Hamamatsu Introduces Radiation Line Sensor for Non-Invasive Inspection of Pipe Wall Thinning in Industrial Plants

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.
