System for non-destructive testing of tubes and pipes

The LOCIS is a latest-generation non-destructive testing system integrated into the roller conveyor for testing longitudinally conveyed pipes using phased array ultrasound and a rotating water jacket. The material is inspected for internal defects and longitudinal cracks on the inner and outer surface. In addition, the wall thickness is measured and evaluated online. The modular design without mechanically moving components enables the testing of pipes and tubes with a diameter of typically 60 to 180 mm without major mechanical conversion measures.
