PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

Z-200 C+ LIBS Analyzer

The world s only handheld analyzer that delivers carbon content in
stainless, steels and cast irons yes even L-grades.

The Z-200 C+ is a dedicated analyzer for alloy analysis including carbon

content. It analyzes carbon content in stainless, down to 0.007 ppm, for
dependable separation of L and H grades. The C+ also analyzes carbon
steels, including carbon equivalents (CE) for weldability. The analyzer is
available in two versions. The Z-200 C comes with iron-base calibrations
including carbon. The Z-200 C+ includes both iron and stainless bases and
carbon. Additional bases may be added at time of purchase or any later
date. Following in the tradition of our defy obsolescence principle, any Z-
200 or Z-200 C may be upgraded to the Z-200 C+ at any time for the price
difference.

The Z uses the technique laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS),

which has many similarities to spark OES. LIBS has been an established
laboratory technique for 20+ years. It res a pulsed laser at the material to
create a plasma, instead of a continuous electric spark like spark OES. Light
from the plasma is measured with an on-board spectrometer to determine
individual wavelengths and thus what elements are present. The elemental
content is quanti ed via onboard calibrations.

High resolution is critical. The Z-200 C+ is equipped with a dedicated third

spectrometer optimized for the best wavelength resolution around the
carbon line. Due to the many nearby iron lines, resolution better than 0.080
nm is a must. Powerful laser onboard argon purge high resolution
spectrometer. It s the key to rock solid, in- eld carbon analysis for alloys.

They have a hard wear face which will eventually wear down. The gauge will
automatically “Zero” the probe to compensate for wear (until there is excessive wear
when the probe should be replaced). The gauge will indicate when the probe needs

SONOCHEK is a digital ultrasonic
testing device to detect inaudible
waves and frequencies in the air or in a
metal machine frame. It is primarily
used to detect leaks in any industrial air
and gas pressure pipes and vacuum
systems. Leaks of compressed air and
gas systems in particular can be very
costly because more energy needs to be
produced to compensate for the loss.

Its detecting range reaches from 20 up

to 100 kHz. These frequencies are
inaudible to human ears, but
SONOCHEK can detect them and make
them audible and visible, while
specifying the leak and evaluating the
total amount of loss, all of which can be
combined in a full report. An integrated
camera and microphone enable the
engineer to comment on his indings

Axle Bore Scanner - Inspection: Train Hollow Axles

The Axle Bore scanner incorporates
interchangeable probe lance heads
containing two single crystal ultrasonic
shear wave transducers orientated
forwards and backwards in the axial
direction and a zero degree compression
probe contoured to suit the bore diameter
(probe head diameters determine the
number of probes that can be
incorporated). The transducers are
spring‐loaded onto the bore surface and
with gimballing that allow the probes to
take up any variation on the inner surface.
Integrated tubing also ensures adequate
couplant is supplied to the interface
b e t we e n t h e t ra n s d u c e r s a n d t h e
inspection surface. The probe lance
features a series of axial supports to assist
with stability and durability. Both the
probe heads and lances are
interchangeable and can be disconnected
from the scanner for the inspection of
varying bore diameters or for manual
operation of the system......

REDRESS PROJECT COMPLETES SUCCESSFULLY

A collaborative project, between TWI Ltd, Ionix Advanced

Technologies (Ionix), Precision Acoustics Limited (PAL) and
University of Shef ield (UoS), towards developing and manufacturing
radiation resilient ultrasonic sensors (reDRESS) has been completed
with high praise from the project's funding body, InnovateUK.

The goal of the reDRESS project was to construct a reliable ultrasonic
