Olympus FlexoFORM Scanner
Pine Item #52172
The innovative FlexoFORM™ scanner makes challenging pipe elbow corrosion inspection easier. With flexible phased array technology, one probe is all you need to cover the full range of elbow diameters.
Pipe elbows are susceptible to damage, such as from flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC). However, inspecting them poses unique challenges. Because their surface shape changes from convex on the extrados (outside curve) to concave on the intrados (inside curve), and because many diameter standards exist, ultrasonic testing to evaluate damage in the elbow was limited to doing spot check thickness measurements using probes with small footprints.
The FlexoFORM™ solution solves the challenges of pipe elbow inspection and enables 100% coverage with intuitive C-scan imaging. The solution integrates flexible ultrasonic phased array probe technology and a water column in a scanner that is easy to use and offers high productivity
