Applications exist where ultrasonic probes are required to be in place for long periods of time, sometimes in relatively extreme conditions. Typically, ultrasonic corrosion monitoring and ultrasonic flow metering place probes on a surface and take readings on a continuous or periodic basis. Water soluble gels eventually dry and the coupling effect is reduced and then [...]
Traveling at 170 miles per hour, a nearly 100-ton aircraft skims the surface above the tarmac. A few seconds later, the airplane touches down, small puffs of smoke emerging from the tires when they touch the ground. This scene occurs thousands of times a day. Airplane wheels are essential for ensuring that each landing happens safely. [...]
Inspecting heat exchanger welds is challenging because of the number of welds to inspect and their close proximity. To be able to reach the welds and to achieve high productivity, it is important to use a tool that is optimized for this type of inspection. Olympus’ COBRA® scanner can be used to inspect diameters ranging from [...]
