ECHOPLUS Mobile Diagnostic Laboratory

The ECHOPLUS Company presents a new mobile laboratory based on the AUGUR-TF automated ultrasonic inspection system for conducting zonal non-destructive testing in the field.

The use of a mobile laboratory makes it possible to significantly reduce the time of ultrasonic testing and improve the working conditions.

The laboratory can be implemented on the selected vehicle and equipped with non-destructive testing and other devices in accordance with the tasks to be solved according to Customer requirements.

The laboratory includes:

  • Modular automated ultrasonic control system AUGUR-TF. The control is carried out by an ultrasonic echo pulse method using phased array antenna technology (FAR) and the diffraction-time method (DVM or TOFD) with a contact method of ultrasound input from an external surface using a single-coordinate scanner. When using the HEADLIGHT method, the technology of zonal partitioning is used
  • Retractable stand for the tuning sample
  • A tuning sample for zone control for a specific standard size and welding technology
  • VIC Kit (A3-Engineering)
  • PVC Kit/MPD
  • Manual ultrasonic Flaw detector
  • Multichannel HEADLIGHT and CFA- manual ultrasonic flaw detector of the AUGUR-ART series

Zonal partitioning technology

Zonal splitting technology is a method of ultrasonic inspection, in which the weld is divided into zones (no more than 3 mm) corresponding to the height of the deposited metal during welding. A separate ultrasonic channel with its own control scheme is created for each of the zones. For each control scheme, reference reflectors (flat-bottomed holes and grooves along the cutting boundary) are inserted into the tuning sample, according to the reflections from which the condition of the equipment is monitored before and after the inspection of each welded joint. This approach ensures the highest level of reliability and quality of control results without compromising the high productivity of the welding column operating on extended construction sites.

Zonal splitting technology is a method of ultrasonic inspection, in which the weld is conditionally divided into zones (no more than 3 mm) in height, which correspond to the height of the deposited metal during welding. The principle of zonal splitting consists in dividing the cutting of the welded joint into zones according to height, for each of the zones a separate ultrasonic channel is created with its own control scheme, and its flat-bottomed reflector or groove along the cutting boundary in the tuning sample (calibration block).
