Sensu 2 Subsea ACFM Probes
Sensu 2 subsea ACFM probes provide weld inspection with onboard configuration memory and application-specific geometries for Amigo 2 and U41 instruments.
Product overview
Sensu 2 Subsea ACFM Probes are an intelligent probe family for subsea weld inspection with Amigo 2 and U41 instruments. Their electronics store probe configuration data onboard, while updated cables and connectors retain familiar probe body designs. The range is rated IP68 down to 300m underwater.
The family uses ACFM with probe frequencies selected for the weld material: the listed ferritic inspection variants operate at 5 kHz, while applicable austenitic inspection variants operate at 50 kHz. Compared with legacy probes, the page describes faster inspection, cleaner signals and higher signal-to-noise ratio. The Mini-Array provides four ACFM rows and 36 mm coverage using the X field only, and requires an instrument version compatible with array probes.
Probe geometry is tailored to the inspection location. Weld and Tight Access models incorporate stabilizers and a wider field, with the latter adding a tapered, angled nose for restricted access. The Ground Weld model uses a narrow nose with deeper reach for ferritic grounded welds only. Pencil and Micro Nose Pencil models offer ceramic tips and three nose configurations; the Micro Nose version targets specialist applications requiring high probability of detection on shallow flaws.
Key capabilities
Onboard probe memory
Probe data and configuration information are stored in the probe electronics.
Subsea rating
The probe range is rated IP68 down to 300m underwater.
Updated electronics
Familiar probe bodies incorporate updated electronics, cables and connectors.
Faster inspection
The range is described as faster than legacy probes, with two outputs and higher signal-to-noise ratio.
Mini-array coverage
The Mini-Array combines four ACFM rows with 36 mm coverage for ferritic welds using the X field only.
Restricted-access geometry
The Tight Access Probe has a tapered, angled nose, stabilizers and a wider field.
Ground weld access
The Ground Weld Probe has a narrow, deeper-reaching nose for ferritic grounded weld inspection.
Ceramic pencil tips
Pencil and Micro Nose Pencil probes feature wear-resistant ceramic tips in straight, right-angle and transverse configurations.
Shallow-flaw applications
Micro Nose Pencil probes address specialist weld inspection requiring high probability of detection on shallow flaws.
