Ultrasonic Examination of Cylinders (UE)

Ultrasonic examination (UE) is a popular and reliable test method for portable gas cylinders.
UE offers minimum down time and limited to zero risk of contamination since residuals do not need to be drained, cylinders are not de-valved thus not exposing the cylinder to moisture or contaminants. It also provides a more detailed analysis than the standard hydrotest. It is also not affected by a temperature change like a hydrotest.

CMS Calibration Cylinders Overview

Calibration cylinders are used to set the UE system ready for testing of cylinders specific to their build, size and material.

UE System Ready for Testing

Once the calibration piece is selected and used to calibrate in the machine, the system is ready for testing.
