GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies

The CRxFlex is the latest addition to the suite of digital radiography conversion options from GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies. Described as reliable and versatile, the device provides superior image quality for flaw detection in welds, cast parts and corrosion/erosion detection in pipes. The scanner can be used with either isotopes or x-ray sources. Unlike competitive phosphor scanners, GE says its scanner can be used either with hard cassettes, in which the phosphor imaging plate never leaves the cassette, or it can scan any size of phosphor screen up to 14 x 17 inches and any shape can be accommodated, including circles, triangles, rectangles, pie shape, etc. These individual imaging plates can be exposed using a soft, flexible cassette (with or without lead) before scanning. www.gesensinginspection.com.

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Ltd

Huntingdon Fusion says for welding stainless steel pipes up to 12 inches in diameter, a new range of purging systems has been launched that allows the introduction of inert gas to reduce the oxygen content of pipes faster and allow welding to begin sooner than previously possible. The new pipe purging system is designed with multiple exhaust channels to allow the oxygen in the weld space to be exhausted faster than before. Furthermore, additional inert gas inlet channels have been provided to speed up the purging process for more time savings. Designated “Multi Hole Pipe Purge System,” the firm says its new Argweld® range is for pipes from 2-12 inches in diameter and replaces the previous range known as the MKIV System. www.huntingdonfusion.com.
