VOLTA 2 (EMAT)

VOLTA 2 is a high-power 2-channel portable ultrasonic instrument custom-designed for Electro Magnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) applications. It features patented pulser technology capable of generating from 1-10 cycles at up to 1,000Vpp to satisfy the most energy-demanding EMAT applications in a compact and rugged package.

Optional Software Applications:
  • WELD INSPECTION. Using guided waves (thin materials) and bulk waves (SV and SH).
  • RAYLEIGH WAVES. Surface inspections.
  • PIPES & TUBES.
    • MRUT. For flaw detection with medium-range ultrasonic guided waves.
    • MRUT SIZING. To provide remaining wall measurements on pipelines using MRUT axial and circumferential scanning.
    • LRUT LITE. For flaw detection with long-range ultrasonic guided waves using an axisymmetric magnetostrictive ribbon in Pulse-Echo mode.
    • LRUT FOCUS. For circumferential focusing LRUT with a separate receiver scanner.
  • PLATES, TANKS & RAIL
    • MRUT for flaw detection with Medium Range guided waves.
    • STRESS RR WHEELS Stress measurement for railroad wheels.
  • NON-LINEAR UT for damage characterization in early stages.
  • EXPERT for researchers and advanced practitioners permits creating custom configurations with standard and advanced software tools and filters (FFT, IFFT, TCG, SAFT, Spectrograms, Dispersion Curves, Cancellation, Normalization, and Suppression).

MRUT SIZING AXIAL: DEFECT DETECTION AND MEASUREMENT OF REMAINING WALL THICKNESS ON PIPES WITH GENERALIZED CORROSION
Arix Technologies sought to evaluate the MRUT SIZING application using VOLTA 2 for their inspection operations. To assess the application's performance, they provided a pipe sample containing conditions commonly encountered in the field, along with four artificial defects designed to challenge remaining wall thickness estimation.

BURIED GAS RISER PIPE INSPECTION USING MEDIUM AND LONG-RANGE GUIDED WAVES
An Australian LNG Company has many gas field riser pipes in remote locations. The risers are wrapped in various mediums depending on the chosen wrap technology at the time that they were constructed. Currently, the LNG Company policy is to excavate the risers and strip the wrap to visually inspect the pipes for external corrosion.
