SAW Bug - The Motorised Weld CrawlerWith a four-wheel drive system, the magnetic buggy has excellent
grip and drive power and delivers constant speed whether ascending
or descending the inspection surface.
The standard SAW Bug holds four transducers:
typically two phased array and two TOFD probes but can
accommodate up to six probes. Its compact design makes it
adaptable for the inspection of a wide range of welds from 4" OD
pipes up to large vessels.

Circumferential welds with a diameter from 12 in (300 mm) can be
inspected on cylindrical objects. On cylindrical, spherical, as well as
complexshaped objects with a radius of surface curvature from 16 ft (5
m) to flatness, the system is capable of testing long welds in any
direction. Objects with wall thickness from .25 to 12 in (from 6 to 300 mm) can be examined with the help of appropriate probes. Depending on the inspection task, TOFD MAN TM system can be complete with another scanner (see "Scanners").

Moisture�Detection�Imaging�(MDI)Acuren's Moisture Detection Imaging (MDI) is a must-have component of any CUI program. MDI will
identify the presence of moisture within,
or under insulation without the use of any other Non-Destructive
examination or testing and without having to remove the insulation, with
visual confirmation in real time.
Detecting moisture is one way to attack the root cause of corrosion versus focusing on symptoms. MDI is a
part of our comprehensive CUI inspection program providing information that enables operators and owners to make decisions and
prioritize where to focus more targeted inspection methods.

The AMSY-6 is a fully digital multi-channel (2 to 248 channels) AE-measurement
system. It consists of parallel measurement channels and the system front end
software which runs on an external PC. A measurement channel consists of an AE-
sensor, preamplifier and one channel of an ASIP-2 (dual channel acoustic signal
processor). Each channel combines an analogue measurement section and a
digital signal processing unit. AE-features, such as time of the first threshold
crossing (arrival time), risetime, duration, peak amplitude, energy and counts, are
extracted by the ASIP-2. In parallel to the feature extraction, the complete
waveform can be recorded to an optional transient recorder module.

Achievements, Developments & Mergers
LEADING Australian-based NDT solutions provider Nexxis has been named as a finalist in the two categories of the 2018 Australian Subsea Industry Awards.
The company was shortlisted in the Collaboration and Innovation & Technology categories, thanks to an extensive portfolio of work carried out over the year.
As a specialist in NDT and robotic inspection technology, the Perth-headquartered company works with the world's leading research, development and equipment manufacturing providers to deliver customised solutions to clients in the subsea sector and many other industries.
CEO Jason De Silveira said being shortlisted for the awards was testament to the hard work of Nexxis staff and key collaboration partners including Inuktun, Data61, Riezler, Eddyfi and Australia's CSIRO.
"We've been fortunate to be involved in some exciting and innovative projects this year," Mr De Silveira said.
"In every case, the solutions have required clients, suppliers, research partners and the Nexxis team to work collaboratively to understand the challenges, share ideas and technology, and devise appropriate outcomes.
"The result of such collaboration is innovation at its best."
