Next-generation guided wave testing instrument
21/03/2022
It has been nearly 25 years since the commercial launch of Teletest, the first guided wave testing (GWT) (also known as guided wave ultrasonic testing (GWUT) or long-range ultrasonic testing (LRUT)) instrument designed to efficiently screen long pipes, including buried pipelines, for corrosion. With the technology and supporting expertise acquired by Eddyfi Technologies in 2017, significant research and development have been heavily invested into this offering. The company has recently announced the introduction of Sonyks, the result of true innovation and industry-fed improvements for peak performance and the ultimate user experience.
As the Teletest Focus+ passes the torch on to the next generation of guided wave testing equipment, all aspects of the LRUT system have been re-engineered. Operators will immediately benefit from an enhanced instrument with the rapidly deployed Magneto-tool, single connection Piezo-tooling, powerful software and reporting package. Setting new standards for data quality, versatility, ease of use and deployment, Sonyks has made the technology more accessible with the reinvention of guided waves. Said to be the first GWT instrument featuring a large high-quality touchscreen, Sonyks brings comprehensive data to the operator’s fingertips with lightning-fast electronics using a combination of broadband and full matrix capture (FMC) data collection. Improved signal quality, high reliability and simple on-instrument interpretation for nearly effortless reporting offer an enhanced user experience.
Sonyks unlocks new opportunities with an ability to assess more pipework applications in a cost- and time-efficient manner, while finding even smaller defects and achieving a greater range. Whether examining high-attenuation or buried pipelines, flanged pipework or above-ground pipes, the Magneto-tool for 1.5-4 inch-diameter pipelines offers an impressive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for increased inspection efficiency. For 6-72 inch-diameter pipes, the Piezo-tool is said to be the lightest and most flexible tool on the market featuring a rapid mounting system. Careful attention to detail has ensured that it packs tightly, reducing travel cases and the cost of shipping. Service providers can make the most of their past investment in GWT by using existing transducer rings, as Sonyks is compatible with most commercial piezo guided wave equipment. Existing collars can also be paired with this ultra-modern instrument, which features what the company describes as best-in-class electronics.
