Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging via Drones – Elios 3
Safe Remote Thickness Measurements
Safety and Efficiency:
- Masterscan Services offers a safe and efficient approach to remote thickness measurements, transforming the Elios 3 drone into a potent tool for capturing A-scans in challenging environments.
Certified Inspectors:
- Our certified inspectors leverage this service to perform accurate spot thickness measurements in hard-to-reach areas, ensuring comprehensive coverage without compromising safety.
Equipment We Use
Smart Features
Location-Tagged UT Measurements:
- With precision localisation on a digital twin, our service ensures that each measurement is accurately mapped during data capture.
Smart Couplant Dispenser:
- This feature guarantees optimal ultrasound coupling by dispensing the correct amount of couplant for flawless transmission into the test material.
Smart Probe Arm:
- Designed to adapt to various inspection points, the probe arm can be mounted in multiple positions, ensuring uninterrupted flight and measurement accuracy.
Laser-Focused Targeting:
- The UT probe’s laser pointer aids in precise targeting during flight, enhancing the accuracy of measurements.
Applications of Elios 3
Modular Probe Head
Interchangeable Probes:
- The service includes a set of twin crystal piezo-composite probes (2MHz, 5MHz, or 7.5 MHz), suitable for a range of inspection needs.
Versatile Measurement Capabilities:
- These probes excel in measuring heavily corroded metals and can penetrate surface coatings up to 1 mm (0.040 inch), providing flexibility in various inspection scenarios.
Cleaning Module
Surface Preparation:
- The probe head can be swapped with a cleaning module to clear deposits and prepare surfaces for measurement, with location tagging for precise return to cleaned spots.
Advantages of ELIOS 3
