LOW PROFILE RINGS (SLINKY)

 

The ultra low profile ring or “Slinky” was specifically designed to be able to fit around pipes that have a very limited radial clearance, like those commonly found in culverts or pipe racks. Typically less than 25 mm of clearance is required to be able to mount the rings.Due to their design, the low profile rings cover a smaller pipe size range than the traditional solid rings. The standard low profile rings are configured for API nominal pipe sizes (within an API 5L tolerance).These ultra low profile transducer rings are suitable for low clearance inspection of:

  • Bare / Painted Pipes
  • Sleeved Pipes
  • Insulated Pipes
