Check out this short video on our Vibrating Wire Jointmeter! This instrument is specially designed for measuring the relative displacement of two adjacent surfaces in three orthogonal directions and is designed to monitor three-way displacement at joints and cracks. This Jointmeter comprises a 3D mounting system which consists of two arms and two groutable anchors. Three vibrating wire displacement transducers, which also monitor temperature, are installed within the mounting system and positioned for monitoring.

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing ; #Phasedarray #ultrasonic testing probes are made up of several piezoelectric crystals that transmit/receive independently at different times. Each element radiates a spherical wave at a specified time, creating waves that converge and diverge to create an almost planar wave front at the specified location. Changing the progressive time delay allows the beam to be steered electronically and swept through the test material like a searchlight. When multiple beams are put together it creates a visual image that shows a slice through the test object. Despite the range of applications in which #PAUT shines, it is not the preferred testing method for detecting surface #cracks, metal #fatigue or bolt hole and tubing inspections. In these instances #eddycurrent testing is generally preferred, while PAUT is effective for #corrosion detection and the #ndt #inspection of #composite #materials and thicker welds. In addition, the angle of incidence is not always optimal when using #Sscan.

The November VOM is here, and it's all about plasma arc melting! 💥 🔩 Watch a plasma arc melting process where a high-power plasma arc is used to melt raw/scrap material inside a sealed vacuum chamber. 🔥 The XVC-1100 camera allows for the visualization of the melting process under very bright conditions, helping the operator properly manipulate the torch so that all solids are melted. It also shows when more material can be added to the molten pool. Multi-point pool temperature control (not shown here) can be extracted when using the Xiris XIR-1800 thermal camera. 🌀 How cool is it to see what appears to be vacuum arc discharges emitted from incandescent cathode spots surrounding the main molten pool? 😮💥🌀 #PlasmaArcMelting #VOM #MeltingProcess #Welding #Welders #WeldVideoOfTheMonth

ATINY high-definition molten pool monitoring camera G3-1 allows real-time clear observation of each weld seam, simple installation, and remote monitoring of the welding process through a display screen. It accurately captures every detail, resistant to arc glare and splatter interference.

Today's #ASAStandards Spotlight is ASA/ANSI S2.75-2017/Part 1 (R2020) - a standard that establishes methodology consistent with industry best practices for the measurement, analysis and correction of alignment of shafts on rotating machinery.

Xiris Automation Inc. weld cameras go beyond monitoring welding and AM processes. Capturing contents at the low end of brightness (raw materials, burners, and/or molten metal pans) as well as at the high end of brightness (arcs, hot refractories, or high-power flames) those cameras, using their High Dynamic Range technology, allow for the monitoring of several #furnaces applications. That can be further enhanced with the use Xiris's workhorse thermal #SWIR camera, the XIR-1800, where multiple temperature readings in the Field of View can be obtained. That includes segregating areas based on temperature, even through smoke. All that captured and made available to controllers in real time. Have a furnace application? Let's check it out.

You want a drill to power through hole… after hole… after hole? Then check out the three speed HMD920 magnetic drill. Uses “12,000-Series” cutters or Copperhead Carbide cutters for holes up to 2-⅜” in diameter. Features include: Pilot light, positive slug ejection, operator safety system, huge range of available accessories and the drill is made in the USA. https://lnkd.in/g2SJ-QfV #metalfabrication #cuttingtools #rippingthroughholes

𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗠𝗣𝗜) (1/5) 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials, including welds. It is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and maintenance to ensure the integrity of welded components. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: 1- 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The first step is to magnetize the area being inspected. This can be done by either using a permanent magnet or by passing an electric current through the material. The magnetic field created should be oriented perpendicular to the expected discontinuities.
