Compact Shear Wave EMAT
£650
Key Advantages and Features:
-
- High-Performance Shear Wave Generation: Delivers clear and accurate shear waves with peak energy around 3-5 MHz, ideal for non-destructive testing of various materials.
- Compact and Robust Design: Smaller and lighter than traditional shear wave EMATs, the HWS3515-GC is perfect for applications requiring portability and ease of use.
- Non-Contact and Couplant-Free: Operates without couplants, maintaining excellent performance even on rough or uneven surfaces, simplifying field and lab testing.
- Broad Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with Sonemat’s GS2020, PR5000, and PR5020 electronics for both pulse-echo and pitch-catch configurations, enhancing testing flexibility.
Applications:
-
- Thickness gauging and flaw detection in energy, oil and gas pipelines
- Corrosion monitoring and defect detection in industrial tanks and vessels
- Acoustic birefringence and crystallographic texture analysis
- Non-contact inspection of boiler tubes and high-stress industrial components

High Temperature EMAT – 550°C
The HWS2220-VC High Temperature EMAT is designed for non-contact shear wave inspections on components up to 550°C without cooling. Utilising a magnetostrictive mechanism, this EMAT generates radially polarised bulk shear waves with robust signal strength on magnetic and magnetostrictive materials, making it ideal for applications in extreme environments such as energy generation, petrochemical, and oil and gas. Compatible with Sonemat’s GS2020, PR5000, and PR5020 systems, it is optimised for thickness gauging, flaw detection, and material analysis.
High Temperature EMAT – 200°C
The HWS2225-HT High Temperature EMAT is a robust shear wave transducer designed for pulse-echo inspections on conductive and magnetic components up to 200°C. Featuring a radially polarised design with a 3-5 MHz broadband frequency range, this EMAT operates without active cooling and provides consistent, non-contact performance, making it ideal for thickness gauging, flaw detection, and material analysis in industrial settings. Compatible with Sonemat’s GS2020, PR5000, and PR5020 systems, it is an essential tool for high-temperature NDT applications.
Water-cooled EMAT – 1000°C
The HWS2235-WCT is a high-temperature, water-cooled shear wave EMAT engineered for non-destructive testing on components reaching up to 1000°C. Featuring water-cooling to maintain optimal signal, this radially polarised EMAT is ideal for applications requiring pulse-echo testing on hot metallic and magnetic surfaces. Compatible with Sonemat’s GS2020, PR5000, and PR5020 systems, the HWS2235-WCT is a reliable solution for precise, high-temperature inspections across energy, petrochemical, and industrial sectors.
