Rail Probe (WideScan)
AP007

This is a single probe that is capable of detecting orientated flaws in one pass of the rail head and producing a signal output that is related to the surface length and depth (size) of the flaw. The active face of the probe can easily be contoured to suit different rail head shape and indeed could be shaped to suit rolling stock applications.

Conductivity Measurements on WeldCheck+ and AeroCheck+
AP004

Conductivity measurements are required in the aircraft manufacturing and maintenance fields where they are used to verify proper alloy/temper, detect heat damaged components, to determine the purity of precious metals or to measure paint thickness.

Dual Frequency Non-Ferrous Tube Inspection using Mixing or Absolute Differential
AP003

Mixing on a non-ferrous tube to minimise the effect of a ferrous support ring.

The conventional example of mixing is to use a non-ferrous tube and minimise the effect of a ferrous support ring, this test uses 21kHz on Channel 1 and 18kHz on Channel 2.
