What is the minimum wall thickness that can be inspected with the COBRA on the smallest diameter pipe size?
We can’t give an exact number for the wall thickness. It is too closely related to the defects, material type, noise in the material, and the operator’s ability. The customers need to make their own tests because we cannot guarantee the performance for their specific applications. Small diameters lose a lot of power on each skip and thin wall pipe required multiple steps to cover wide welds. This combination can become a problem with very small and thin pipes. Unfortunately, we cannot give a number that will work in every situation without being too conservative.
