Olympus HydroFORM Corrosion Inspection Scanners - NEW

An easy-to-deploy 2-axis encoding phased array (PA) solution, the semiautomated HydroFORM™ scanner enables fast and reliable wall-thickness mapping and midwall damage detection by acquiring high-resolution data of large surfaces in minimal time. To optimize the productivity of raster scanning, the HydroFORM system is equipped with several efficiency-boosting features: Integrated X and Y axis encoders Smart indexing button Index position and coupling indicators Scan speed check Efficient bubble management Easy-to-index magnetic wheels Braking system Easily adapting to curvatures 4 in. OD (101 mm) and greater, this PA solution facilitates a wide range of applications including: Monitoring wall-thickness reductions due to corrosion, abrasion, and erosion Detecting midwall damage, such as hydrogen-induced blistering or manufacturing-induced lamination, and differentiating these anomalies from loss of wall thickness High-Performance Corrosion Mapping for Rough and Uneven Surfaces Achieve immersion-tank-quality phased array inspection without concerns about water coupling. The HydroFORM scanner's unique low-flow water-column design with foam gaskets conforms to the surface, eliminating the need for a wedge. Other innovative features of the HydroFORM water-coupling system: Coupling check LED indicates when the water supply is too low Gasket protector to prolong the use-life ScanDeck™ Module Integrated Controls and Status Indicators The ScanDeck module is like your scanning dashboard, situated directly in your eyeline while you operate the HydroFORM scanner. Using a combined HydroFORM and OmniScan™ X3 series solution, you fully benefit from all the functionalities of the ScanDeck module. Control button: Start the data acquisition on the OmniScan X3 unit Switch between guided and freehand scanning modes Toggle between index and scan axis scanning Indicator LEDs: Index position guidance Insufficient coupling warning Alert when maximum scan speed exceeded Active encoder (X or Y) Complete PA Solution HydroFORM Scanner and OmniScan™ X3 Series By combining a water column system with gate synchronization on the interface echo available in the OmniScan X3 software, the HydroFORM provides optimum near-surface resolution, precision measurements, and an enormous improvement in flaw characterization over conventional UT. Easy gate synchronization with the front wall for quick remaining wall assessment Optimized coupling Wedge reflection and frequency filtering is eliminated Provides excellent near-surface resolution Up to 1mm x 1mm resolution Olympus HydroFORM Corrosion Inspection Scanners - NEW
