A high performing ultrasonic rail flaw detection tool that allows one pass analysis.
Rail specific design for
- sidings, depots, yards
- spot checks for typical ‘no-test’ areas
- flaw and weld verification
Modes of Operation
- Hand verification uses A-Scans as in traditional NDT/UT Hand testers with hand held probes to verify type and position of flaw
- Regular RFD testing uses C-Scans to locate, detect and cross verify track condition
Features
- 5 ultrasonic channels recording simultaneously
- Uses Wheel Probe (RSU) technology (not skid type)
- Can be used with the other ULTRAWave RFD information
- Dual mode of Hand verification and Continuous track testing for;
- close investigation by verifying and sizing of possible flaws
- regular track testing with similar performance to larger RFD vehicle
- Superior graphics with A and C-Scan displays
- Runs on PC based hardware and can include other RFD information for immediate comparison
- Information can be shared by standard PC function
- GPS location can be linked with recorded information
- All components are IP65 rated or above for all weather use
- Unit is collapsible
- All components such as processing module, water tank and battery are easily and quickly removed from frame when needed.
Advantages
- One pass for simultaneous analysis reduces on-rail time
- PC based hardware for ease of maintenance and reduced replacement costs
