Model 37DL PLUS Using EMAT Transducers
23
Back to Index
EMAT Transducer
An EMAT (Electro Magnetic Acoustic Transducer) uses the Magnetostrictive principle to generate shear wave sound energy in ferrous metals that are externally coated with high temperature oxide scale. E110-SB The EMAT transducer does not require the use of ultrasonic couplant. If the scale is not fully bonded to the surface of the steel, the shear wave sound energy will not be transmitted into the metal.
24
Back to Index
EMAT Transducer
EMAT transducers are designed to be a quick way of determining the approximate wall thickness without removing the external oxide scale.
The E110-SB EMAT transducers generate shear sound waves in the steel material. The EMAT transducers create a non-focused signal and is designed to give a good estimate of the remaining wall thickness (+/-0.010 in or +/-0.25 mm)
LCB-74-4 1/2XA/E110
37DL PLUS
E110-SB
The 37DL PLUS will automatically recall the default setup for the E110-SB EMAT transducer when the Adapter and E110-SB transducer is plugged in. The gage is now ready to take thickness measurements of steel that is coated with external scale using the default setup.

Oxide/Scale can build up on the inside of boiler tubes The oxide that builds up acts as an insulator. This effects the heat transfer from outside the tube to the water inside the tube The tubes runs at a higher temperature then they were designed for and they start to thin faster. Knowing both the thickness of the steel and internal Oxide the remaining tube life can be more accurately predicted
