HIGH TEMPERATURE DUAL ELEMENT UT PROBE

HotSense™ HS582i, high-temperature dual element thickness gauging transducers

Reduce inspection time with no duty cycling and robust calibration.

Dual element ultrasonic transducer for high-temperature, in-service thickness, corrosion and surveys for use in applications across refining, oil & gas, energy, nuclear, aerospace and process sectors.

Compliant to EN 12668:2 and ASTM E1065 to meet existing asset integrity UT procedures

TECHNOLOGY

• Built on the award winning HotSense^™ ultrasonic platform powered by the proprietary Ionix HPZ piezo-ceramic, and offering increased heat resilience
• Dual element thickness gauging transducer for use through -55 to +550 °C [-67 to +1,022 °F] wide temperature range for in-service assets
• Reduce inspection time with no duty cycling or cooling up to +350 °C [662 °F] maximising productivity and minimising down-time or outages with in-service inspection

TECHNICAL DETAILS

• Measure remaining wall thickness from 1 to 500 mm with compliant thickness gauges on hot assets, in-service, without shutdown or isolation
• Better data from easier and more accurate calibration at asset temperature
• 2X increased wear resistance for the most extreme environments and applications including scanning and corrosion mapping
• Range of accessories available, including port inspection wand and safety guards for the most extreme temperatures
• Compatible with industry standard ultrasonic gauges and flaw detectors
• Compliant to EN 12668:2 and ASTM E1065 to meet existing asset integrity UT procedures
