The sen­sor gene­ra­tes 360° ultra­sound direct­ly in the pipe wall and can be retro­fit­ted to a wide varie­ty of pipes and pipe dia­me­ters.
Extre­me con­di­ti­ons - insi­de and out­side. Becau­se not only the loca­ti­on is diver­se, but also the medi­um. Tem­pe­ra­tures from -40°C to 650°C can occur insi­de the pipe­lines.
The­r­e­fo­re, the choice of mate­ri­al for the con­ver­ter housing is very limi­t­ed. A robust metal frame con­s­truc­tion, which is held in place by two end caps, ensu­res pro­tec­tion against the wea­ther and mecha­ni­cal influen­ces. The­se were desi­gned in such a way that they can be manu­fac­tu­red in small series using the inex­pen­si­ve rub­ber pad pres­sing pro­cess.
A pro­fi­led sheet metal housing cover, which is also reflec­ted in the design of the con­ver­ter, ensu­res maxi­mum lon­gi­tu­di­nal rigi­di­ty. This pro­ces­ses the mea­su­re­ment data and pres­ents them to the user on dis­plays.
Its explosion-proof metal housing accom­mo­da­tes the sen­si­ti­ve mea­su­re­ment elec­tro­nics. Seve­ral con­ver­ters are able to com­mu­ni­ca­te with each other or bund­le the mea­su­re­ment data. The con­ver­ter also sup­pli­es the sen­sor with power.
