FAQs
What is the WAND-HDC?
The WAND Handheld Data Collector (WAND-HDC) is a portable device used to collect ultrasonic wall thickness measurements from permanently installed WAND TM Sensors. It wirelessly activates the sensor and displays the thickness reading, ultrasonic A-scan and sensor identification information on the device.
How quickly does the WAND-HDC take a wall thickness reading?
A wall thickness measurement takes around one second to acquire, allowing operators to move quickly between installed WAND TM Sensor locations during inspections.
Do I need ultrasonic testing experience to use the WAND-HDC?
The WAND-HDC is designed to make ultrasonic thickness data collection simple and requires minimal training. Thickness values, A-scan data and RFID sensor information are displayed through the device interface, with measurements collected at the press of a button.
How many readings can the WAND-HDC store?
The WAND-HDC can store up to 5,000 wall thickness readings and sensor locations, supporting larger inspection campaigns without needing to transfer data after every measurement.
Can the WAND-HDC collect readings from sensors at height?
Yes. The WAND-HDC can be used with the REACH accessory to collect measurements from WAND TM Sensors installed at height or in other difficult-to-access locations. REACH extends up to 14.1 ft, helping reduce the need for ladders, scaffolding or rope access for routine monitoring.
How do I transfer WAND-HDC data to iDART?
The WAND-HDC connects to the desktop version of iDART via USB. Collected wall thickness data can then be managed, reviewed and analyzed alongside other WAND monitoring data.
