- The Wavemaker G4 represents GUL’s current full-size platform for collecting guided wave inspection data. It contains 32 transducer channels for interfacing to all of GUL’s transduction systems without needing adaptor cables. It also contains a range of peripherals to ensure quality guided wave data is collected quickly and efficiently; these include automatic transducer detection and diagnostics, an operator identification method, and a built-in GPS.
- In addition to the ‘low’ frequencies used for standard pipe inspection, the G4 can be fitted with a ‘medium’ frequency sampling board to collect quality data from small diameter pipes or under supports (applications targeted by the HD series of rings). The instrument contains a dedicated diagnostics connection and the ability to support an advanced reflection amplitude calibration routine. In addition to the USB connection, the G4 features a wired LAN connection and a Wireless (WiFi) connection to a controlling computer. The instrument can also be controlled via its 7” colour touch screen.
- Users that only need 16 channels may also want to consider the G4 Mini (Fully Loaded) instrument that is functionally equivalent to the Wavemaker® G4 (LF+MF), but with fewer channels and in a smaller, lighter, package.
