IDEA #4FUP04 SKOP-8 Portable 8-channel acoustic emission device for non-destructive testing of materials, products and structure elements

SKOP-8 Portable 8-channel acoustic emission device for non-destructive testing of materials, products and structure elements Description: Innovative aspect and main advantages: Areas of Application: Stage of Development: Photos/Pictures: Contact details: Targeted Companies: (for internal use only – to facilitate matchmaking) Eight channel acoustic emission (AE) device for selection, recording and processing signals of AE is intended for use in the sphere of non-destructive testing of materials, products and structures of various forms and functional applications. The device is designed using a wide range of SMD elements and is adapted to work with Windows family operating systems. Specially developed software realizes functions of input data processing and its visualization, defect location and storing the obtained results into computer memory. In comparison with developments of world-famous manufacturers the designed device has a number of advantages: − portability allows the device to be used not only in field conditions of inspected objects diagnosing but also in hard-to-reach, high-altitude and other difficult conditions; − sensitivity to tested surface displacement 10-14...10-12 m; − USB interface connection provides high rate of data exchange between the device and a PC; supply current 120 mА; − programmed control capabilities: choice of number of working channels, variability of sampling duration etc. − inaccuracy in determination of AE source location depending on inspected object testing conditions does not exceed 10 %; − overall dimensions: 370×256×30 mm, weight – 2,1 kg; − compactness and good constructional solution of the device conduce to easy and convenient transportation. The device can be used for monitoring and technical diagnostics of long- term operation objects: − bridges, tanks, pressure vessels, pipelines; − elements of bridge, frame and tower cranes; − port lift-and-carry mechanisms; − other components and mechanisms, − as well as in laboratories for fundamental and applied researches of structural materials. There has been a working device model manufactured and adjusted and the corresponding software tested and fixed.
