The SwRI MST 8x8 is a flexible strip containing eight ultrasonic sensors that generate acoustic waves along a structure. Corrosion and other flaws are identified when the waves reflect back to the ...

Magnetostrictive sensing has a lot to offer: the devices don't wear, aren't prone to backlash, and don't need extra electronics for converting ac signals into dc. They've good shock and electrical ...

Engineers have created the next generation of transducers that use ultrasonic guided wave technology to detect anomalies in pipes, enabling users to prevent leaks before they start. Southwest Research ...

AutomationDirect has added Gefran WPG and WPP series magnetostrictive linear position transducers. These transducers work like other linear position sensors by translating a linear position to an ...

For molders looking to cut downtime, a new replaceable electronics module (REM) allows for 5-minute plug-and-play repair of magnetostrictive transducers. The REM eliminates the need to depressurize a ...

SwRI’s Dr. Sergey Vinogradov has received the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) Ward Rummel Engineering Excellence Award, which recognizes outstanding sustained contributions in ...
