Maximum testing speeds for Rotomat/Transomat systems depend on sensor<br />

design and tubing size. Rotomat Ro sensor systems have four rotating heads<br />

covering tubing diameters from 20 to 520 mm (0.79 to 20.5 in.).Transomat TR<br />

sensor systems have three sensor systems covering tubing diameters from<br />

26 to 440 mm (1.02 to 17.3 in.).<br />

The Rotomat Ro 180 sensor system has a limited design range and can scan<br />

tubes with diameters ranging from 20 to 180mm (0.79 to 7.09 in.) with<br />

throughput speeds of 2.6 m/s (8.5 f/s).The Transomat TR 180 sensor system<br />

can also scan tubes with diameters ranging from 26 to 180mm (1.02 to<br />

7.09in.) with throughput speeds of 2.6 m/s (8.5 f/s).<br />

The maximum throughput speed for larger diameter tubing and larger Ro and<br />

TR sensing heads is about 2 m/s (6.6 f/s), depending on tube diameter. Large,<br />

fully automated testing lines, incorporating multiple test parameters, are<br />

extensively used in Europe for the inspection of critical piping systems. A<br />

schematic representation of a fully integrated material handling and transport<br />

system with automatic testing lines is shown in Figure 3.36.<br />
