C1 SPIDER TANK
CRAWLER
At Horizon Testing Inc. we
have invested in the
ScanTech C1 Spider tank
crawler. The C1 Spider tank
crawler is a Windows
computer
controlled
ultrasonic inspection crawler
system that is designed to
continuously scan tank wall
thickness as it moves up the
wall.

technique for measuring

wall thickness commonly
used in hand held thickness
instrument
meters.
A
transducer converts a pulse
of electrical energy into
ultrasonic sound vibration.
The pulse is a longitudinal
wave known as a straight
beam
that
travels
perpendicular through the
water to the tube wall. A
small part of the energy is
transmitted through the tube
wall and is reflected off the
back wall then back to the
transducer.

Typical sound wave

propagation

The transducer measures

as it continuously scans and
advances up on the tank
wall. The thickness is
recorded as the tank is
scanned and generates a
B scan graph.

The software allows the

Technician to continually
view the A, B scan during
the acquisition process. A
report feature allows the
users to create a completely
custom report of any length
using a drag and drop
interface.

GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
C1 Spider

GENERAL THEORY
The operation principle of
the system is based upon
the ultrasonic pulse-echo

The C1 Spider Tank

Crawler System uses a
pulse echo single or dual
transducer that transmits
sound waves through the
tank wall to determine the
wall thickness.

SCANNING SYSTEM
At Horizon Testing Inc. we
have also invested in the
ScanTech Analyst D2S Dryer
Scanning System. The D2S is
a
Windows
computer
controlled
ultrasonic
inspection crawler system that
is designed to continuously
scan cast iron paper machine
dryer rolls for thickness. The
system scans and records
velocity and time of flight
information, assuring proper
calibration at any point on the
roll. The D2S also provides
the flexibility and reporting
capabilities of the analyst
software.
