SonoDur3 by NewSonic - The newest hardness tester to provide both UCI and LEEB functionality

The QSR1 is GUL’s Quantitative Short Range device, designed for corrosion under pipe supports (CUPS

The system is designed to semi‑automatically scan predefined sections of straight pipelines for corrosion under pipe supports (CUPS).

The QSR1® can provide a quantitative measure of the average wall, as well as the remaining wall thickness down to half of the nominal wall thickness.

This instrument is suitable for motorised guided wave scanning on predefined sections of straight pipelines, with the added compatibility to operate with GUL’s cloud‑based platform.

Nominal Pipe Sizes: 6" to 24" (DN 150 to 600)
Thickness 6mm to 13mm (¼" to ½")
Operating Temperature -20° to +70°C (0 to 160°F)
Clearance Varies according to diameter.
Special frames available for limited clearance.

Consistent UT inspections with user-friendly Ultrasonic Phased Array Flaw Detector

Mentor UT is the first ultrasonic device to easily allow wireless connectivity and live streaming, so inspectors can get real-time second opinions when they need them. That same wireless cloud connectivity enables Mentor UT to remotely generate comprehensive inspection reports on users’ desktops with the click of a button.

A process that used to be cumbersome and complicated has been made simple thanks to the most comprehensive end-to-end UT solution available.

Mentor UT

The powerful next generation of UT inspections has arrived with the Mentor UT Phased Array Flaw Detector. Take the guesswork out of ultrasonic flaw inspections using the most accurate and intuitive tool on the market today.

The entire UT flaw detector system is housed in a glove-friendly touchscreen tablet that’s as easy to use as a smartphone. Pre-loaded Mentor Create software is fully customizable, allowing for user-defined menus and workflows (apps) for step by step guidance through the inspection process– from calibration to probe location to analysis. Confident and educated users mean that even the most complex inspections are performed consistently every time.

Guided Ultrasonics' newest iteration of their Wavemaker series.

The Wavemaker G4 represents GUL’s current full-size platform for collecting guided wave inspection data. It contains 32 transducer channels for interfacing to all of GUL’s transduction systems without needing adaptor cables. It also contains a range of peripherals to ensure quality guided wave data is collected quickly and efficiently; these include automatic transducer detection and diagnostics, an operator identification method, and a built-in GPS.

In addition to the ‘low’ frequencies used for standard pipe inspection, the G4 can be fitted with a ‘medium’ frequency sampling board to collect quality data from small diameter pipes or under supports (applications targeted by the HD series of rings). The instrument contains a dedicated diagnostics connection and the ability to support an advanced reflection amplitude calibration routine. In addition to the USB connection, the G4 features a wired LAN connection and a Wireless (WiFi) connection to a controlling computer. The instrument can also be controlled via its 7” colour touch screen.
