Imperium Non Destructive Testing (NDT) products allow manufacturers to instantly visualize a variety of subsurface faults. and realize a significant improvement in production efficiency and cost reduction. The Acoustocam™ industrial imaging products instantly detect voids, delaminations,cracks and corrosion in materials in both manufacturing and in-service environments. We have experience in the following industries :
Areas of application Specific Defects that can be detected
Aerospace Cracking under fastener heads
Aircraft Impact damage
Petrochemical Cracking or corrosion near welds
Power Voids or Delaminations
Nuclear Water Intrusion
Automotive Stress corrosion cracking(SCC) & Multi angle Application
 
Our "instant C-scan" systems are significantly more efficient than conventional ultrasound point-by-point scanning or single element inspection.
  1. Easily inspect for 0.030" subsurface cracks near rivet heads in under 1 minute and generate real time images
  2. Generates clear, real time video imagery of subsurface faults
  3. Laminate composite images
  4. Impact damage in solid laminates
  5. Skin to core disbond
  6. 0.5mm Spatial resolution resolves very small defects
  7. Portability for easy movement between jobs
  8. Same equipmnet for different applications
  9. Bar code reading under paint without removal of paint
  10. Muti angle application and Speed of analysis
Comparisons to current ultrasonic inspection : The use of the ultrasound camera provides a significant increase in productivity without sacrificing data quality.
Example : If an inspection is performed of a 10-foot by 10-foot component, with a minimum spatial resolution of 0.5-mm (21mils) and a scanning rate of 12 inches per second, the difference in scanning time is as follows:
Current C-scan Real-Time C-scan
100 (ft) 2 100 (ft) 2
6096 passes 48 passes
16.9 hours 8 minutes
