Semi-Automated Corrosion Inspection

The PaintBrush2 has set a new market benchmark for corrosion mapping. This extremely agile and patent-protected scanner performs both flat and curved surface inspections, increasing inspection confidence by providing 100% area coverage.

The product's intuitive operation makes corrosion mapping quick and straightforward. Coupled with the Cypher® ultrasonic instrument — featuring a wealth of corrosion specific features.

Designed to meet a wide range of demanding inspection requirements, the PaintBrush2 pushes boundaries. With an extensive operating temperature range up to 150°C / 302°F, broad probe compatibility, and the freedom to collect data without grid constraints, it adapts to diverse inspection scenarios with precision and flexibility.

Semi-Automated Corrosion and Weld Inspection

The handheld NDT Sweeper is a compact, manually operated encoded scanner designed for flat and curved composite or carbon steel components, suiting diameters ranging from 4 in (100 mm) to flat plate.

Its small, lightweight, and ergonomic design allows operators to perform inspections in confined or difficult-to-reach areas, reducing the need to deploy an automatic scanner. Both axes are encoded, eliminating the need to draw an index line on the specimen during scanning. When inspecting horizontal cylindrical components, the scanner is intended for use on the upper half or sidewall of the pipe. Full circumferential inspection may be achieved by applying controlled positive pressure to the probe to maintain adequate coupling and mechanical support.

Semi-Automated Carbon Steel Weld Inspection

This highly adaptable weld inspection system for ferrous materials supports up to four Phased Array (PA) and/or Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) probes. Designed with versatile, precision-adjustable toolposts, the scanner ensures exceptional probe placement accuracy across multiple configurations. Its adjustable spring load minimizes setup adjustments, making it ideal for any weld inspection requirement.

For longitudinal weld inspections, the innovative long seam system efficiently handles both long and circumferential welds, providing the perfect solution for seam weld inspection, including applications like excavations and Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) seams.

Semi-Automated Non-Ferrous Weld Inspection

When faced with the challenge of inspecting non-ferrous materials, the advanced chain scanner ensures exceptional alignment, stability, and precise encoded probe positioning. This versatile scanner accommodates a wide range of materials, including austenitic steel, glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP/GRP), carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP/CRP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and various plastics. Multiple configurations are available to suit diverse inspection requirements.

Semi-Automated Bore Tube – Small Bore Weld Inspection

The ultra-low-profile, single- and dual-sided scanner solution provides high-quality inspection results, essential for ensuring weld integrity and maintaining the safety and reliability of components throughout their lifespan. While radiography was once the primary inspection method, Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) has become the preferred approach for its accuracy and efficiency. This scanner enables rapid, precise encoded probe positioning for circumferential inspections of small-diameter pipes and tubes.

Semi-Automated High Temperature Weld Inspection

Reduce operational risk and boost productivity with on-stream asset intelligence, even at continuous use temperatures up to 350°C (662°F). Conduct weld inspections on hot, active assets without the need for shutdowns or isolation.

Semi-Automated Nozzle Inspection

A versatile manual scanning solution designed specifically for inspecting nozzle welds, compatible with both two-axis and three-axis instruments. Adaptable to a broad range of 90-degree nozzle sizes starting from 76.2mm (3in) and suitable for ferritic and austenitic materials. The nozzle scanner offers native compatibility with the Gekko system and requires only 127mm (5in) of clearance.

String Encoder for Entry Level Inspection

Wire encoder incremental. Standard linearity of +/-0.20%. 26.6 stp/mm. 3M pull length and integrated base magnet, with options to add additional magnetic adhesion for Pipework, Vacuum cups, Bench mounts and C-Clamp available.
