Parker 230VAC Magnetic Particle Inspection Handy Yoke Magnetic Particle Inspection HCDX-230

The HCDX-230 series is a durable, high-strength AC, AC/DC, DC magnetic yoke designed to detect surface and sub-surface indications in the most rugged applications.

Featuring sealed chemical-resistant construction, articulating legs to contour to any part shape and robust strain-relieved twelve-foot cord for field use, the HCDX-230 is ideal for inspection of welds and other remote testing.

Solid-state controls allow the operator to use AC magnetic fields for surface indications or DC magnetic fields for sub-surface indications to meet all inspection needs.

The charging type magnetic particle flaw detector has the characteristics of compact structure, reasonable layout, small size, light weight and convenient portability. The flaw detector can be used directly in alternating current, and can also be used for AC magnetization power supply (AC battery pack) and DC magnetized power supply (DC-AC inverter battery pack), which is efficient and portable. It is suitable for hull weld inspection, high altitude steel structure weld detection and pressure vessel internal operation. This instrument is suitable for steel structure parts of power, metallurgy, petrochemical, machinery and other industries, such as boiler, pressure vessel, pressure pipe, ship body weld and welding structure of various types of ferromagnetic material surface and magnetic particle flaw detection of near surface defect.

This instrument conforms to the standard requirements of JB/T7411-2012, ASME BPVC,ASTM E709,ASTM E1444,ASTM E3024."electromagnetic yoke flaw detector technical condition".

Product features

Sealed, durable construction

Chemical and abrasion resistant

AC and DC operation options for surface and sub-surface inspection

Exceeds ASTM lifting specifications

The three modes of power supply can be freely chosen:

There are places directly connected to AC power supply, which can be directly connected with AC power supply.

It is possible to use AC magnetized power supply (DC-AC inverter battery pack) to supply AC power without any direct insertion to AC power supply.

The DC magnetizing power supply (DC battery pack) can be used to realize the DC magnetization function.

AC magnetizing power supply (DC-AC inverter battery pack) has the functions of voltage regulation, overcharge, over current and over discharge.

When the lifting force is not enough, the power is automatically cut off to ensure the sensitivity of flaw detection.

The power display function can display the current battery power, and has the function of sound and light alarm.

Built in microcomputer chip to stabilize output voltage and ensure detection sensitivity.

Adjustable magnetization

Special working waist bag can carry battery pack, magnetic suspension, contrast agent, yoke probe, etc.

Principles and Applications

3.1 Charging(with charger or accumulator-HCDX-230 AC-DC,HCDX-230 DC):

Connect charger to power supply or connect charger to accumulator box with cable. 3 tubes will indicate charged state while charging. The red indicates quickly charged, the yellow indicates slowly charged (may continuously charge for 4 hours) and the green indicates 14 volts already charged. If the tube indicates yellow at start, it can be continuously charged but totally not more than 15 hours.

3.2 Accumulator

Accumulator is the power supply of probe. After turn on the switch, the monitoring circle is working. When voltage is over 10.4V, the tube turns green and means power normally supplied. When voltage is reached to 10.4V, the tube turns red flash and means voltage is reached to 10.4V, the tube turns red flash and means voltage is not enough. When voltage is at 10.2V, means self-protection is started and power supply to the probe soon stopped. When the tube continuously red flash, means voltage is not enough. Therefore, the working switch should be turn off and the accumulator should be power recharged.

3.3Fault detection

A:When detect it with DC (suitable for HCDX-230 DC,HCDX-230 AC-DC):

1. Connect probe with cell, when the working switch at position “on” means power is supplied to the probe.
2. Put the probe on work-piece to be detected and keep it well touched.
3. Push down the button of probe and spray magnetic powder or magnetic suspension liquid to the area to be detected at the same time and keep it for 2~3seconds.
4. Release the button of probe and move the probe away and observe the working result carefully.
5. Move the probe to another area to be detected and repeat the working steps according to 3)and 4) above.

B:When detect it with AC(suitable for HCDX-230,HCDX-230E AC-DC,HCDX-230 AC-DC)

1. Put the plug into the socket which should be contacted the earth.
2. Reference to the working steps 3)and 4) of the Dc when detected.
3. The implementation of testing using the HCDX-230E, the exchange of the work piece when the selection switch for the exchange of inspection, when placed in the DC to DC testing. Non-magnetic state in the conversion pass selector switch.

4. Maintenance

1)The charging duration is not over 15 hours for each time when charging with charging device. Disconnect the battery cable form charging device or turn off the accumulator switch to proven the current flow reversed.

2)It should be charged as quickly as possible when voltage of accumulator is not enough.

3)It should be charged for every 2~3 months when the detector is not used for a long time , so as to guarantee serviceable life of the accumulator.

4)While the probe is used, time of power supplied general 2~3 seconds for each time and maximum is not over 5 seconds. Time of interval is 3~5 seconds.

5)The rust-proof agent should be added when magnetic suspension liquid used.

6)Some oil lubricant should be added at moving joint before the probe used. The water, oil and magnetic particles on moving joint should be cleaned out and rust-proof oil should be smear after the probe used.

7)The power supply should meet the requirements of indications and in good earth contacted when detected with AC.

8)The switch should be released when moving the probe, so as not resulted of heat to the detector.

9)Short break is necessary if the detector continuously worked or obviously heated.

10)Working with the detector, it is not allowed under high temperature, high humidity or raining. The magnetic suspension liquid is not allowed sprayed on the switch, plug or sockets.
