Olympus HydroFORM Corrosion Detection Scanner

Olympus has developed a semi-automatic phased array solution for corrosion detection, which not only introduces a new technology to the corrosion detection market, but also presents a promising prospect for users. This technology allows users to bid farewell to the unsafe and unreliable mobile grating scanning using small UT probes; The use of phased array probes can cover a larger surface and manually move the phased array probe at a safe speed. This solution not only improves detection efficiency, but also enables the collection of data with higher resolution.

HydroFORM and RexoFORMThe design purpose is to provide a good detection scheme for detecting wall thickness reduction caused by corrosion, abrasion, and erosion. In addition, our detection scheme can also detect damage inside the wall, such as hydrogen induced foaming or delamination generated during the manufacturing process, and can easily distinguish these abnormal phenomena from wall thickness reduction.

Both scanners come with a unique quick adjustment device that allows the wedge/probe assembly to tightly engage with any curved surface with an outer diameter greater than 101 millimeters (4 inches).

It is very convenient to perform gate synchronization relative to surface echoes for corrosion monitoring of outer and inner walls.
Removed wedge reflection.
Optimized the coupling conditions.
Superior near surface resolution.
The development of HydroFORM is based on the ingenious concept of water column, which does not require the use of wedges and has the advantages of phased array immersion tank detection. This concept utilizes a small amount of gentle water flow and consumable pads to achieve a tight bond between the probe and the detection surface, and obtain good coupling conditions, even if the detection surface is very rough.

utilizeOmniScanThe software provides the function of synchronizing gate and interface echoes, and HydroFORM can provide optimized near surface resolution, * * measurement data, and significant advantages over conventional ultrasound in defect characterization.
