT connectors. The MUX module enhances functionality for probes with more than 32 elements.
  • General Use Probes: Suitable for a wide range of applications like weld inspection, tubes, pipes, and structural components, these probes are compatible with wedges, delay lines, or wear caps.
  • Weld Inspection Probes: Designed for plate and pipe inspection, these probes support sector and linear scanning and come with different connector types.
  • Small Footprint Welding Probes: Ideal for smaller objects and thinner sections, these probes offer phased array capabilities and fit on standard single element MSWS wedges.
  • Integral Wedge Probes: These facilitate easy transition from conventional to phased array inspection, featuring durable housing and non-detachable wedges.
  • Corrosion Probes: Used for detecting remaining wall thickness, corrosion, and near-surface flaws, these probes offer excellent near-surface resolution and adjustable wear bars.
Data and Specifications: Detailed tables list part numbers, specifications, and features for various probes and accessories, ensuring users can select the appropriate equipment for their specific needs.
Conclusion: Krautkrämer's phased array probes and accessories are designed to meet diverse inspection requirements with a focus on quality, customization, and support, backed by a robust warranty and global distribution network.
Wear Bars and Accessories: Various types of wear bars are listed, including curved, flat, and ported wear bars, each with specific part numbers. These are designed for different applications, such as alignment on curved pipes or durability on flat plates. Accessories for corrosion probes are also mentioned, highlighting features like excellent acoustic performance and ease of use.
Composite Inspection Probes: Primarily used for inspecting composite materials and structures, these probes offer excellent acoustic performance and can be used in various orientations. They are equipped with a transparent tire for easy bubble removal and come with multiple connector options.
RotoArray: Designed for quick scanning in tight locations, the RotoArray has a compact design to prevent operator fatigue. It includes various accessories for maintenance and functionality, such as encoder cables, frame assemblies, and fluid fill bottles.
Water Wedge Probes: These probes minimize water usage for coupling, with features like hardwater delay to improve near-surface resolution. They are available with different connectors and are acoustically matched to water.
Immersion Probes: Used for composite plate inspection and large area scanning, these probes are acoustically matched for efficiency in water and are designed for fast inspection with a waterproof design.
Bolt Inspection Probes: These probes detect defects in threaded bolts, offering high-quality inspection and reducing potential liabilities. They come with a protective membrane for steady coupling on rough surfaces.
Solutions & Services: Waygate Technologies offers application centers worldwide for personalized problem-solving and custom transducer designs. They provide a range of product support services, including field service, repair, calibration, and training programs.
Regional Offices: The document lists regional offices across Europe, America, and Asia, providing contact information for each location. Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes Business, has a global presence with sales and service offices worldwide.
