Tube End Inspection System (TEIS)

Product Description

Olympus’ Tube End Inspection System (TEIS) offers a solution to conventional tube-manufacturing inspection systems that leave substantial untested lengths at both ends of the pipe. The TEIS provides high-quality phased array (PA) inspection on the untested ends of seamless and welded pipes of various diameters and wall thicknesses (WT), with a detection performance equal to that of our Rotating Tube Inspection System (RTIS). A conventional ultrasonic testing (UT) option is also available.

Turnkey Tube-End Inspection Solution

Key advantages of the TEIS include:

• Accommodates pipe diameters from 60.3 mm (2.37 in.) to 508 mm (20 in.) OD, as well as larger diameter ranges upon request
• Fully automated operation, including calibration and calibration check, reducing the dependency on operator skill
• Detects typical flaws, such as:
  • Longitudinal and transverse cracks
  • Through-drilled holes (TDHs)
  • Lamination defects
• Provides the same inspection quality, reliability, and traceability as our full-body RTIS inspection, including the same software and similar setups
• A mode is available that enables one operator to supervise the inspection of both ends simultaneously
• Top turn signal can also be used for 2D mapping views
• Filtration is built into the system for a small footprint
• The EOT algorithm can be applied for PA inspection to detect transverse defects up to 5 mm (0.2 in.) from the edge
