Type of document: Contract Notice
Country: United Kingdom
1. Title: PHASED ARRAY ULTRASONIC PROBES
2. Awarding Authority: TWI Ltd, Granta Park, Great Abington, Cambridge, GB, CB21 6AL. Tel: 01223899000. Email: purchasing@twi.co.uk . Web: purchasing@twi.co.uk (Purchasing Department)
3. Contract type: Supply contract
Single stage – Any candidate may submit a tender.
4. Description: The Awarding Authority is one of the world’s foremost independent research and technology organisations, with expertise in solving problems in all aspects of manufacturing, fabrication and whole-life integrity management technologies.
Established in Cambridge, UK in 1946 and with facilities across the globe, the company has a first class reputation for service through its teams of internationally respected consultants, scientists, engineers and support staff, whose knowledge and expertise is available to its Industrial Members as and when they require.
This specification has been produced as part of an initiative known as AEMRI (Advanced Engineering Materials Research Institute), which is funded by the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) using European Regional Development Funds (ERDF). AEMRI seeks to create a unique facility housing a critical mass of equipment, expertise and resources. AEMRI provides an environment to test and prove the limits of performance of advanced materials. Through the use of advanced modelling and simulation methods, full, large-scale mechanical test structures will be designed and built upon finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. Advanced, automated non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques will be developed with the aim of saving the industry time and production costs as well as minimising the risk of catastrophic structural failures.
AEMRI will deliver the objectives of the project through the following four technical strands:-
Modelling and Simulation of High Performance Materials and Structures.
Advanced Robotic Inspection of Complex Geometry Structures.
Inspection Systems for Very Large Structures for the Green Energy Sector.
Nuclear Fabrication Research Centre.
The awarding authority requires two matched phased array probes to be integrated with a robotic inspection system for through transmission inspection using squirter nozzles. The probes will spend long periods in immersion and should be resistant to water ingress.
The probe will be used in conjunction with either a PEAK NDT LT-PA unit (such as LT-PA 64/128) or a MicroPulse (5PA T/R) as these are already in use at TWI.
