3.17.4 Equipment<br />

A number of commercial instruments have been developed for<br />

measuringinternal stresses using BN. Figure 3.39 shows the Rollscan and<br />

Stresscan instruments developed by American Stress Technologies, Inc. The<br />

Rollscan instrument is a one- to four-channel instrument designed for<br />

semiautomatic testing when used with mechanical handling equipment that<br />

can rotate the part while simultaneously moving the measurement head so<br />

that the entire surface can be scanned.<br />

The Stresscan instrument is a lightweight, battery operated, fully portable,<br />

programmable, single-channel unit with keyboard entry. A simplified diagram<br />

showing the basic BN operating principle is shown in Figure 3.40.<br />
