Bracelet

The Bracelet scanner is a low profile, small bore pipe scanner for use with ultrasonic phased array or TOFD probes. It can be configured to inspect pipes ranging from 0.5” to 8” nominal pipe size (NPS).The innovative design allows for speedy set ups between this range. The scanner is compatible with a range of industry standard small phased array probes and instruments. The Bracelet can hold either one probe for single–sided inspection or be linked with a second probe for dual-sided inspections.

Utrasonic Bracelet Scanners

This manually operated belt scanner is the ultimate scanning aid for phased array inspection of circumferential welds in small bore pipework. This lightweight and low-profile scanner is extremely simple to set up and use for weld testing on pipe sizes from 0.5” to 12”.

The Bracelet is compatible with industry standard miniature phased array transducers and is designed to be used in areas of limited access with a scanner height of 13mm.

The Bracelet scanner has been optimised for testing circumferential welds in small bore pipework with ultrasonic phased array transducers. The design meets the requirements of the application in its size, its simplicity, and its function.

The Bracelet scanner has a radial height from the pipe surface of only 13mm and can be fed around the pipe past neighbouring obstructions to provide 360°inspection when only half the pipe is accessible. The scanner incorporates a miniature encoder so the data can be recorded referenced to its location around the pipe.

Features

For phased array or TOFD inspections
Scans pipes ranging from 0.5″ to 8″ NPS
Single or dual probe options
Rubber wheels provide smooth circumferential movement around pipe
Probes and wedges are easily inter-changeable
Miniature sealed encoder provides 42 steps/mm
Compatible with industry standard phased array probes and flaw detectors

It is quick and easy to attach the Bracelet to the pipe using a hook and loop strap to secure it in position. Similarly it is very easy to add or remove links to the belt for resizing the scanner to use on different pipe diameters. The rubber coated wheels provide the Bracelet with excellent axial grip to prevent unwanted slipping.
