Olympus Introduces Powerful Ultrasound Phased Array Solutions for the Inspection of Internally Corroded Pipes and Plates
Posted: 2015-7-19
Olympus, a world leader in nondestructive testing technologies, has released
powerful phased array ultrasound solutions designed to offer efficient
inspection options for the detection of wall thickness loss due to corrosion,
abrasion, or erosion. These solutions include two new scanners and
improved versions of SetupBuilder and MXU 4.2 software for use with the
OmniScan phased array flaw detector.
The new MapROVER is a fully automated, motorized 2-axis corrosion
mapping scanner. When combined with the HydroFORM phased array
corrosion mapping solution, the MapROVER is a powerful tool for C-Scan
imaging of remaining wall thickness and mid wall anomalies. Four magnetic
wheels are motorized for constant data acquisition up to 147 mm/s, while
the motorized raster arm enables a 600 mm scan width travelling at a speed
up to 900 mm/s. Touch screen remote control with two joysticks allows jog
or constant encoded motion as well as two different choices of complete
automatic raster scan patterns.
The new MapSCANNER is a semi-automated 2-axis corrosion inspection
scanner. When combined with the HydroFORM or Dual Linear Array (DLA)
phased array corrosion mapping solutions, the MapSCANNER is a powerful,
efficient tool for C-Scan imaging of remaining wall thickness and mid wall
anomalies. With its wide scanning capability and quick indexing system, the
MapSCANNER is an ideal scanner for customers requiring a high production
rate with a phased array semi-automated corrosion mapping system.
The new OmniScan MXU 4.2 software has a full range of tools and displays
for corrosion mapping applications including the new Export C-scan
function, which is compatible with third-party software. This new software
version also introduces simplified wizards for easy and fast setup and
calibration. Additional features include minimum thickness monitoring during
inspection, full high-resolution A-scan storage, A-scan synchronization on
the interface echo, and amplitude and position C-scan capability for two
gates.
By bringing automated and semi-automated phased array solutions into the
corrosion inspection market, Olympus has not only introduced a new
technology, but also new solutions resulting in inspectors to be more
productive and collect higher resolution inspection data.
