      <description><![CDATA[Advanced Inspection Technologies (AIT) has introduced the PILIT&amp;trade; industrial push camera. The 32-lb. camera inspects pipelines up to 200 ft. long and industrial lines as small as 1.0 in. in diameter.Since it is an integrated system, the user does not have to carry two separate components to the job site. Interchangeable camera heads of 1.0 and 1.37 in. dia. allow inspection of numerous pipeline diameters. The camera uses AC or DC power with up to three hours of battery operation.The camera features stainless steel construction, a 60-gigabyte hard drive that allows USB transfer of inspection files, and a 7-in. LCD monitor with minikeyboard.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The Envirosight Agilios&amp;trade; is a self-leveling pan/tilt camera that captures detail from side walls and distant targets alike. Dimmable, shadowless illumination helps improve viewing on the joystick pendant's integral 800- by 600-pixel display.The camera measures 3 in. in diameter, suitable for inspecting past multiple 90-degree bends in pipe measuring 3.5 in. and larger. It carries a 1-bar pressure rating and is made of stainless steel. The welded, wheeled aluminum frame holds 100, 200, or 300 ft. of push rod and includes padded storage for the pendant during transit.MPEG video and JPG images are saved on an internal hard disk, removable USB thumb drive, or Xpress card. Digital connectivity includes USB 2.0 and Ethernet ports, plus BlueTooth for audio narration with a wireless headset.An integral multifrequency sonde facilitates locating the camera from above ground. Also included are an onboard text generator, distance measurement, and a rechargeable battery.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[TechMatrix LLC, St. Paul, Minn., has added vision capabilities to its WeldWorks Software Suite.The vision kit includes a gas shock articulating arm to easily position the USB color camera, zoom lens, and integrated LED light to the desired position.  The system displays a large, live video image within the WeldWorks application, which enables the operator to see small features.  The kit automatically captures pre-weld and post-weld images and allows the user to snap additional images in the event of weld failure. Images, weld data, waveforms, and part information are all stored in a central database.  Optional Cognex VisionPro software is available for advanced gauging applications.The vision kit also allows users to upload destructive test images from any source.]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.thefabricator.com/product/weldinginspection/device-tests-longitudinal-strength-of-flange-to-pipe-welds</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[EST has introduced the Reverse Pressure GripTight (RPGT) for testing the longitudinal strength of flange-to-pipe welds. By isolating the area between a test flange and the test plug, the flange-to-pipe weld is subjected to radial and longitudinal stresses equivalent to the stresses that would be produced when using a test blind to pressurize the entire piping system.According to the company, pressure testing flange-to-pipe welds with the test plug eliminates the need to blind, fill, and pressurize the entire pipe system. Standard plugs allow testing to pressure up to 2,250 PSI, which covers ANSI 600# class and lower. Plugs are available in sizes 2 to 12 in., with larger plug sizes and higher pressure capability available upon request.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mountz has introduced a weld stud test tool for testing the integrity and strength of welds used to attach threaded studs to sheet metal.A mechanical test with the tool provides manufacturers with test results. To test the shear torque of a weld stud, the user applies a straight pull of the tool (no side load). When the wrench breaks over and the weld stud is still attached, it has passed. If the weld stud breaks off, it has failed.]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.thefabricator.com/product/weldinginspection/uv-borescopes-designed-for-ndt-dye-penetration-tests</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Lenox Instrument Co. has introduced a line of UV borescopes designed to be used in NDT dye penetration tests. They can remotely detect surface flaws and cracks in hard-to-reach areas of mechanical components normally inaccessible to visual inspection.A penetrant fluorescent dye is applied to the surface to be viewed and allowed to penetrate into surface defects. The dye remains in defects after cleaning and can be observed when it fluoresces under the borescope's UV light.The borescopes come in rigid, flexible, and section styles. They can identify details and flaws as small as 0.001 in. They are available with a choice of probes (direct, forward oblique, to-the-side, or retrospective), magnifications, and fields of view. Diameters are from 0.157 in. to 0.395 in. and lengths from 7 in. to 63 in.]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.thefabricator.com/product/weldinginspection/weld-cap-sensors-detect-inclusions-faulty-dressing-burrs</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Pepperl+Fuchs has introduced WTS10 weld cap sensors. The diffuse-mode sensors check the quality of welding cap fronts and detect faults such as inclusions, faulty dressing, or burrs.The sensors provide high stability against discrepancies in the position and angle of the welding cap, according to the manufacturer. They check upper and lower welding caps simultaneously and provide prefault (near the limit) indication for proactive maintenance. A push-button teach mode facilitates sensor programming.The sensors provide increased switching accuracy and can detect minute deviations. They deliver larger light spot diameter and parallel beam path to evaluate every spot on the welding cap equally.Featuring a scratch-resistant mineral glass lens, the sensors provide position tolerance of  &amp;plusmn;0.079 and tilt angle tolerance of &amp;plusmn; 1.5 degrees. They also provide a consistent detection range of 0.079 in. to 0.472 in. regardless of the length of the welding cap or whether the welding cap is brand-new or a fully dressed tip. Highly visible LEDs indicate &quot;good,&quot; &quot;prefault,&quot; and &quot;fault&quot; weld tip status.]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.thefabricator.com/product/weldinginspection/3-d-seam-inspection-system-inspects-welded-adhesive-brazed-joints</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Vitronic's 3-D seam inspection system, VIROwsi, inspects welded, adhesive, and brazed joints, using objective test criteria with constant attention and documenting results. It is suitable for weld seams, brazing seams, and sealant beads.A sensor uses laser triangulation to record 3-D data of the welded joint's surface for optical quality inspection. The sensor is moved over the joint, with data analysis conducted on an industrial PC. The sensor examines the joints with respect to their dimensions&amp;mdash;such as breadth, throat thickness, and volume&amp;mdash;and joint-specific errors like porosity and undercuts. The result is sent to the control system and recorded in the quality records automatically.Applications include GMAW, MAG, and laser welds, as well as joints, edges, gap measurements, and weld guidance.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[PPT Vision Inc. has introduced the Impact T22 intelligent camera designed as a drop-in replacement for obsolete or underpowered vision systems. An image processing computer inside the camera enables it to be deployed without additional image processing hardware.With a &Acirc;&frac12;-in. CCD, the camera is interchangeable with older, camera-based vision systems, enabling manufacturers to upgrade older vision engines to achieve 100 percent real-time inspection while reusing existing optical and lighting components. It is a suitable replacement for both analog and digital systems.]]></description>
