OmniScan MX2 Product Overview

Chris Magruder and Francois-Come Beaupre discuss some of the features of the new Omniscan MX2.

This webinar provides a brief overview of the physics of phased array ultrasound and demonstrates the benefits of this innovative technology for the inspection of small diameter piping in new construction or during the maintenance of boilers, heaters, cracking furnaces and other piping systems. Although radiography has been the inspection tool of choice for many years for these inspections, this 45-minute presentation discusses the many advantages of phased array ultrasound: mainly faster and safer inspections without shutting down the work area around the inspection and providing additional flaw measurement capability over radiography. The latest advances in portable semi-automated ultrasonic systems along with low-profile scanners, probes and wedges optimized for small diameter piping are important factors that have contributed to the acceptance of phased array in the petrochemical and related industries.

Tune in to this webinar and hear from our expert at Olympus on the latest solutions for the nondestructive testing of pipes and vessels for wall thickness loss due to corrosion or erosion. The HydroFORM and RexofFORM systems built for the OmniScan MX2 phased array flaw detector are designed to bring encoded corrosion mapping capability without the use of high-speed computer-based mechanical raster scanners.

PipeWIZARD V4 – Speed up inspection productivity using calibration boxes to get instant verdict and automatic beams adjustment.

MXU 4.4 software adds the ability to create setups for long seam weld inspection directly on the OmniScan® flaw detector. This type of inspection is made possible by an improved Parts & Weld Wizard and focal law calculator in the instrument. To visualize defects in a curved part, the R-scan will show the corrected position in the part according to the signal in the gate.

Creating compound scans onboard your instrument using MXU 4.4 software makes it simple to set up the scan without having to use a PC. A compound scan can reduce the number of acquisition scans per day by a factor of two or more compared the equivalent coverage using a sectorial scan.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a method using frictional heat created by a rotating tool to join two parts. When errors occur, such as excessive or insufficient heating, the FSW process can introduce various flaws at different locations in the weld. Olympus has developed a fully automated solution to inspect friction stir welds in fuel tanks fabricated for the aerospace industry. See how this phased array (PA) inspection system provides complete inspection coverage of friction stir welds in large tanks, reliably and efficiently.
