Inspection scanner HydroFORM

for pipesfor the aeronautical industryX-ray

An easy-to-deploy 2-axis encoding phased array (PA) solution, the semiautomated HydroFORM scanner enables fast and reliable wall-thickness mapping and midwall damage detection by acquiring high-resolution data of large surfaces in minimal time. To optimize the productivity of raster scanning, the HydroFORM system is equipped with several efficiency-boosting features: Integrated X and Y axis encoders Smart indexing button Index position and coupling indicators Scan speed check Efficient bubble management Easy-to-index magnetic wheels Braking system Easily adapting to curvatures 4 in. OD (101 mm) and greater, this PA solution facilitates a wide range of applications including: Monitoring wall-thickness reductions due to corrosion, abrasion, and erosion Detecting midwall damage, such as hydrogen-induced blistering or manufacturing-induced lamination, and differentiating these anomalies from loss of wall thickness High-Performance Corrosion Mapping for Rough and Uneven Surfaces Achieve immersion-tank-quality phased array inspection without concerns about water coupling. The HydroFORM scanners unique low-flow water-column design with foam gaskets conforms to the surface, eliminating the need for a wedge. Other innovative features of the HydroFORM water-coupling system: Coupling check LED indicates when the water supply is too low Gasket protector to prolong the use-life ScanDeck Module Integrated Controls and Status Indicators The ScanDeck module is like your scanning dashboard, situated directly in your eyeline while you operate the HydroFORM scanner.
