TRITON BFET

Multi-Channel NDT System for Crack

Detection in Welds/Base Metals
TesTex Introduces one of the most innovative
systems for the detection of both surface and
sub-surface cracks in welds and base metals.
Balanced Field Electromagnetic Technique
(BFET) probes can be created to fit almost any
application. Curved, flat, or welded surfaces
can be quickly evaluated even through
paints and coatings.
This system is based
on the principles
of electromagnetic
methods and
replaces the old
and laborious
methods such as
vacuum box, dye
penetrate, and mag particle inspection. Unlike
UT, the system does not demand a clean sur- Technical Specifications:
face and is forgiving to scale and corrosion.
Electronics
With scanning speeds up to 1 ft. / second, the █ Technique: Balance Field Electromagnetic Technique
system is fast, accurate, and cost efficient.
(BFET)
Additionally, with a proper calibration standard █ Dimensions:
the system can be used to size cracks. 8.75" (222.3 mm) L x 8.25" (209.6 mm) W x 3" (76.2 mm) H
System Details: █ Weight: 4.25 lbs. (1.9 kg)

█ Connectivity: USB 2.0 link to laptop

█ Crack detection to a depth of up to 3/8" (9.5 mm)
█ Power: 100 - 240 VAC, 47 - 63 Hz, 1.5 - 0.6 A to
below the surface
█ Paints / coatings and corrosive products have no
12 VDC adapter, or 14.8 VDC/10 Ah Lithium Polymer
(10 hour charge life)
impact on flaw signal
█ Frequency Range: 100 Hz to 7.5 KHz
█ Requires only minimum surface preparation
█ Channels: up to 8 channels
█ Unlike UT, requires no couplant; dry contact method

█ Testing speeds from a few inches/sec up to 1 ft./second

█ Elimination of liftoff / noise signals with special algorithm

█ Probes/scanners with various profiles to fit the weld

outlines of lap, butt, fillet, tee, etc.

█ Deep penetration scanners available

█ Scanner arrays available for high resolution imaging

with greater coverage

█ Real time display of flaws

█ Signals are digitized and stored for future trending

purposes
