The "Wavemaker"
Engineering & Inspections Hawaii is pleased to announce the second generation of the guided wave ultrasonic technology named the “Wavemaker”. This technology opens a new era in global inspections capable of characterizing long runs of pipe from a single inspection point.
The Wavemaker system has been redesigned, lighter in weight, and more compact than prior systems along with an upgraded software and programmed in C++. It is the new low frequency ultrasonic tool that utilizes both torsional and compressional waves that can detect corrosion in pipe up to 200 feet in either direction from a single inspection point.
