Advanced / Specialist Non-Destructive Testing

Acoustic Eye Testing  (AET

The leader in non-invasive tube inspection solutions for the heat exchanger market, has unveiled the Dolphin™ G3 tube inspection system. The G3 is based on the same breakthrough Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry (APR) technology used in the original Dolphin, which has been successfully utilized by customers worldwide since it was first introduced last year. The Dolphin G3 is ideally suited for testing heat exchanger systems Across industries such as oil and gas, chemical, and power-generation markets.

Main benefits of AET:

• Fully inspect each tube in less than 9 seconds, regardless of length, configuration, or material
  
• Inspect tubes up to 10 times faster than all previously existing methods
  
• Test 100% of heat exchanger tubes, dramatically decreasing testing and facility shut-down time
  
• Software automatically detects and numbers tubes, producing a complete tube sheet map in
  
• Higher sensitivity and improved probability of detection
  
• Works with any tube material and configuration (e.g., bends, U-tubes, fintubes, spirals)
  
• Optimized signal to noise ratio (SNR)
  
• Identifies hard-to-detect bulges, end-of-tube erosion, fouling and inward dents
