Quality - Safety

Many safety features are included in this system, not only to protect the equipment, but also the operator. A proximity safety probe is used to protect the test head from injurious mechanical conditions. When the proximity safety probe detects injurious mechanical conditions, all probes are lifted clear of the tube surface. A flow meter installed on the system couplant supply line will immediately lift the testing probes when couplant flow decreases or is absent. The probes cannot contact the hot tube surface in the absence of couplant for cooling purposes. An alarm light or horn announces that the probes are in the ‘No test ’ position. In addition, mechanical manipulation cannot be performed unless it is safe for the operator and the equipment.
