TOPAZ™ is unique in terms of functionality and flexibility, as it is capable of performing on-board inspection setup, data acquisition, data analysis, and detailed report generation without the need for an external computer. Another distinguishing feature is its sealed frame. TOPAZ™ is housed in a robust magnesium frame that is 33 percent lighter than aluminum with no air intake. This insulates the product from dust in harsh environments and it makes it perfect for field applications. TOPAZ™ also comes with two independent, conventional ultrasonic testing channels, allowing TOFD inspection on welds with thickness ranging from a few millimeters to more than 50 mm.
