Description

HD Inflatable Rings

HD rings have been developed for applications that require higher sensitivity and resolution, when populated with HD transducer modules.

HD Inflatable Rings allow screening pipes with nominal sizes from 6″ upwards, using pneumatic pressure to press the transducers evenly against the pipe surface. Interchangeable transducer modules are used to populate the rings, so one set can be applied across different sizes.

Available Transducer Types

HD

2‑row 4‑transducer (2 per row) fixed space module to inspect at a higher frequency regime for increased sensitivity and resolution.

Application areas include:

  • Bare / Painted Pipes
  • Unsleeved / Sleeved Road Crossings
  • Localised Pitting
  • Pipes with many Welded Supports
  • Concrete Anchor Supports
  • Inspections for Localised Pitting
Adjustable Transducer
Adjustable

2‑row adjustable transducer modules with four transducer spacings to cover a wider frequency regime range.

*Can be used on HD rings when maximum resolution is not needed.
