The Sonemat PR5020 is an advanced pulser-receiver system that combines broadband pulse capabilities with additional amplification and noise reduction circuits, providing unmatched clarity for pulse-echo EMAT inspections in challenging environments. Designed for use in non-destructive testing (NDT) across sectors like energy, petrochemical, and manufacturing, this versatile unit is ideal for material characterization, flaw detection, and thickness gauging, even through dense or highly attenuative materials.

Key Advantages and Features:

    • Enhanced Broadband Pulse: Generates a high-voltage spike pulse (~400V) with a full bandwidth of 500 kHz to 15 MHz, featuring an added +20 dB amplification, delivering superior signal detection through thick or challenging materials.
    • Advanced Signal Averaging: Equipped with averaging circuits for improved noise reduction, allowing for high-precision measurements in environments, although the drawback can be an increase in baseline noise - if this is in issue, look at our EMAT Pulser-Receiver PR5000.
    • Robotic System Integration: Available in a bare-board configuration, the PR5020 can be integrated seamlessly into robotic or automated scanning systems for high-efficiency inspections in industrial processes.
    • Flexible Power Options: Operates with either mains power or a rechargeable Li-ion battery pack, offering over 10 hours of continuous operation, making it suitable for both fieldwork and laboratory settings.
    • Versatile Applications: Suited for high-sensitivity NDT tasks, including corrosion monitoring, acoustic birefringence, and defect detection in pipelines, boilers, and critical infrastructure.
 

Applications:

    • Precise thickness gauging and flaw detection in industrial pipelines and storage tanks
    • Corrosion monitoring and defect inspection in boiler tubes and vessels
    • Acoustic birefringence and crystallographic texture analysis
    • Integration in robotic systems for automated NDT processes
