Overview
The Evident HST-X04 time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) manual scanner offers an efficient, low-cost, and versatile weld inspection solution.
Applications
- Manually deployed single-axis scanner for use on plate, pipe, and curved surfaces
- Applicable to pipes, pressure vessels, storage tanks, and structural components
- Operates in any orientation, either on flat surfaces or on pipes up to 51-mm (2 in.) OD.
Data acquisition
- Permanent record of the results with the OmniScan®
- Ideal for position-related A-scan, B-scan, and echo-dynamic scan data collection
- Suitable for any system with 2 UT channels
Scanner Kit Components
- Scanner with 150-mm frame
- Two 10-MHz (3-mm element diameter) CentraScan™ composite TOFD probes offering signal-to-noise ratio improvement over conventional UT probes
- Three sets of ST1 wedges with carbide wear pins and irrigation holes for 45º, 60º, and 70º operation
- Two LEMO®-Microdot® transducer cables 2.5m long
- Two LEMO®-to-BNC adapters
- Spring-loaded, friction-driven, and water proof Mini-Wheel encoder for X-axis or Y-axis data encoding
- Brackets for flexible encoder positioning
- Additional 250-mm frame for wider probe center separation
- Foam-padded carrying case
