EXAMPLES OF FLAW DETECTOR APPLICATION
| Testing of bolt holes with the help of eddy current rotary scanner. | |
 Signal projection (view) from a natural defect such as a crack with depth of 0.56 mm in the aircraft wheel bolt-hole. |
 Circular scan allows an operator to place the defect in the hole. |
| Casting testing | |
 Fatigue crack of 0,7 mm deep detected during testing of 18- 100 model bolster. |
 Application of special-purpose PN-12- MDP- 01 and PN-09-MDP-01 probes in protective cases together with ALARM units and digital signal processing will allow to eliminate the influence of interfering factors such as roughness, edge effect, ECP separation from the testing object surface etc. Signals of stress-corrosion defect are obtained by VD3-81 flaw detector eddycon from the main gas pipeline section through the layer of insulation covering thickness of 6 mm.Application of VD3-81 flaw detector Eddycon for conduction of main or confirmatory body testing will enable to evaluate the pipe damage level and its further operability. |
