Voliro T NDT Payload Bundles

EMAT (Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer)

The EMAT is ideal for corroded and dirty surfaces, this sensor has a maximal lift-off of 4mm. It complies with ASTM E1816-18 standards and has a range of 2-150mm with an accuracy of 0.04mm.

UT (Ultrasonic Transducer)

The ultrasonic transducer is compliant with EN 12668-1 and ISO 16831:2012.

This sensor offers echo-to-echo and pulsed echo test modes with live A-Scan. It has a thickness range of 4-150mm and a resolution of 0.02us (or 0.06mm at 5900m/s).

DFT (Dry Film Thickness)

The DFT sensor measures the thickness of protective coatings. It uses magnetic induction and eddy current measurement modes, with a range of 0 to 1500um (or 700um).

LPS (Lightning Protection System) Tester

The needle probe on the LPS tester ensures a reliable electrical connection with the lightning receptors, even in the presence of oxidation. The angular-compliant probe is designed to apply a consistent force of 30 N.

PEC (Pulsed Eddy Current) Gauge

The PEC (Pulsed Eddy Current) Gauge is a non-destructive testing (NDT) tool designed for detecting corrosion under insulation (CUI), coatings, and fireproofing on low-carbon steel structures. It enables accurate wall thickness measurements from 3 mm to 20 mm without direct metal contact, making it ideal for inspecting insulated, coated, or hard-to-access assets. With a 100 mm lift-off capability, it detects material loss without requiring insulation removal.
