OmniScan SX Flaw Detector

Design

NDT SetupBuilder
NDT SetupBuilder design software is an integral part of our line of automated and semiautomated ultrasonic testing products. NDT supervisors can use NDT SetupBuilder software to simulate the inspection strategy to determine the appropriate number of beams and angles. This configuration can be imported into the OmniScan SX unit, reducing configuration time and manipulation errors.

We have devoted considerable effort to innovating and deploying a wide range of complete market solutions aimed at meeting customers’ needs.

Acquisition

OmniScan
OmniScan flaw detectors provide powerful inspection capabilities for manual and automated applications. They can be used with a full range of probes, scanners, and accessories, making us the provider of choice for petrochemical, aerospace, and other industrial markets.

Analysis and Reporting

OmniPC
OmniPC software is an efficient and affordable option for PC-based OmniScan data analysis, and features the same analysis and reporting tools provided in the OmniScan onboard software.

TomoView
TomoView 2.10 features advanced data processing, analysis and reporting tools that will allow you to get more out of your inspection data.

TomoView high-end features include:

• Volumetric merging for multigroup data visualization.
• C-scan merging for combined data representation.
• Signal-to-noise (SNR) analysis and optimization tools.
• Advanced offline data generation tools.

The most efficient way to create a setup is to perform the simulation in NDT SetupBuilder, and import it directly via SD card or USB key, to the OmniScan SX unit. Then, only a few basic operations are required in the flaw detector, such as setting the gate and range, before acquisition can begin. You can also easily create a setup right in the OmniScan unit, thanks to the following features:

• Automatic probe recognition.
• Intuitive wizards to guide the user through every step of the setup creation using the interactive help menu.
• Weld Overlay and RayTracing simulation.
• Group copy option for fast multiple-group configuration.

OmniPC software benefits from the same user interface and analysis and reporting features as the OmniScan onboard software, but with the added flexibility that comes from operating it on a PC.

By using OmniPC software for your analysis, the OmniScan unit can be dedicated to scanning, greatly increasing your workflow efficiency. This software can also be used in conjunction with extra large screens for increased visibility, and with keyboard shortcuts for faster operations.

The OmniScan SX PA model is at the heart of our manual and semiautomated phased array weld inspection solutions developed for the oil and gas industry. These systems can be used for inspection in compliance with ASME, API, and other code criteria, while offering high-speed detection capabilities, and facilitating indication interpretation.

Time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) is an easy and efficient approach for the primary detection of weld defects. It is quick, cost-effective and capable of sizing defects present in the volume of the weld, a problematic area for manufacturing defects.

Evident’ versatile weld solution uses a variety of techniques and scanning tools to achieve a productive and efficient inspection. Phased array, TOFD, and conventional ultrasonic techniques can be used alone or in combination to achieve full-weld coverage with high probability of detection.

Evident has a wide range of scanners to address fabrication or maintenance weld inspections needs. We have solutions for small pipes up to flat plates with the capacity to hold multiple probes for a complete weld volume coverage. Even if you choose a motorized or manual type, you will be amazed by their versatility, dependability and repeatability.

From couplant feed units to pulsers and preamplifiers, Evident offers multiple accessories to help improving data quality as well as ease and repeatability of inspections.

Welding inspection probes offer housings combined with a front or top exit cable to avoid interference with the scanner probe holder. These probes are suitable for manual and automated inspections of welds. Our A31 and A32 weld series phased array probes and wedges simplify and standardize weld inspections, offering an improved signal-to-noise ratio.

Our Dual Linear Array (DLA) and Dual Matrix Array (DMA) probes consist of two linear or matrix array probes wired to the same connector with the capacity to perform transmit-receive longitudinal (TRL) inspection. They are particularly helpful when testing cladded pipes or highly attenuating materials, or for applications with high-sensitivity requirements.

For high-temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) inspection, these optimized Dual Linear Array™ (DLA) and linear array probes enable earlier and more reliable detection through a combination of improved sensitivity, resolution, and image clarity with a wide coverage of the weld, HAZ, and parent materials.

The EdgeForm phased array solution enables automotive manufacturers to inspect for voids in bonded or glued seams in trunks, hoods, and door panels.

The universal probes are designed to have a low-profile probe/wedge combination for easier access in restricted areas. A wide selection of wedges is available to suit any angle beam application. These probes are used for manual or automated inspection of 6.35 mm to 38 mm thick welds and the inspections of castings, forgings, pipes, tubes, and machined and structural components for cracks and welding defects.

Deep penetration probes can be matched to a wide selection of wedges to suit any angle beam application. These probes are dedicated to deep penetration applications such as the inspection of thick plates and welds, forging, and noisy or granular material.

Curved array probes are made with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel case and are guaranteed waterproof up to 1 m underwater. The acoustic impedance of these probes matches water. They are compatible with adjustable immersion wedges and are used for the inspection of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) corners and in addition to the inspection of composite for delamination.

Integrated wedge and code compliant probes combine the probe and the wedge in the same housing, offering the lowest-profile probe-and-wedge combination for contact angle beam inspection. Coupling is always good between probe and wedge interfaces, as there is no need for couplant between the probe and wedge. These probes are used for manual weld inspection using 40° to 70° simultaneously in addition to manual inspection of stress-corrosion cracking and AWS and DGS code compliant applications.
