TS-2000
AVOID EXPENSIVE BOILER TUBE FAILURES IN YOUR PLANT. TheTESTEX TS-2000 NDT SYSTEM is the most innovative O.D. scanning system and method for testing Waterwalls, Superheaters, Reheaters, Economizers and Other Tubing and Piping to date.
The TS-2000 is a multichannel NDT system for scanning most any boiler tube/pipe from the O.D. It detects and quantifies I.D., O.D., and internal material defects in ferrous and nonferrous materials. The system uses a dry non-contact method based on the principals of Electromagnetics. It is forgiving to uniform surface scale and tests at a scanning speed of 10 to 15 ft. (3 to 4.5m) per minute. The system is fast, accurate, cost effective and field proven. Furthermore, the system can be adapted to many different applications, such as testing ligaments, bends, space constricted areas, and small diameter tubing.   * Scanning speed up to 10 to 15 ft. (3 to 4.5m) per minute
*Light weight, modular, DSP based electronics/PC operated.
*Real time data display with advanced signal processing.
* High resolution color graphics with 3D display.
* 8 or 16 sensors to achieve up to 170 degrees of coverage in a single scan.

The TS-2000 DSP (Digital Signal Processing) based 8 channel electronics.


2.5" (63.5mm) and 3.0" (76.2mm) O.D. scanners for tube testing. These scanners can be contoured to test tubes of any diameter.

Advantages and Design Features
* Dry non-contact method. No couplant necessary
* Uniform rust, scale, and coatings have no impact on testing process.
* Variety of contoured scanners to fit any tube/pipe diameter.
* Special application scanners available for many different tasks, such as ligaments, bends, space constricted areas, and small diameter tubing.

Examples of Typical Defects

The TS-2000 can detect caustic and phosphate gouging, hydrogen damage/corrosion cells, oxygen pitting, cracking (including stress corrosion cracking on stainless steel), flue gas/high/low NOx and SOx erosion, wormholing, and manufacturing defects (by baseline inspection).

Software Representations

The TS-2000's scan software package contains modules for Data Acquisition, 3D Full Color Data Display, Quick View Analysis, and Advanced Digital Signal Processing. This provides accurate flaw detection, location, and quantification of boiler tube defects.
