A1050 RANGER - Guided Wave Instrument for Hidden Corrosion Detection
A1050 RANGER
A1050 RANGER is the guided wave ultrasonic scanning system to detect hidden corrosion in inaccessible areas of pipelines, e.g. corrosion under support, or underground corrosion of light poles.
Features and Benefits
- Easy-to-use instrument for semi-mechanized or manual testing
- Fully couplant-free operation
- Real-time ultrasonic imaging and evaluation
- Capable of working on painted or coated pipes and poles
- Applicable on metallic, plastic and composite pipes
Description
A compact guided wave ultrasonic inspection system A1050 RANGER designed for rapid detection of hidden corrosion in pipes and light poles - especially in hard-to-access areas such as under supports. Utilizing dry-point-contact (DPC) transducers, the system requires no couplant and enables efficient field deployment.
By means of inspection manipulator the operator performs a full 360° circumferential scan, capturing high-resolution B-scan images that clearly indicate corrosion locations and severity. Its robust, portable design and intuitive data visualization make it ideal for on-site inspections, delivering reliable results with minimal setup time.

Applications
The inspection task involves detecting hidden corrosion in metallic structures such as pipes and light poles, particularly in areas that are difficult to access, like under pipe supports. Using guided wave ultrasonics with dry-point-contact transducers, the system scans the full 360° circumference of the structure.
During the inspection, the device collects multichannel ultrasonic data in different measurement positions and generates B-scan images by means of Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) method, allowing operators to identify and assess the location and severity of corrosion without removing the structure or interrupting operation.
