Emerald
Emerald
Emerald is a compact, phased array ultrasonic system that offers extreme performance. It is designed to handle the most challenging inspections conditions found in oil & gas, power generation, in-service railway, manufacturing, heavy industry and aerospace.
Details
Unleash the power of Phased Array
Designed with industry leading phased array ultrasound testing (PAUT), total focusing method (TFM) imaging capabilities and time-of-flight-diffraction (TOFD), Emerald delivers fast performance and intelligent results. Featuring exceptional signal quality, it can achieve high amplification without signal distortion.
With real-time multi-TFM processing onboard and offline, combined with full matrix capture (FMC) and plane wave imaging (PWI) data acquisition features, the Emerald phased array system can produce faster and more detailed inspection results than ever before.
Intelligent features
- Full matrix capture (FMC) up to 128 elements
- Real-time high-speed multi-TFM onboard processing
- 64 channel code compliant PAUT
- Parallel firing and processing PA channels
- Time-of-flight-diffraction
- Multi-channel raw FMC encoded data saving
- High dynamic analog signal amplification range
Experience the Emerald difference for an inspection advantage
Multiple firing modes for more detail: FMC or PWI can be used to acquire data.
Onboard real-time, multi-TFM processing for faster results: With an onboard processing capability of up to 1M+ points per TFM frame and up to eight simultaneous TFM reconstructions, Emerald offers the most versatile and powerful TFM imaging capability in its class. Onboard processing delivers faster and more efficient TFM reconstructions. Save data on an external device for later offline reconstruction.
Multi-channel raw FMC encoded data saving: Data recording up to 128-element apertures and two 64 element DMA (dual matrix array) probes.
Advanced focusing techniques: Sectorial total focusing (STF) combines the advantages of the industry accepted sectorial view presentation with the focusing capabilities of TFM. Live FMC or PWI data is reconstructed generating sectorial sweep with all angles focused in each point along the sound path. The summed A-scan signals are available for each angle, similar to PAUT.
Superior signal quality: With double stage analog amplification circuits and 16-bit resolution digitizing, Emerald can deliver high amplification without signal distortion.
Fast, industrial-grade data throughput: Emerald uses a high-speed five Gigabit per second ethernet link for data transfer with cables up to 100 meters (300 feet) long.
Compact, rugged & scalable: With an IP65 designed enclosure, Emerald can work in almost any industrial environment without external protection. Multiple instruments connected in parallel to the same UltraVision session offer almost limitless capability for complex inspection configurations.
Bipolar pulsers: Penetrate through thick components; bipolar pulsers can deliver up to 40% more acoustic energy for the same gain settings.
Two dedicated UT channels: Up to eight additional conventional channels or four TOFD pairs with the probe splitter module.
