TENIS

TENIS – Nozzle Inspection System

The TENIS scanner was developed to test the primary circuit nozzles within PWR vessels.

This scanner holds ten ultrasonic probes and can scan them axially and circumferentially over the internal surfaces of the nozzle.

Please download the technical article ‘Anyone for Tenis’ for a discussion on the scanner in use.



AXIS – Two Axis Pipe Scanner

AXIS

The AXIS Scanner has been developed to carry out automated inspection of TIG Welds in stainless steel tubing. It is also capable of detecting and positioning root, cap and mid-wall L.O.F defects in small bore pipes.








CHIME

CHIM - Channel Head Inspection Manipulator

The Phoenix Channel Head tube plate scanner, CHIM, allows the inspection of this critical weld in the normally inaccessible area behind the steam generator support legs.

  • Low profile
  • Modular
  • Unattended operation
  • Rapid Setup





EPSOM – Economiser Penetration Scanning Mechanism

EPSOM-2

EPSOM-1

The EPSOM Manipulator was designed originally to carry out automated inspection of a critical weld on the Economiser on the A.G.R Power Station.

It will operate in a Nuclear Reactor environment at temperatures of up to 50° C






NOZZLE-SCANNER-2

NOZZLE-SCANNER

NOZZLE SCANNER

The system is based on a turntable which can be adapted to scan everything from 100mm diameter nominal bore nozzles to 1600mm shell welds.

It can carry one or two probes, be used for both TOFD and conventional pulse echo scans, and uses vacuum or magnetic attachment.






PRIME

PRIME – Primary Circuit


For Steam Generator hot & cold leg inspection including transition, pipe to pipe and elbow welds the PRIME manipulator offers:

 

  • Low profile 70mm clearance
  • Unique umbilical cassette for unattended operation
  • Mounting on pipe or elbow


 


SWISSWIS – Set in (Nozzle) Weld Inspection System

Many of the more experienced in the practice of ultrasonic inspection appreciate the difficulties associated with the inspection of nozzle saddle welds.

The Saddle Weld Inspection System (SWIS) simulates the manual operator’s dexterity in rotating the probe whilst scanning around a nozzle.









PRIMO

PRIMO – Phoenix remote inspection Mole

For the internal testing of hollow shafts and pipes the PRIMO systems offer automated inspection using a combination of Multi probe heads:

  • eddy currents
  • visual
  • surface profile
  • ultrasonics




EDDY CURRENT Scanner for the INSPECTION of BOILER TUBES

EDDY CURRENTDesigned to test the external surface of the extension tube where the boiler tubes extend outward from the tubeplate. The scanner carries an Eddy Current probe accurately between the tubes and scans the full circumference. EDDY-CURRENT






Boiler-Head-End-PlateBOILER HEAD END PLATE SCANNER

Simple low cost low profile scanner which can be adapted for carrying Pulse Echo/ TOFD or Phased Array transducers.

APSIS - Automatic Pressuriser Surge Line Inspection System

APSIS - Automatic Pressuriser Surge Line Inspection System

APSIS

The Automatic Pressuriser Surge Line Inspection System was specifically designed for use on PWRs. It allows the inspection of transition, austenitic and thermal sleeve welds on the pressuriser surge line and the surge line to primary loop welds using conventional and TOFD techniques. APSIS can be assembled and dismantled in under 12 minutes and can operate unattended, thus limiting operators’ exposure to radiation.

For more information on the APSIS please contact our sales department.
