COMPACT RINGS
The Compact® ring is the latest addition to the GUL guided wave transduction system which has been designed to be lightweight and low profile. This new system has been completely re‑engineered to build on everything that has been done before, while reducing weight by 35%, axial width by 30%, and radial height clearance to under 38mm.
This is an inspection system designed to tackle a wide range of inspection challenges including:
- Bare / Painted Pipes
- Sleeved or Unsleeved Road Crossing Pipes
- Buried Pipes
Pneumatic Loading
Ring Joining
Smart Sensors
Easy Load Modules
Lightweight
Spring-Lock Latch
Available Transducers Modules:
Two row transducer for standard frequency inspection. Key application areas include:
- Bare / Painted Pipes
- Sleeved or Unsleeved Road Crossing Pipes
Two row transducer modules with wider spacing for low frequency inspection. Key application areas include:
- Buried Pipes
- Coated Pipes
Three row transducer modules with incorporated multiple spacing for inspection across an ultra wide band frequency range without having to swap modules. Application areas include those listed for EC-30 and EC-42 type modules.
