WavePro4TM Software
The WavePro4TM guided wave analysis software runs on a
Windows based operating systems and interfaces with the
Wavemaker G4TM instrument.
The software assists the collection of data, the validation and
analysis of the data, and the reporting of the results. Its many
features simplify and speed up the inspectors tasks while
exploiting the full potential of guided wave screening using
GULs large variety of transduction systems. The software
continues to evolve to bring new features that enhance the
capabilities of guided wave screening.
A licence for use of the software is included in the price of the
Wavemaker G4 & G4mini.

EFC Rings
These transducer rings are typically used for standard screening of pipes with nominal size between 2 and 4
inches.
The rings are attached to the pipe by tightening the two large handles; this action presses the spring loaded
transducers onto the pipe to get good shear contact. As for the other rings produced by GUL, no couplant is
necessary and it is possible to couple through most paint layers.
The standard rings have 2 rows of transducers and are torsional mode. Special rings can be produced for
other sizes and for ones that contain 4 rows of transducers to allow for inspection using both the longitudinal
and torsional guided wave mode families. Prices for specials are by specific quotation.

EFC Rings
These transducer rings are designed to provide effective inspection capability, particularly for large diameter
pipes. Pneumatic pressure (approx. 2bars or 25psi) is used to press transducers modules (which are mounted
onto this ring) against the pipe wall.
The number of modules required to populate the ring is also specified. These modules are fully interchangeable
between inflatable collars therefore if sufficient modules are purchased to populate a 24-inch ring this will
allow population of all sizes up to 24-inch or a combination of smaller ones simultaneously.
For sizes greater than 24 inch diameter 2 smaller inflatable type rings can be linked together within the technical
limitations as detailed in specific procedure for joining rings.
Non-standard sizes (up to 60) and non-EFC rings can be produced to special order. Prices for specials are by
specific quotation.

CompactTM Rings
The CompactTM ring is the latest addition to the GUL guided wave transduction system which has been
designed to be lightweight and low profile. With only 30mm clearance required around pipe for installation,
the Compact ring fits in tighter gaps than previous generations of inflatable rings.
A range of new features has been incorporated in the CompactTM to ensure effortless working while producing
unbeatable performance.Compatible with the G4 only.

HT Rings
These transducer rings are similar to the standard solid rings, but are capable of testing pipes operating at
up to 350oC when the HT procedure is used. The ring can be supplied for pipe sizes between 2 and 8 inches.
The HT transducers utilize the latest ceramic technology to minimise the negative temperature effects that HT
operation would typically have upon equipment life; and at the same time achieving an improved performance
over conventional designs.
Similar to the standard solid rings, the HT solid rings have 2 rows of transducers and are torsional mode.
Special rings containing 4 rows of transducers to allow for inspection using both the longitudinal and torsional
guided wave modes.

HD Rings
This type of ring has been developed to utilize the high frequency range available with the Wavemaker G4 and
G4mini for applications where higher sensitivity and resolution is required as opposed to longer range. Such
applications are typically interface penetrations, supports and inspection for localised pitting.
The operation of the HD solid rings is similar to the standard solid rings, which has 2 rows of transducers for
torsional mode excitation.
Additionally, GUL can supply the HD solid rings with HT-HD transducers for the operation at the elevated
temperature of up to 350oC.

TubePro Software
The TubePro software simplifies the task of
dealing with the very large number of results in a
typical heat exchange that need to be collected,
compared and reported.
It works with the Wavemaker electronics to present
the results in a Tube Sheet Diagram, so that the
inspection information is easy to visualize and
report.

gPIMS
In many situations, the cost of accessing a pipe is much higher than the cost of inspection. This access cost
can make repeat inspections with removable rings prohibitively expensive.
The gPIMS range of sensors has been developed to be bonded onto the pipe, sealed and then left in place.
A cable connects the gPIMS sensor to a connection box that can be located in a convenient, easy to access
location.
By performing repeat inspections and comparing the results to previous inspections, improved sensitivity and
confidence in the calls can be achieved. It also allows the operator to monitor for any change in the condition
of the pipe.
This design makes site installs reliable and fast. It also facilitates installation by rope access.
