Other arguments have been posted on this forum not a long time ago: * Restrictions of TOFD - Frits Dijkstra 22:58:39 8/25/98 (1) * Re: Restrictions of TOFD - Jan Verkooijen 17:24:34 9/23/98 (0) In that Frits Dijkstra's wrote "...using one technique as a "safety net" for the other" I like this idea, especially for testing of safety components which we have in the aircraft, nuclear and chemical industries (our this month's sessions!). Ed Ginzel: >However, considering the relative ease with which mechanised systems can now incorporate both >PE and TOFD it seems a waste of technology not to use both at the same time if they are available. >It is only a matter of time before customers figure out that the standard software in a mechanised >system has both PE and TOFD data displays available and they are being ripped off if they are >charged a great deal more for an extra 2 probes and a toggle on the software display to activate >TOFD. It seems that software costs nothing, it can be easily copied with no costs! We must consider that development time is a big part of the manufacturing costs and manufacturer need a fair return of investment. It would be interesting to hear from other people they know about more specific applications for that PE + TOFD could be an excellent marriage.

Product Spotlight IntraPhase Athena Phased Array System StandWesDyne International (AMDATA Products) The Athena Phased Array system, manufactured by WesDyne NDE Products & Technology, consists of a pha ... sed array acquisition system and PC running IntraSpect software. A PC is used to perform acquisition, analysis and storage of the data. System hardware is capable of operating up to four data sets with any combination of phased array or conventional UT probes. NOW AVAILABLE IN 64-64 CONFIGURATION. > 9 Showcases TESTD-PT SYSTEM StandTelops Pulse thermography is a non-contact test method that is ideal for the characterization of thin fil ... ms and coatings or the detection of defects. With a remarquable short test time and a high detection sensitivity, the Telops TESTD-PT is the perfect tool for non- destructive testing. With such high frame rates, it is even possible to investigate highly conductive or diffusive materials. > 2 Showcases Silverwing RMS PA - Phased-array corrosion mapping StandSilverwing Eddyfi Technologies integrated two market leading solutions, Silverwing’s RMS and M2M’s instru ... ments to provide a high-speed, remote access ultrasonic phased-array inspection system with live total focusing method (TFM). > 5 Showcases5 Videos NEW! The PragmaPro Instrument Platform StandPRAGMA The PragmaPro is based on a modular cartridge technology and supports various NDT instrument modal ... ities such as UT, PAUT, ECT and many more. This new platform is based on a machined, powder-coated aluminum frame for shock-proofness, best sealing qualities and maximum heat dissipation. This is practical to extend the outdoor temperature range and/or to extend the power injected in the transducers. The PragmaPro is aiming at a very wide range of applications, such as weld scanning, corrosion mapping and composite testing. > 5 Showcases more Showcases
