GE Inspection Technologies Ultrasonics GEInspectionTechnologies.com Digital | Eddy Current | Film | Testing Machines | Ultrasonics | X-ray When thickness measurement is needed. The DMS 2 is suitable for numerous test tasks on components subjected to wear. These include for example: • Tubes, receptacles, tanks in the chemical industry • Complex tube isometries in oil refineries • Austenitic materials, general inspection measurements in power plants • Remaining wall thickness measurement through thick paint coatings and on glass-fiber reinforced ship’s hulls in the shipbuilding industry • Sound attenuating, casted parts in foundries • Varied service and maintenance tasks within the aviation industry • Test objects having large wall thicknesses within the plastics industry Unbeatable – our probes The great variety of applications is made possible by the large selection of probes available for the DMS 2. One special highlight is the series of dialog probes which are automatically recognized by the instrument and ensure optimum setup and improved performance. We are able to offer the right probe for solving even critical test problems under harsh field conditions. A thousand and one applications thanks to a large selection of probes. For example: Reliable measurement at high temperatures. Thickness measurements on hot components are no problem with the DMS 2. We have different dual-element probes in our delivery program allowing to reliably measure components at high temperatures up to 600 °C, including coupling monitoring. For example: Measurement through coatings.

The TopCOAT function of the DMS 2TC helps to measure not only the thickness of the base metal, but at the same time also that of the coating layer. Moreover, you’ll have other possibilities of measuring through coatings at your disposal under certain conditions, e.g. measurement within the echo sequence (Dual-Multi function). For example: Thickness measurement on parts with external corrosion. Special probes with reduced contact face enable you to measure the remaining wall thickness even at points which are normally hardly accessible: on components showing strong pitting or surface roughness due to external corrosion. For example: Thickness measurement with unknown material velocity. Using the Auto-V function, you can now measure components with unknown material velocity – without any previous comparison measurement by mechanical means! Other advantages: measuring errors in the case of material velocity variations due to temperature variations – e.g. with plastic materials – or due to inhomogeneous materials – e.g. grey cast iron – are eliminated; testing reliability therefore increases. © 2009 General Electric Company.
