(Zetec: Snoqualmie, WA) -- Zetec Inc., a global leader in nondestructive testing solutions, today introduced EMERALD, an advanced compact, industrial phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) system with the most powerful and versatile total focusing method (TFM) image processing capability in its class.

Designed for rugged environments and challenging nondestructive testing applications in oil and gas, power generation, manufacturing, in-service railway, and aerospace, EMERALD delivers a wide range of intelligent features. They include 64-channel code-compliant PAUT; data acquisition through full matrix capture (FMC) and plane wave imaging (PWI) up to 128 elements; real-time multi-TFM processing for faster, more efficient image reconstruction; time of flight diffraction (TOFD) capabilities; advanced focusing techniques such as sectorial total focusing; bipolar pulses to penetrate thick components; and superior signal quality due to a high dynamic analog signal amplification range.
