FAC2010 Exhibitors list

www.inspectorsystems.de

 INSPECTOR SYSTEMS GmbH is specialized in the development of customer designed pipe robots for the interior inspection and maintenance of pipe systems in the nuclear power industry. The unique robot construction allows them to work in long lengths of pipes, which include many bends, valves and vertical sections of piping. The robots are made up of multiple drive units and a head module (i.e. inspections, grinding or other customer designed elements), all of which are joined together with flexible, folding bellows. The wheels of the drive units can be pneumatically pressed to perfecty grip the interior walls of the pipe. This means that even vertical sections of pipe can be traveled.

Exhibited equipment at FAC2010 :

Pipe robots for interior inspection and maintenance of pipes, such as grinding robots, video-laser inspection robots or other NDT robots.

Thermo Scientific Niton XRF analyzers set the industry standard for monitoring the trace alloy content of carbon steel piping and components where FAC is a concern.

From power plants to LNG terminals, the monitoring of material composition, particularly of trace chromium content, can help you more effectively and efficiently plan your inspection protocols, helping to reduce downtime, save costs, and reduce accidents.

Our handheld XRF analyzers - an accepted method for FAC trace element analysis - deliver a range of benefits and features for FAC modeling :

• Lowest published detection limits for Cr, Cu, Ni and Mo in carbon steel,
• Fast, nondestructive analysis,
• Rugged, lightweight, and easy-to-operate
• Easy reporting and data export for use in CHECKWORKS^TM.

Innov-X Systems is a vital force in the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) industry. Their systems perform fast, accurate elemental analysis in seconds to identify, differentiate and quantify most materials by elemental composition.
Founded in 2001, they pioneered handheld XRF instrumentation using a miniature x-ray tube rather than radioactive isotopes. Innov-X has rapidly expanded into many other XRF areas and taken a leading position in on-line/automated process instrumentation. With R&D and manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Innov-X has offices in Europe (the Netherlands), Asia (Hong Kong) and Australia.

Oxford Instruments have over 30 year's experience in developing XRF analysers known for world leading accuracy and quality. Our Industrial Analysis division offers a wide range of XRF analysers from handheld instruments to laboratory based benchtop systems for materials analysis and quality control.

X-MET handheld XRF analysers are specifically designed for Positive Material Identification and alloy analysis and are widely used in power and chemical plants. Challenging trace element analysis, such as FAC inspection in the nuclear power industry can be performed in seconds - without compromising accuracy!

• Inspect pipes and welds for corrosion resistance conformity and pressure equipment for alloy composition
• Reliable identification of a wide range of alloy grades. The grade library contains: nickel, cobalt, copper, titanium, zirconium and aluminium alloys, stainless, tools and low alloy steels. Extensive and open grade library allows easy editing: addition and naming of new alloys.
• Traceable empirical calibration available to certified reference materials
• Easy access to confined spaces - X-MET compensates for shapes, sizes and forms of a sample
• Withstands test piece surface temperatures of up to 400ºC

Revolutionary Light element analysis (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) without awkward vacuum pumps or helium bottles.
