equipment complies with eddy current inspection

standards, in particular weld inspection

the BS 1711:2000 and the ISO 15548_1.

The differentiating features of the UWEC tester

1. Reliable signals: the eddy current signals are

and processed next to the probe, i.e. robust, digital signals

can be transmitted to the surface using w

such as those used for digital serial ROV communication.

This setup ensures that the eddy current signals are

reproducible and are not disturbed by spur

caused by cable configuration, interferences, or cable

deterioration.

2. No compromise on wear: our proprietary design for

weld probe includes a full metal protection of the

contact points.

3. Versatile system: The system can be

inspection and ROV integration, both onshore and

underwater. The integration can be performed by the

customer. Sensima provides support on demand.

both the diver - carrying the tester and manipulating the

probe - and the inspector located on the surface

diver can directly monitor the probe response as displayed

by the Sensima "UPECView" software.

UPECView Acquisition Software

The software provides touch access to all the instrument

and filter settings, but it can be used on a normal PC as

well (Windows 8 or later). You benefit from all the modern

features of windows, such as remote access for

troubleshooting and speech recognition.

No dongle: The UPECView software can be installed on any

PC in your company to perform remote

and assessment.

Presets:Store all instrument and filter settings

inspection tasks and recall themsimply by tapping on a

windows tile.

Reporting: Generate a Microsoft Word and/or HTML

report next to your saved datab. The report contains all the

data processing settings.
