WECLIP - Wheel Encoded Caliper Location Inspection Scanner

Request Info Flange Scanner Brochure
The Wheel Encoded Caliper Location Inspection for Phased Array (WECLIP) scanner uses wheel encoded technology to accurately and quickly inspect butt welds on pipe ranging from 1.5 inch to 6 inch diameter.

This versatile scanner has a small footprint making it ideal for use in tight spots. The scanner can be used with single or double probe/wedge combinations for scanning both sides of the weld with one pass.

Fully adjustable probe/wedge positions allows for easy adjustment for different size welds.

Independent suspension of the probe heads keeps the scanner accurately positioned and in positive surface contact regardless of irregularities in pipe shape from one side of the weld to the other.

An integrated wheel encoder combined with a center contact wheel provides smooth operation and pin sharp lineal position feedback for results you can trust on the first pass.

Available with an optional guide collar where repeatable results are required in relation to weld type on similar pipe size scanning.

The WECLIP is lightweight, easy to mount and delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable scanning as well as being adaptable for work with different probe combinations and UT instruments.

Also available with attachments ideally suited to the new realm of plastic pipe inspection.

Eclipse Scientific works with service companies and in-house inspection divisions to provide all the support required to ensure the effective and profitable execution of the inspection.  Purchasing, or development and fabrication of the inspection device is no guarantee that the product will provide the desired results.  By ensuring successful delivery of the inspection, and by including training, procedures and techniques, we work to achieve the real objectives, delivery of results and effective reporting of the findings. 

The solution package comes with a comprehensive user’s guide and supporting material.  Development of the performance demonstration samples, structured training and effective refresher Power Point material helps ensure autonomy once the equipment is on the plant floor or at the remote construction/production site.  Successful implementation of the developed solution takes more planning but the rewards can justify the extra effort.  Profitability and the benefits of modern technology through automation and innovation need to be considered at the start of the program.
