TECHNOLOGY OF TST
Comments from Our Scientists
The core ofTST detection technology is the electromagnetic (EM) sensor technology for the
non-destructive test of the ferromagnetic objects. The focus of the test is to detect the EM field signal
induced by the target and recognize the featured flaw signals through regulating and detecting process.
'Regulating' refers to the process that the system regulates the magnetic field ofthe target object to build
an optimized detecting environment. Detecting process means that the sensors can thus recognize the
featured flaw signals according to the encoded regulation. The theoretical detecting sensitivity and
resolution of the system can be as high as 0.3 gauss and 1 MHz, which means that the sensor is sensitive to a
magnetic field with a magnitude of the earth field and can scan 1 million times per second. The advantage of
such a high sensitivity and high resolution is that all different types of flaws on the target will be detected
from internally and externally, and the speed ofthe detection can meet the requirements of real-time
detection for fast moving wire ropes in operation. Our advanced magnetic sensor technique also ensures that
the noise signals are effectively screened out so that we could develop an accurate pattern recognition model
for system automation and intelligent computer evaluation.
What is TST-FDSys™and TST-FDSol™?
TST-FDSysrM ---The system is created by TSTscientists and engineers to automatically detect the physical flaws on
the wire ropes and steel-cord conveyor belts. Given the detected flaw data, the system can thus make evaluations of
the safety status and operating performance of the targets. For the on site engineers and operating managers,
TST-FDSysrM will provide both realtime inspection monitor alongside the producing operation and comprehensive
report at the end of per detection task. Therefore, flaws on the detecting target will be noticed instantly wherever it
appears and the automatically generated report will demonstrate the overall status of the target with detailed analysis
of each detected flaw.
TST-FDSolrM ---A solution package is crafted on basis ofTST-FDSysrM detection expertise and operation management
expertise to provide our customers with not only safety but also measurable economic benefits beyond the technical scope.
Our safety inspection experts and industrial operation analysts work closely with our customers to search for effective
execution plans to improve wire rope safety and operation efficiency.ln all cases where our solution is applied, real benefits
are continually being created. Safety hazards are controlled. Safety issues are managed. Maintenance downtime for wire
ropes and steel cord conveyor belts maintenance is greatly reduced. More producing power is released. The costs associated
with wire rope and steel cord conveyor belt maintenance is reduced.
How does TST-FDSys™ Work?
The architecture of the system comprises the sensor-set, hardware infrastructure and software. In TST terminology, these units are
named as WiSensorrM, lnfoBridgerM and T-ArithmeticarM.
The detection process is:
1. Detection is conducted under a regulated environment
2. Raw signals are captured by WiSensorrM.
3. WiSensor delivers the raw data to the lnfoBridgerM.
4. The lnfoBridge integrates and processes the data from different WiSensor channels.
5. T-ArithmeticTM calculates and transforms the processed information into analytical results and visual reconstruction of flaws as:
'Flaw Type', 'Flaw Position', 'Flaw Severity' and 'Simulated Flaw Image'.
Why TST-FDSol™?
• High detection efficiency and effectiveness
• Realtime & Fulltime safety
• Real system automation
• Real computer intelligent evaluation and report
• Comprehensive knowhow package
• Real cost reduction
• Real maintenance improvement

CASE STUDY
Offshore Drilling Platform TST Flaw Detection System- Portable 2012.7
The wire rope inspection service provider, PST, Singapore used TST FDS Portable- TSX1142 to
implement a wire rope inspection project for the crane wire rope on an offshore drilling platform. The
total inspection rope length is around 500 meters. This assignment was carried out by 1 inspection
technician under a 3-round procedure. The actual inspection time is around 2 hours. The inspection report
was provided to the end user instantly according to the detection report generated by TST FDS Portable
on site. The end user is satisfied with the effectiveness and the efficiency delivered by TST FDS to the
inspection business.
CJS Coal Mine,Shanxi,China TST FDS Portable 2013.8
CJS Coal Mine applied TST FDS Portable Solution- TSX1180 (Explosion-proof) for the inspection of their large size
(80mm) coal mine hoist wire rope. In the package, we provided solutions to training, inspecting, managing, reporting
and upgrading for our customer. The customer's wire rope maintenance operation is enhanced by TST FDS. The safety
hazards are controlled and operation efficiency is improved.
Shenhua Group, China TST FDS Realtime 2013.7
In this case, the detection target is the endless wire rope for the rope winch system which is similar to the cableway winch. It's
used for the transportation of miners between ground and underground mining sites.
TST team made a customized design for the physical installation and detection strategy. The functions realized by TST FDS
Realtime- TSG21 01 H include fulltime and realtime inspection of wire rope, instant monitor and control of detection process, alarm
and emergency protocol, instant and scheduled detection reports, historical data analysis.
This case is the first time in the world that a realtime wire rope flaw detection solution is successfully applied to the endless rope
winch system (passenger monkey car).

8. SDIC XINJI Energy Co., Ltd TST FDS Realtime 2011.3
TST FDS Realtime has a strong data integration and analysis capability. In this case, the target is using a 4 rope ground hoisting system.
We provide detection reports for each rope separately and for the 4-rope system correlatively. The deterioration trend for each
identified flaw will also be analyzed in the historical database.
Yima Coal Mine Group, China TST FDS Conveyor Belt 2013.11
This is a realtime conveyor belt inspection case for a 2000 meter long, 1.2 meter wide underground mining conveyor belt
system. Before the TST Flaw Detection System, there wasn't any effective way to inspect the conveyor belt steel cords and
splices in realtime. The maintenance of conveyor belt had been a time and resource costly job. In the first 3 month trial
period after installation, broken cords and splice defects were quantitatively identified and accurately located. The
deterioration trend of splice defects was also analyzed and evaluated. The detection functions have been fully
approved for the steel cord belt after the trial.
Tongde Coal Mine TST FDS Conveyor Belt 2013.6
The mechanical installation ofTST FDS Conveyor Belt must fulfill the following criteria. The normal operation
of conveyor belt cannot be interrupted or compromised. On site safety regulations cannot be violated.
Operations respecting conveyor belt system maintenance cannot be obstructed. The design of our
reatlime conveyor belt flaw detection system is approved to meet such criteria for a 3000 meter long, 1.2
meter wide conveyor belt in this case. The safety management oft he target is materially enhanced.
