AUGUR Т

Automated ultrasonic inspection system for austenitic and pearlite welded joints of large thickness using traditional ultrasonic transducers and TOFD technology

AUGUR-T system with the ability to connect up to eight pairs of ultrasonic piezoelectric transducers and a diffraction-time control method (TOFD).

The system has been successfully tested in "Rosenergoatom" Concern, "Gazprom".
