Friedrich Foerster – 1908 ~ 1999.
After the World War II, Foerster’s advanced eddy current and magnetometer systems became available as industrial NDT systems. These systems offered new dimensions for non-destructive measurement both of material properties and the locations and relative sizes of discontinuities. Government research support remained significantly less for eddy current than for other fields of NDT until Friedrich Foerster‘s technology was introduced into the USA.

The introduction by Foerster of sophisticated, stable quantitative test equipment and practical methods for analysis of quantitative test signals on the complex plane were by far the most important factors contributing to the rapid development and acceptance of electromagnetic induction and eddy current tests during the 50’s & 60’s in the US. Foerster is rightly identified as the father of modern eddy current testing, also Receiving Victor deForest Award 1957. His experience before World War II included advanced university education in Physics and a significant introduction in German research institutes to electromagnetic measurements related to the metallurgy and structure of steels and nonferrous metals. During World War II his knowledge was used in naval warfare, particularly with respect to magnetic mines. At the conclusion of the war, after a period of imprisonment by the French, Foerster retrieved his technical reports and, “with the aid of a screw driver and a technician” began further development of electromagnetic test instruments in the upper story of an old inn just a few miles from Reutlingen, the place where he later established the Institute Dr Foerster. For his Probe received the Highest NASA award.

By 1950, he had also developed a precise theory for many basic types of eddy current tests, including both absolute and differential or comparator test systems and probe or fork coil systems used with thin sheets and extended surfaces. Painstaking calibration tests were made with these coil system and with mercury models (in which defects could be simulated by insertion of small pieces of insulators). Each test was confirmed by the precise application of Maxwell’s differential equations for the various boundary conditions involved with coils and test objects, at least for symmetrical cases such as round bars, tubes and flat sheets where such mathematical integrations were feasible.

Further studies were made of the nonlinear response characteristics of Ferro magnetic test objects. Methods using very low test frequencies (5Hz), harmonic signal analysis, comparators at various levels of magnetization, and precise bridge circuits were developed. In most instances, Foerster replaced measurements of the inductance or impedance of test magnetizing coils with the more precise technique of measuring response with unloaded secondary coils coupled to the test materials (the secondary coils coupling with the test material is almost identical to that of the magnetizing coils) The extent and depth of the scientific studies were not matched by any US laboratory, either government sponsored or operated independently. By extensive publications (not initially in the form of US patents, but in open literature), Foerster made the results of this research available to the world of technical personnel. His contribution of almost the entire theory and technology of electromagnetic induction and eddy current test techniques to the first edition of ASNT’s Non-destructive Testing Handbook provided the means for educating thousands of other NDT personnel in the theory, methods, equipment and interpretation of eddy current tests. This integrated presentation was then used throughout the world to up date eddy current test technology.

The unique developments in Foerster’s new laboratory in Reutlingen , Federal Republic of Germany . were made known in the United States not only by those capable of reading his publications (in German) before 1950, but also by missions in which American personnel were sent to Foerster’s laboratory for education and experience with these new forms of test instrumentation. Richard Hochschild, for example made a visit of perhaps six months in Reutlingen. Upon his return, he prepared summary reports which were distributed by the Atomic Energy Commission sponsors of his visit.

In the United States, numerous facilities began research to test these new concepts and instrumentation, including significant efforts at Oak Ridge, Hanford and other facilities. The creative work of Hugo Libby at Hanford, WA, during the past 30 years and that Robert Oliver, Robert McClung, Caius V, Dodd J. A Deeds and others at Oak Ridge TN, were probably sponsored in response to Foerster’s original work.

Even more significant has been the complete transfer of Foerster’s advanced technology to enterprising American firms manufacturing and distributing NDT equipment since 1952. Foerster made his first presentation before an ASNT audience early in the 1950’s after learning aboard ship about five words of English; “Sonny Bob” and “I Love You”. His first personal presentation in the United States was followed by meetings with management at the Magnaflux Corporation, in which the present author served as a technical advisor, explaining Foerster’s designs and discussions. Agreements for licensing under Foerster patents were later concluded, and the basic Foerster instruments were Americanised by the U.S Components and electron tubes by the NDT staff at Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, OH.

During the next few years, increasing amounts of Foerster’s technology were transferred to Magnaflux, whose staff under Glenn L. McClurg became qualified in design and production of Foerster’s various instruments and then marketed these electromagnetic induction test systems throughout the United States. The collaboration between Foerster and Magnaflux lasted perhaps ten years, during which rapid progress was made in both the German laboratory and in the United States.

Upon termination in the 1960’s of the arrangement with Magnaflux, Forester marketed his instruments through the Foerster-Hoover organisation in Ann Arbor.MI, Rudy Hentschel, who was trained in Reutlingen at Institute Dr Foerster, transferred information to this new organization. After a few years, the licensing of Foerster’s instruments to Automation Industries, Inc, resulted in further transfer of technology and marketing throughout a new organization. A later arrangement with Krautkramer Branson repeated the unique educational process.

Since 1948, the name FOERSTER has been synonymous with quality and precision. We develop and produce units and systems for the non-destructive testing of metallic materials, metal detection, and magnetic’s. We operate globally and always in close proximity to our customers thanks to our sales and service network of 10 subsidiaries and qualified representations in over 60 countries.

Advantage for the customer is to have one device with two probes which can be used for
coating thickness measurement but also for Roughness test.

Profile Measurement
Why Measure Surface Profile?

• If profile is too low the adhesion of the coating to the surface will be affected. Too high and the profile peaks may not be coated.
• As profile increases, surface area increases which means more coating is required.
• Achieving correct profile enables the correct amount of coating to be applied thus saving costs.Surface profile measurement according to ASTM 4417-11. Method B. Therefore, profile measurements of the surface by using the probe FPR1 are conform to many standards and guidance. ASTM D4417, Method B, SSPC PA17, AS 3894.5-C, U.S. NAVY NSI 009-32, SANS 5772 & others. 
• Assessment of blasted surfaces whether they are appropriate for painting

Measuring Paint type Coatings on rough surfaces
Irregular surface structures, or “roughness” – as typically found on grey cast iron or sand-blasted steel
complicate the process of measuring the thickness of overlying paint layers. The unevenness of the
substrate’s surface can cause large fluctuations in the measured values. This leads to uncertainties in
the interpretation of the results and makes it difficult to monitor the coating process.

Surface Profile Measurement
To ensure that protective coating layers adhere and are of correct thickness levels.

Electrical conductivity is an important material property that provides information not only about a metal’s ability to conduct electrical currents but also about its composition, micro structure and/or mechanical properties. Using the SIGMASCOPE® SMP350, it is easy and quick to determine the electrical conductivity with precision and accuracy.

GEKKO

Portable Ultrasonic Flaw Detector for Phased Array, TOFD
and Conventional Probes

B-Scan Imaging

Sector Scan and Linear Scan
Phased array probes consist of multiple piezoelectric elements, which can be excited one by one or time-delayed. The sound fi elds of
several elements which form a so-called virtual probe are superimposed. Thus, the resulting sound fi eld can be electronically moved
(linear scan) or swivelled (sector scan). Both longitudinal and transverse waves, but also surface and creeping waves can be generated.
Electronic focusing of the sound fi eld in certain depths or depth ranges permits the indication of B-scans (cross-sectional views per-
pendicular to the surface) with high resolution.

Three-Dimensional Acoustical Imaging (3D-Tomography)

3D-Imaging
By mechanically moving a linear phased array probe (PA probe) many B-scan images are generated and thus a three-dimensional dataset is produced. This dataset can be visualized in the so-called C-scan format (top view of the test object). By moving the vertical cursor within the C-scan the respective B-scan is selected. The vertical cursor in a B-scan is used to select the corresponding A-scan.

ECHOMETER 1076 TC: New Transducer for Hot Surfaces

The new wall thickness transducer DSE 8.3/15- PB 5 HT
from KARL DEUTSCH comprises a delay line made
from special plastics. This material combines essential
properties for this application, like high heat insulation,
low sound attenuation and small temperature effects.

The transducer can be used with the ECHOMETER 1076
TC and copes easily temperatures of 150 °C,
even with prolonged contact. In a measuring range of
2 mm to 25 mm (at a sound velocity of 5920 m/s)
the wall thickness can be measured stable and
reproducible.

Measuring the wall thickness on hot surfaces is always
difficult, since the oscillator material in the transducer is
sensitive to high temperatures. In extreme cases,
this may result in the complete failure of the transducer.
Even though the oscillator element of a wall thickness
transducer generally are mechanically protected by a
delay line of some millimetres length, however, due to
the lack of sufficient heat insulation properties of the
delay line it is not protected by heat induced damage.

Furthermore, in regular delay line materials the
temperature effects are too large to ensure stable
measurements. Materials with a low heat conductivity
typically have high sound attenuation properties, thus
they are not suitable. This, for examples, permits use
of the probe in all cases where the residual wall
thickness of pipes containing hot media needs to be
determined without shutting down operation.

Complying with regulations concerning coating thickness inside storage tanks

Anticorrosion coatings on the interior of storage tanks are critical when storing many types of products,
whether saltwater or freshwater, gasoline, ballast, foamy liquids, or diesel. Typically, regulations are in
place to ensure that the right coating is used. Quality inspection of the coating is an essential part of
compliance with the regulations.

Although there are many such regulations, the Petrobras standard, N-1201:2008 – “Anticorrosion Coatings for the
Interior of Storage Tanks”, is a good example.

A multinational company headquartered in Brazil, Petrobras uses the above-mentioned standard wherever it has
operations. This standard is in the public domain and can be accessed online from their database; it regulates all
painting processes applied to storage tanks, from surface preparation, to painting and coating, through to final
inspection.

The Petrobras standard N-1201:2008 prescribes the following coating types and coating thicknesses for the
different products to be stored, as listed in Table 1:

4.2.1 Coating Type 1

    4.2.1.1 Primer: one layer of epoxy-zinc phosphate paint: 100 μm

    4.2.1.2 Top protective coating: two layers of non-solvent epoxy paint:

                50μm minimum thickness per layer.

4.2.2 Coating Type 2: one layer of zinc-ethyl-silicate paint: 75 μm

4.2.3 Coating Type 3: one layer of non-solvent epoxy resin, cured with

             polyamine and embedded with ceramic or fibreglass: 800 μm

Once they are applied, the coatings need to be inspected – a tricky job, because this is done in place!
The enormous tank still smells sharply of noxious paint fumes as a technician wearing bulky protective gear
and a headlamp (perhaps the only source of light) is lowered into the slippery vessel to measure the coating
thickness at a number of positions. And, since a normal handheld gauge with integrated probe will not work,
as the tank geometry does not permit it in some spots, an external probe is necessary.

FISCHER developed the MP0x-FP products for just such applications performed under difficult conditions. While
other thickness gauges on the market require the use of both hands (one to hold the instrument and the
other for the probe), the wristband accessory is indispensable when the task itself requires some juggling.

Another very practical advantage of the MP0R-FP series is that calibration can be done outside the tank using
FISCHER calibration accessories to maximise accuracy. This procedure only needs a piece of the original tank
material, thus to avoid that the entire calibration procedure has to be performed directly in the tank.

Besides the unmatched accuracy & repeatability of the MP0R-FP series from FISCHER, extra
features like the optional wristband or the easy calibration process make these coating thickness
gauges the ideal choice for checking compliance with regulations like the Petrobras standard;

N-1201:2008.

Electrical conductivity is an important material property that provides information not only about a metal’s ability to conduct electrical currents but also about its composition, micro structure and/or mechanical properties. Using the SIGMASCOPE® SMP350, it is easy and quick to determine the electrical conductivity with precision and accuracy.

Measurement principle

The SIGMASCOPE® SMP350 measures the electrical conductivity using the phase-sensitive eddy current method, which is approved by both DIN EN 2004-1 and ASTM E 1004 for determining conductivity. This kind of signal evaluation allows for contact-free determination
of a substrate’s electrical conductivity, even under paint or plastic coatings up to 500 μm thick. This method also marginalises the influence of surface roughness.

Detection of hairline cracks in bearings for medical devices

All components of medical devices are subject to very stringent safety and quality requirements. For example
is the slide bearing used in precision Xray equipment: The flawless functioning of these bearings depends on,
among other things, the quality of their surfaces. All defects in those surfaces, even the finest hairline
cracks, must be ruled out – this a major challenge during  inspection.

The Bearings, such as those used for the moving X-ray tube are actually gliding on a thin film of liquid. If
the surfaces have any damage at all, perfectly free movement cannot be assured for the service lifetime.

Technically, such cracks near the surface are difficult to detect, as optical inspection methods very quickly
reach their limits with fine hairline cracks. However, measuring the electrical conductivity of the material
provides a simple and quick way to detect even tiny fissures.

This method is very sensitive to structural inconsistencies.

FISCHER’s mobile handheld instrument SIGMASCOPE®

SMP10, used together with the probe ES40, non-destructively measures the electrical conductivity of nonferrous metals
rapidly and precisely using the phase-sensitive eddy current method, which produces exactly the right conditions
required for crack detection.

To check a surface for cracks, the probe ES40 is passed over the surface of the sample in free-running mode. Eddy
currents are formed in the material, which are in turn recorded by the probe and converted to a signal in the
instrument. In the case of the bearings we examined as a test, the conductivity measured was in the range of
18.3 MS/m, with very low variation. Any hairline cracks in the material will hinder the spread of the eddy
currents – even the very finest, optically invisible faults. In practice, when the tested bearings showed a value
of e.g. 14 MS/m, that would clearly indicate that a crack had been found by means of electrical conductivity.

The probe ES40 has a range of measurement frequencies (60-480 kHz), making it suitable for different material
thicknesses. Using a lower measurement frequency results in the eddy current field penetrating deeper into
the sample material.

The measurements on the bearings described above were carried out using the probe’s highest frequency of 480 kHz,
thus looking specifically for damage in the material near the surface. For use on tiny parts, the optional
probe ES24, which has a smaller measuring head than the ES40, is recommended.

Fig.2: SIGMASCOPE® SMP10 to measure the electrical conductivity
by means of the phase-sensitive eddy current method

For the detection of fine hairline cracks in medical X-ray equipment, measuring the electrical conductivity
with the SIGMASCOPE® SMP10 from FISCHER is an excellent solution. And between the two probes
ES40 and ES24, a wide variety of part geometries can be accommodated, completing the ideal system for
this purpose.

coating, through to final compliance inspection.

The Petrobras standard N-1201:2008 prescribes the
following coating types and coating thicknesses for
the different products to be stored, as listed in Table 1:

4.2.1 Coating Type 1
4.2.1.1 Primer: one coat epoxy-zinc phosphate: 100 µm
4.2.1.2 Top coating: two layers of non-solvent epoxy
           paint: 150 µm minimum thickness per layer.

Once they are applied, the coatings need to be inspected – a tricky
job, being insitu! The tank still has noxious paint fumes. The
technician wearing protective gear and headlamp (perhaps the only
source of light) is lowered into the vessel to measure the coating
thickness at a number of positions.

Since a handheld gauge with integrated probe will not work, as most
tank geometry does not permit access it in some spots, an external probe
is necessary.

FISCHER developed the MP0R-FP products for just such applications performed under difficult conditions. While
other thickness gauges on the market require the use of both hands (one to hold the instrument and the other for
the probe), the wristband optional accessory is indispensable when the task itself requires some juggling.

MP0R-FP series calibration can be also be done outside the tank using FISCHER calibration accessories and a
piece of the original tank material, avoiding calibration directly inside the tank.

The unmatched accuracy and repeatability performance of the MP0R-FP series from FISCHER make the ideal choice
for checking compliance with regulations.

The New MAGNETOSCOP 1.070 from Institute Dr Foerster offers the high-precision measurement of magnetic flux density as an absolute or gradient value as well as the determination of the relative permeability μr for feebly magnetic materials.

A variety of sensors provide the best possible adaptation to your measuring tasks.

High sampling rates, pre-configured measuring procedures, application optimized visualization and multiple data interfaces – support your work.

A comprehensive application software- for data processing and analysis on your PC – complements the user-friendly scope of supply.

MAGNETOSCOP 1.070 and sensors are calibrated traceable to national standards of the PTB Braunschweig-Germany.

Foerster is recently observing an increase in applications with the highly alloyed material “zircaloy”.

This material is used, amongst others, for the production of nozzles, pump components or valves. Furthermore, it can be also used for fuel rods in water-cooled nuclear reactors. Especially in this application, the requirements for processing and handling as well as defect detectability are extremely high.

As a consequence, the demands on our test electronics are also increasing since the zircaloy material requires a high test frequency of 3 MHz.

Our CIRCOGRAPH DS can meet these increased demands, but with the CIRCOGRAPH CI/DI, we reach the limits of the test electronics.

Therefore, this specific test application of 3 MHz will be only offered in combination with the CIRCOGRAPH DS.

MAGNETOSCOP 1.070 – PERMEABILITY MEASUREMENT

Theoretical Background

The magnetic induction of material is described by: B = μ * H

The permeability μ corresponds to the steepness of the hysteresis and describes how good ferromagnetic material can be magnetized by an external field H. To characterize material, it is common to refer to the steepness of the so called initial magnetizing curve starting from the demagnetized state of the material.

The permeability μ can also be described as multiple of the physical constant μ0 which is the permeability of vacuum. The factor μr is called relative permeability.

B = μ0 * μr * H μ0 = 4π*10-7

1. μr = 1.0 describes non-magnetic material

2. μr > 1.0 describes feebly magnetic material

3. μr >> 1.0 describes material, easy to magnetize

From the shape of the initial magnetization curve it is obvious, that the permeability is not a material constant, it is strongly depending on the magnetic field H.

This circumstance is most important when referencing a measurement or comparing measuring results and will be explained over leaf.

Applications

Practical industrial applications for permeability measurement are:

• Proof quality and non-magnetic property of austenitic steel and special alloys (Cu, Al, …)
• Proof non magnetic property of austenitic drill collars for directional drilling
• Proof non-magnetic property of components for integration into:
  - MRI systems
  - Particle accelerators
  - Electron beam devices
  - Controlled magnetic environment
• Proof non-magnetic property of implants

Measurement Method

• Permeability Meter Method – Flux Distortion Method This method is using the FOERSTER Permeability Probe. It is an appropriate measurement technique for the permeability measurement of feebly magnetic material. It is based a correlation between relative permeability μr and the flux distortion of a permanent magnet caused by the test material. It is a suitable method for industrial test applications of different sample geometries and sizes.

Traceability to National Standards

The Solenoid/Magnetic Moment Method is the “master-method” used by the national institutes to define national reference standards. These “primary reference standards” are used by FOERSTER to reference the Permeability Meter Method when operating the FOERSTER Permeability Probe. They are also used to reference the “secondary reference standards” which are distributed as part of the MAGNETOSCOP Permeability Measuring Kit.

The measurement with MAGNETOSCOP 1.070 and permeability probe PP-2-5 including the 1.070 Reference Standards is traceable to National German Standards of the PTB Braunschweig.

Optional Permeability probes;

For further inspection purposes like, the detection of smaller in-homogeneities & for comparison procedures the smaller Permeability Probe PP-2-2 may sometimes be more suitable.

ECHOGRAPH 1095

As known, with the aid of the Residual Field Indicator the residual magnetism in a work piece can be checked e.g. after magnetic particle crack detection. Also the position and polarity of magnetic poles can be identified. Residual Field Indicators are very sensitive against small changes of a magnetic field. Therefore, they are best suited for comparative measurements, e.g. in order to distinguish between sufficiently and insufficiently demagnetized parts.

Description: A small magnet, to which an external magnetic field exerts a torque, is mounted onto the revolving axis of the instruments pointer. Another magnet inside the housing keeps the pointer in zero position as long as no external magnetic field is present. The magnetic field intensity is measured at the movement staff location, i.e. on the axis where the revolving magnet is mounted: 16 mm apart from front and rear side of the housing. The axis of the pointer is 16 mm apart from the bottom side of the housing, where the “TEST” mark indicates the edge which should be in contact with a work piece when using the Residual Field Indicator. One end of the pointer axis is visible through the glass.

The Residual Field Indicator is equipped with two scales. The upper black scale reads directly in gauss of a uniform magnetic field oriented parallel with the centreline of the instrument scale and the “TEST” arrow. The lower red scale is used in determining the magnitude and direction of an unknown magnetic field by merely orienting the instrument for maximum reading. At such a maximum reading the direction of the field is parallel with the instrument pointer and the magnitude can be read in gauss on the red scale.

A (+) deflection of the pointer indicates the TEST edge of the Residual Field Indicator has been presented to a magnetic North pole, a (-) deflection, that is has been presented to a magnetic South pole. (Hint for the earth magnetic field: The geographical North pole is from the magnetic point of view a South pole.)

Available in Ranges of:

-5~0~+5 Gauss

-10~0~+10 Gauss

-20~0~+20 Gauss

-50~0~+50 Gauss

-100~0~+100 Gauss

The new ECHOGRAPH 1095 offers the possibility to record LINE CHARTS, B-SCANS and to perform TOFD INSPECTIONS by connecting an encoder. Typically techniques only found on phased array flaw detectors, like the Gekko

Traditionally, ultrasonic testing is performed by recording an A-scan, showing the echo amplitude as a function of the sound path travel time. The result strongly depends on the inspector’s qualification and skills. Geometry indications could be misinterpreted as flaws and a brief moment of inattentiveness is enough for an indication to slip through. Here the B-Scan can help, especially with difficult inspections. Therefore an encoder is connected to the probe, see figure 1.

Solutions are, for example, hand scanners with roller probes. With the encoder, the ECHOGRAPH 1095 is able to assign an A-scan to the respective position in the test volume. While moving the probe linearly, an A-scan is recorded. for each position and plotted in the B-scan against the scan path. Thereby, the A-scan is colour-coded, this means large echo amplitudes are coloured red, while small amplitudes are marked in dark blue, see figure 2.

In addition to the determination of amplitude and depth of an indication, as in the A-scan, the B-scan offers the possibility to laterally size an indication. Since the dynamic of an echo along the scan path can be evaluated in the B-scan, the interpretation of a B-scan is also much easier than that of an A-scan. Additionally, the B-scan is suited for a clear documentation of the inspection.

In case of weld testing with an angle probe the half-width for lack of fusions and shrink-holes can be sized exactly. Another example would be the capturing of the half-width of a lamination during sheet metal testing with a straight-beam probe.

Often the dynamic of a measured value is interesting, e.g. wall thickness, echo amplitude, sound path or velocity. With an encoder and the new data logger, the ECHOGRAPH 1095 is able to record the dynamic and displays it in a line chart for further analysis, see figure 3.

For weld inspection with the Time-of-Flight (TOFD) technique, also B-scans are recorded. The TOFD technique uses two broadband angle probes,  which emit very short and divergent ultrasonic pulses, one of which acts as a transmitter, while the other is the receiver. Since both probes have to be moved in parallel and synchronously, they have to be fixed in a scanner comprising an encoder, see figure 4.

The ultrasonic pulse travels on various paths from the transmitter to the receiver. The lateral wave travels the shortest path along the surface, while the longest path is a V-reflection from the back wall.

Discontinuities between surface and back wall create additional signals through diffraction at the crack tips. The TOFD test results are provided in a grey scaled B-scan, formed from A-scans between lateral wave and back wall reflection. From the diffraction signals in the TOFD scan the depth, extent and length of indications can be determined with high precision.

New Application Probes

 A: This pipe with severe corrosion and pitting on the inner surface is a particular challenge. It is difficult to get a back wall echo at all, since the inner surface is rough and the pitting does not provide a flat back wall. Typically TR-transducers are used for this application. They comprise two acoustically separated elements, one of which acts as a transmitter, while the other acts as a receiver. Both are mounted on a roof-shaped delay line, creating a very sensitive region close to the surface of the test piece, depending on the roof angle. The sound beam from these transducers does not enter the material perpendicularly anymore, but at a small angle.

This causes incorrect results for the measurement, which can easily be corrected by a simple multi-point calibration of the ECHOMETER 1077. With the TR-probe DSE 4.2/4 PB 10 MHz, it is possible to get an echo in the A-scan with the correct wall thickness.

 B is made of 250μm thick stainless steel. For this task a high frequency transducer with large bandwidth and delay line is needed. Using a transducer with a delay line minimizes the dead zone due to saturation effects.

Then, the very short echoes of the back wall echo series (BE-BE-Mode) can be evaluated to determine the wall thickness.

In this mode, it makes no difference if the test piece is coated or not.

The transducer SDS 3 PB 6-16 MHz was used. It has an element diameter of 3 mm and enables the testing of wall thicknesses down to 150 μm in steel. Due to its small diameter, this transducer is especially well suited for small contact areas.

C: The component is made of a plastic with a high ultrasound attenuation and a significant wall thickness. For this task one chooses a low-frequency contact transducer, like the DS 12 HB 0.3-3 MHz, with an element diameter of 12 mm. Combined with the low-frequency version of the ECHOMETER 1077 it is even possible to observe a series of back wall echoes from this component.

ECHOGRAPH 1095 – From Karl Deutsch of Germany

High-tech meets comfort: Ultrasonic Testing made simple

The new digital ultrasonic ECHOGRAPH 1095 now features time corrected gain (TCG) and back wall echo attenuation (BEA). The time corrected gain raises the gain with the ultrasonic sound path. Back wall echo attenuation uses a separate gain for measurements within a third monitor, thus making it possible to display the full back wall echo in an A-scan and thus take it into account for inspections even at high gain.

The extended memory functions can be flexibly used for corrosion testing (matrix memory), measurement series and individual measurements. All kinds of data, e.g. screenshots in BMP format or measurement series in CSV format, are stored on an 8 GB SD memory card for convenient data export. Connected to a PC via USB cable the ECHOGRAPH 1095 acts as an external drive. All pictures and data files can easily be opened within standard office software or within the KARL DEUTSCH software “eCom 95 pro” on the desktop.

To facilitate testing under difficult conditions, all 3 monitors can still be moved while the rest of the screen is frozen. Therefore data analysis and recording have the flexibility to be adjusted to the requirements after the actual measurement. This even works with amplitude evaluation methods, such as DAC, DGS, AWS and JIS. For most convenient handling and readability the new testing device features a large 7”-TFT colour display with an 800 x 480 pixel resolution.

A further innovation is the continuously adjustable 320 V square wave pulsar. The pulse width is automatically adjusted to the probe frequency when the probe parameters are loaded.

There are applications requiring the knowledge of cast iron nodularity, or its deviation from a reference value.

The nodularity is defined as the relation between the nodular graphite and the total graphite content. This value affects the cast iron properties to a great extent. A nodularity value of 100% signifies that the total graphite content exists as nodular graphite. The nodularity value controls the elastic properties and the tensile strength of cast iron. In general, the strength increases if the nodularity value increases as well.

A typical example for the utilization of nodular cast iron (abbreviation SGCI) is the well-known Castor container for the transport and storage of radioactive materials.

Ultrasonic testing offers the possibility to determine the material quality non-destructively by measuring the sound velocity.

In each case, the sound velocities are different for iron casting, nodular casting and casting with lamellar graphite. Thus, the determination of sound velocity turns out to be a fair method

to determine the nodularity.

However, the sound velocity does not only depend on the percentage of the nodular graphite but also on the alloy composition, the total graphite content, the manufacturing process and the grain structure.

To achieve a reliable statement on the value of nodularity, ideally the KARL DEUTSCH instrument ECHOMETER 1076 can be utilized since it is designed to measure wall thickness and sound velocity.

First of all the nominal value needs to be determined by means of a reference block, made from the same material as the material under test with identical material properties.

For the determination of the sound velocity the thickness of the object must be known as precisely as possible. For this  purpose a digital calliper can be used which provides an interface for direct transfer of the thickness data to the gauge.

Areas of parts where a correct nodularity is essential need to be examined with special care. Upper and lower tolerance values can be adjusted with the ECHOMETER, thus enabling a comfortable, reliable and fast tracing of the quality. The tolerance range either may be defined empirically or by measuring the sound velocity of casted samples with defined maximum and minimum properties.

Measurement of the a’-martensite content

with the Feritscope®

Abstract :

Our Feritscope probes measure the d’-ferrite content of austenitic stainless steel and duplex ferritic-austenitic stainless steel (delta-ferrite percent and ferrite number, respectively). However these probes can also be applied to measure the strain induced a’-martensite content of austenitic stainless steel. A respective paper has been published dealing with the conversion between d’-ferrite content and a’-martensite content.

The Feritscope-probes (EGAB1.3-Fe, FGAB1.3-Fe, FGA06H-Fe, …) are calibrated to measure the d’-ferrite content of austenitic stainless steel and duplex ferritic-austenitic stainless steel (delta-ferrite percent and ferrite number, respectively). A typical group of material measured to determine exclusively the d’-ferrite content are weld metals. This calibration is traceable to TWI secondary standards.

However many customers are also interested in the strain induced a’-martensite content as a result e.g. of plastic deformation of metastable austenitic stainless steel. But the a’-martensite phase shows a different permeability than the d’-ferrite phase. Consequently our original manufacturer calibration is wrong in this application. A paper has been published investigating the relationship between the Feritscope readings and the actual a’-martensite content. This relationship has been proved with different measurement techniques. The respective Feritscope readings F (delta-ferrite %) can be converted to the a’-martensite content ca’ with the following simple linear equation :

c (mass%) = 1.7 × F a ‘

This result should be very helpful for many new applications if the steel of interest only contains the a’-martensite phase and the customer doesn’t have his own reference standards for a new calibration. The conversion factor 1.7 could be easily implemented in the software at request.

The following paper can be used as a reference (a copy can be provided at request) :

FEREX®. The renowned vertical gradient fluxgate magnetometer that measures the deformation of the earth’s magnetic field evoked by ferromagnetic objects. The FEREX® Magnetometers are suitable for the detection of ferromagnetic metals like iron, steel or nickel. Normally the detection depth of FEREX® magnetometers is larger compared to active EMI detectors but it varies and depends on the object’s mass and its magnetic properties. The FEREX 4.032 DLG® can be used either in the direct indicating FEREX® mode or in the data logging mode. Four data logging channels allow the expansion of the FEREX 4.032 DLG® to a multi probe system for large area detection. Furthermore it can be upgraded to the FEREX 4.032 DLG Karto® model which comes with a GPS-interface for geo-referencing and navigation.

Weather resistance of sealed anodised Coatings

Aluminium is often used for architecturally pleasing building façades and other structures exposed to weathering influences. Lightweight and fairly easy to work, it is also durable and requires little to no maintenance over the long term when effectively protected by an anodised coating. But to ensure the reliability of the corrosion protection, the sealing of the coating must be verified.

Pure aluminium is highly susceptible to corrosion. However, in contrast to iron, it naturally forms a corrosion-inhibiting layer on its surface when it comes into contact with oxygen, which preserves it very well under normal environmental conditions: When this protective oxide layer is scratched away it is quickly replenished upon renewed exposure to oxygen.

Nonetheless, for many applications, especially out-ofdoors, this natural protection does not suffice because even the smallest entrapment of heavy metals can prevent the formation of a seamless oxide layer, allowing corrosion to get in and cause damage.

In order to improve on the natural oxide film, an electrolytic passivation process called anodic oxidation, or anodising, is often used. In an acid bath, oxygen released by an electrical current immediately reacts with the aluminum. It forms two oxide layers: a very thin insulating film (barrier layer) directly on the metal and, above that, a thicker, porous layer. Due to its microporous structure, the outer layer is vulnerable to contamination, requiring a post-treatment (hydration) that expands the coating and causes the pore walls to swell and close off at the surface (sealing).

Although the ultimate quality of the sealing depends on a variety of factors including the condition of the oxide layer, the hydration time, the sealing bath temperature, the pH value of the solution, etc., it can be examined simply and non-destructively by measuring the electrical admittance (Y). Using FISCHER’s handheld ANOTEST® YMP30-S instrument, the coating’s admittance can be determined in situ according to standards such as DIN EN ISO12373-5 and ASTM B 457-67. An electronic reference is also available for cross-verification of the instrument.

With the ANOTEST® YMP30-S, the sealing of anodised aluminium can be tested by measuring its electrical admittance. This makes it possible to determine the corrosion resistance of façades and other aluminium components exposed to weathering influences.

FOERSTER MULTICAT is the high-performance, economical trailer vehicle for large-area detection, localisation, identification and mapping of ferromagnetic historical burdens and UXO (= Unexploded Ordinance).

Restoration of contaminated ground areas is increasing continually in importance. Freeing such areas from historical burdens, some of them of military origin in the form of ammunition and ammunition components, takes up an essential share of the overall effort involved in re-cultivation.

For these reasons, FOERSTER has developed its MULTICAT which can be used efficiently in three main fields of application:

• Localising and mapping unexploded ammunitions and ammunition components (UXO)
• Quality control in combination with a mine-clearing hoe, involving automatic localisation of undetonated or inadequately shattered ferromagnetic mines and UXO
• Quality control and documentation after clearance.
