Hamamatsu Introduces Radiation Line Sensor for Non-Invasive Inspection of Pipe Wall Thinning in Industrial Plants
17 Nov 2014Product news
Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. has developed an energy-discriminating radiation line sensor (part number: C13247), which features a direct conversion type semiconductor, to inspect pipe wall thinning due to corrosion. The product will be available from 1st December 2014 to companies that provide inspection services to facilities such as petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, and power plants. In addition, Hamamatsu will offer customization of the line sensor, such as the sensitivity (pixel size) of the sensor, based on customer requirements.

Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples.
