EMAT Adaptor GS2020
The Sonemat GS2020 EMAT Adaptor bridges the gap between cutting-edge non-contact EMAT (Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer) technology and existing piezoelectric UT flaw detection systems. This adaptor delivers superior signal clarity with advanced noise reduction, automatic gain control, and compatibility across most industry-standard flaw detectors. With the GS2020, NDT inspectors gain enhanced performance for pulse-echo flaw detection and precision thickness measurements on challenging materials—all without costly equipment overhauls.

The Sonemat EMAT Adaptor GS2020 provides a powerful, cost-effective solution for non-destructive testing (NDT) professionals seeking to leverage EMAT technology without replacing their existing piezoelectric systems. Ideal for industries such as oil and gas, energy, and manufacturing, this adaptor enhances flaw detection capabilities, especially in difficult-to-inspect materials like ferritic and austenitic steel.
How It Works and Key Benefits:
-
- Enhanced Signal-to-Noise Ratio: The GS2020 includes low-power averaging electronics to dramatically improve signal clarity, making it easier to detect flaws or gauge thickness accurately, even in noisy environments.
- Automatic Gain Control (AGC): This feature maintains optimal sensitivity and inspection speed, eliminating the need for manual gain adjustments or stand-off adjustments, enabling seamless and faster testing processes.
- Compatibility and Versatility: Compatible with nearly all standard flaw detectors, the GS2020 allows inspectors to easily integrate it into their existing equipment setup, whether for oxide-coated ferritic steel or, under certain conditions, austenitic stainless steel.
- Practical Design: Lightweight and durable, the GS2020 operates with a simple 4x AA battery configuration, offering a 12-hour battery life for extended field use. The compact design and LEMO 00 coaxial connections further add to its adaptability and ease of use.
Applications:
-
-
- Industrial inspection and plant maintenance
- Pipeline integrity testing
- Corrosion and thickness monitoring
