PRODUCT UPDATES

Major price reduction of the DM5E Thickness Gauge, up to 46%The DM5E series is a solid and dependable ultrasonic thickness gauge. The DM5E has been designed to operate in harsh working environments like Oil & Gas (pipelines, pressure vessels & storage tanks), Petrochemical and Power Generation.

As a Channel Partner of Waygate Technologies, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Products Limited is very excited to announce a permanent drop in the price of the following units:

  • DM5E BASIC INSTRUMENT (022-509-893)

  • DM5E KIT-DA501 (100N3448)

  • DM5E KIT-DA512 (100N4398)

  • DM5E KIT-FH2E (100N4399)

A Great Couplant Just Got Even BetterEchoTherm Extreme™ from Echo Ultranosics, the only no-residue, high-temperature, ultrasonic couplant for use above 805°F (429°C) has been reformulated to increase transmission performance up to 1250°F (675°C). This couplant facilitates high-temperature inspections that were previously impossible. It removes the industrial accident liability, personnel risk and ‘startle’ factor of unanticipated auto-ignition events when conducting high-temperature ultrasonic inspections. It is the ideal couplant for inspection ports due to:

•No auto-ignition under 1300°F,•No minimum operating temperature.

EchoTherm Extreme™ does not contain plastic to melt before conducting sound for:

•Instant response time,•Increased testing-efficiency,•Reduced time transducers are exposed to high temperatures.

COMPANY NEWS

A new brand for Inspection Technologies: The Waygate Technologies Story

The inspection technologies business of Baker Hughes Digital Solutions introduced a new name, logo and website on January 28, 2020. The former GE Inspection Technologies (GEIT) is now called Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes business. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Products Limited is proud to continue to be a channel partner of Waygate Technologies. We will continue to offer a broad portfolio of industrial inspection solutions – including radiography and computed tomography (CT), ultrasound and eddy current technologies that ensure quality, safety and productivity for the customer.

Waygate Technologies brings  in together more than 125 years of experience and the rich expertise and heritage of its strong legacy names such as Krautkrämer, phoenix|x-ray, Seifert, Everest and Agfa NDT technologies, as well as the unrivalled precision and quality of German engineering.

The new brand name signifies two things. The term “Way” refers to a new direction for manufacturing and quality control. The term “Gate” describes the role Waygate Technologies plays in meeting the quality standards as an inspection checkpoint.

The new logo shows advanced 3D inspection in an abstract way. It implies both the scanning of a 3D cube as well as the three key technologies used for NDT inspection – radiography, computed tomography and ultrasound.
