COBRA Manual Scanner

COBRA scanner for 0.84 in to 4.5 in OD pipes inspection with encoder and irrigation parts, and setup templates. The encoder cable is 2.5m with Lemo connector compatible with current generation of…

  • Covers standard pipes from 0.84 in. to 4.5 in. OD (21 mm to 114 mm).
  • Operates within 12 mm (0.5 in.) clearance (on all standard pipes), permitting inspections in limited access areas.
  • Holds up to two phased array probes for complete weld coverage in one pass.
  • Easy installation and manipulation from one side of a row of pipes.

Features

  • Covers standard pipes from 0.84 in. to 4.5 in. OD (21 mm to 114 mm).
  • Operates within 12 mm (0.5 in.) clearance (on all standard pipes), permitting inspections in limited access areas.
  • Holds up to two phased array probes for complete weld coverage in one pass.
  • Easy installation and manipulation from one side of a row of pipes.
  • Can be configured to perform one-sided inspections for pipe-to-component evaluations.
  • The included mechanical setup templates eliminate the need for pipe samples when preparing the scanner for standard pipes.
  • The design provides stable and constant pressure around the full circumference of the pipe.
  • Urethane wheels provide smooth radial movement and limited axial drift.
  • Encoder resolution of 32 steps/mm.
  • Compact, lightweight, and portable.
  • Wedges and probes can be changed quickly and easily.
  • The distance between probes can be adjusted from 0 mm to 55 mm.
  • The spring-loaded scanner can be used on ferromagnetic and nonferromagnetic pipes.
  • Waterproof and rust free.
