1 Sonic V Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry Technology

The Sonic V Introduction The Sonic V is a 5 th Generation Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry inspection system for ultra-fast and reliable Inner diameter (ID) tube inspections.

Echoes generated by defects are recorded using special cutting edge microphones. Powerful algorithms identify the location, type and size of ID defects.

The lightweight, ultra-portable, battery operated probe is small enough to be carried in a backpack, while the absence of cables or calibration tubes makes the Sonic V easy to operate.

2 The Sonic V Introduction The Sonic V is a 5 th Generation Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry inspection system for ultra-fast and reliable Inner diameter (ID) tube inspections. Principle - Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry (APR) Sonic V leverages APR technology capabilities Specially formed acoustic pulses are propagated through the air enclosed in a tube. Echoes generated by defects are recorded using special cutting edge microphones. Powerful algorithms identify the location, type and size of ID defects. A small & powerful device Incorporating cutting-edge technology, the Sonic V has been designed with speed and mobility in mind. The lightweight, ultra-portable, battery operated probe is small enough to be carried in a backpack, while the absence of cables or calibration tubes makes the Sonic V easy to operate. Extremely fast data collection makes 100% inspections a reality when needed. Designed for fast inspections Highly sensitive to through wall holes (detects any hole with diameter of 0.5mm) with under 10 seconds for single tube inspection, enables efficient testing of 100% of tubes in shutdowns and emergency inspections. Top quality reports each time The most experienced analysts are available 24/7 and guarantee top quality analysis & reporting every time.

3 ID defects detection Extremely sensitive to through wall holes and blockages/restrictions Easy detection of ID wall losses (pitting, erosion)** Ability to detect holes from 0.5mm in diameter and over Complete ID coverage of all types of tubes U-bends, fin-fans, twisted, spiral wound tubes Ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metals, graphite and plastics ID diameters from 6mm (1/4") to 50mm (2") Up to 20 meters Tubes depending on defect size, tube configuration and type Cutting-edge technology Touch screen display Cloud based data delivery USB, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity Automatic software updates Battery operated handheld device Practical solution Extremely-fast, non-invasive inspection/less than 10s per tube Both, battery and electricity operated No need for inventory of consumable probes or Calibration tubes Single operator with minimal training Effortless operation The Sonic V is designed to simplify inspection process. A user-friendly interface is developed to ensure reliable and efficient inspections, helping the operator setting up, guiding through and finalizing the inspection. Professional service Get reports from a highly trained and experienced analyst team in less than 24 hours after the inspection. Very light and convenient for fast transportation, battery certified for air freight. Entire system and accessories housed in a single & light backpack. How does it work? Step 1 - Input session parameters (tube length, outer diameter, wall thickness and ambient temp). directly from the device or from the software which is installed on a Computer. Step 2 - Create an inspection Map either from a Photo or from various preset options. Step3 - Place device on tube and shoot ; within 10 seconds data will be acquired and stored Step 4 - Transfer session to Computer or upload from the Device to server (remote analysis option). Step 5 - Analyze & Report
