The mechanical stress indicator “STRESSVISION” is designed to measure, evaluate and visualize the fields of residual mechanical stresses of ferromagnetic steels.
The equipment belongs to the class of electromagnetic magnetoanisotropic mechanical stress sensors. The principle of operation is based on the use of the magnetoelastic effect, which refers to the property of ferromagnetic materials to change the magnetic state under the influence of mechanical stresses. The measurement operation is carried out using a contact manual scan.
The measurement results are proportional to the difference in basic mechanical stresses (DPMS).
«STRESSVISION» solves the complex task:
- Three-dimensional and two-dimensional layer-by-layer visualization of field of the mechanical stresses of the object of inspection according to the results of measurements in the form of maps of DPMS;
- Determining the existence and conditions of the development of destruction process object’s under inspection;
- Search and identify critical and incipient indications create a concentration of mechanical stresses (CMS) upto depth of 25 mm;
- Monitor of residual mechanical stresses at different stages of technological processes, including welding, like residual stresses after and before heat treatment etc;
- Monitoring and measuring residual stresses.
Typical objects of inspection:
- Welded joints and base metal structures;
- Pipelines, large diameter pipes, compressor stations, dust
collectors; - Pressure vessels, reservoirs and storage tanks;
- Building and bridge structures, beams, columns;
- Items of a railway transportation (rails, wheel pairs, carriage
frames etc.); - Lifting and transport equipment;
- Ship structures (Hull etc.);
- Nuclear industry (pipes heat exchangers, steam generators etc.);
- Other metallurgical structures.
