Product Overview
TheSonic India Complete Micro IRIS Tube Inspection Full Kit is a compact ultrasonic tube inspection accessory solution developed for small-diameter tube applications where standard IRIS probe assemblies may not be suitable. Micro IRIS is used for internal tube wall inspection where tube ID is limited, tube access is compact, and accurate ultrasonic wall thickness measurement is required.
The system is commonly used for condensers, chillers, compact heat exchangers, small boiler tubes, feedwater heater tubes, and process equipment tubes. The inspection is performed by inserting a Micro IRIS probe assembly into the tube. Water is used as the ultrasonic coupling medium between the probe and tube wall. Depending on the probe design, water flow may also support the rotary scanning mechanism or micro turbine operation.
The complete Micro IRIS kit may include Micro IRIS probes, Micro IRIS cables, Micro IRIS TUD cable, Micro tube centering devices / TUC centering devices, water pump system, hoses, fittings, and connection accessories based on the final configuration. The kit can be customized based on tube ID, wall thickness, tube material, inspection instrument, probe frequency, cable length, water flow requirement, and project scope.
Working Principle / Technology Overview
Micro IRIS inspection works on the ultrasonic pulse-echo principle. A compact ultrasonic transducer sends sound energy through a controlled water path toward the tube wall. The ultrasonic beam is directed toward the tube wall by a micro rotary scanning arrangement, mirror arrangement, or suitable probe design depending on the selected system configuration.
The instrument receives reflected ultrasonic echoes from the tube inner wall and outer wall. The time difference between these echoes is used to calculate tube wall thickness. Changes in echo position, amplitude, and signal pattern help indicate corrosion, pitting, erosion, thinning, localized wall loss, and other tube wall changes.
In small-diameter tubes, the water path is very short and probe alignment is highly critical. Even small off-center movement may affect signal stability and wall thickness accuracy. For this reason, Micro IRIS inspection requires suitable probe size, correct centering device, stable water flow, clean tube condition, and compatible cable/system interface.
