Welding seam inspection of small diameter pipe fittings
When used with the COBRA manual scanner, the OmniScan flaw detector can detect pipe fittings with an outer diameter range of 0.84 inches to 4.5 inches. The appearance of this manual scanner is extremely narrow, so it can enter narrow spaces to inspect pipelines. The distance between the tested pipe and its surrounding objects, such as pipes, brackets, or frames, can be as small as 12 millimeters (0.5 inches).

This software has multiple functions and can easily and quickly develop comprehensive testing plans, which can be directly imported into the OmniScan MX2 instrument.
Suitable wedges and probes can be selected from the Olympus workpiece database
Real time simulation of the propagation trajectory of sound beams in materials
The condition of the workpiece, probe, weld seam, and sound beam can be displayed and adjusted in different views, such as side view, end view, top view, or 3D view
It can reflect the most commonly tested materials and workpieces, such as the circumferential or axial areas of flat plates and welded pipelines
Can copy and display existing groups in a mirrored manner, allowing for quick completion of multi probe configurations
Set up using OmniScan MX2 instrument
The most effective way to create settings is to simulate them in NDT Setup Builder and then import them directly into OmniScan using an SD card or USB key. Before collecting, only a few basic operations need to be performed in the instrument, such as setting the gate and range. Due to the following features of OmniScan, users can also easily create settings in the instrument:
Automatic probe recognition
Intuitive guide, interactive help menu to guide users through every step of setting up and creating
Welding seam coverage and sound ray tracking simulation

calibration
To complete a standardized inspection, the calibration wizard in the instrument ensures that each focusing rule in each group is directly equivalent to a single channel conventional flaw detector. Users will receive step-by-step guidance from the wizard during the required calibration process. The calibrated items include sound velocity, wedge delay, sensitivity, TCG, DAC, AWS, and encoder. Now, the instrument can automatically perform TOFD PCS calibration and straight wave straightening operations.
collect
The OmniScan MX2 allows for easy configuration of detection parameters during manual, single line, or raster encoded scanning. The collected data can be displayed in real-time on the screen in different viewing formats, and users can also store the data in SD cards or USB 2.0 devices with hot swappable functions.

Using OmniPC for data analysis
OmniPC is a new software program that not only has the same user interface, analysis capabilities, and reporting capabilities as OmniScan, but also has greater flexibility to run on personal computers.
By using OmniPC, the OmniScan instrument can perform centralized scanning operations, and users can analyze the collected data on their personal computers. This software can also be used with a large screen to improve image visibility, and the shortcuts on the computer keyboard make operations faster.
Using OmniScan MX2 for data analysis
The data cursor, reference cursor, and measurement cursor are used for the quantification of defects.
Expanded database, pre-defined list of trigonometric parameters, statistical data of defects relative to the axis, volume position information, qualification standards based on specifications, and statistical data of corrosion imaging, etc.

UT2 TOFD module and MXU software
Olympus' new OmniScan MX2 UT2 module embodies a powerful and cost-effective TOFD detection solution. Its improved hardware and software features enable users to use TOFD technology more quickly and conveniently to complete weld inspection. Its advanced signal-to-noise ratio ensures the best data quality for TOFD detection.
Improved features
TOFD Wizard
PCS calibration
Clear B-scan
Multi TOFD layout
Direct wave straightening
Higher PRF in TOFD group
Higher voltage (up to 340 V) eliminates the need for preamplifiers
These improved features enable faster and easier setup, enhance the collection display effect, more accurately quantify defects, and thus improve overall productivity.
Multi TOFD layout
The new multi TOFD layout can display more than one group at a time. This can facilitate the localization and quantification of defect indications by observing the interrelationships between groups.
Direct wave straightening
The straight wave straightening tool provides users with a more coherent display view, making it easier for them to interpret the content in the view. The direct wave straightening function can also more accurately evaluate the depth and size of defects.
Original TOFD data
TOFD data after straight wave straightening
The software improvement features mentioned above have also been integrated into the OmniPC software, allowing users to analyze data on a PC while also being able to re install OmniScan for another data collection operation.
Specialized scanners and accessories
HST Lite TOFD Scanner
The new HST Lite scanner is the perfect choice for single channel TOFD detection that emphasizes signal quality and offers high cost-effectiveness. The combination of the magnetic wheel and the spring-loaded probe bracket provides excellent stability required for high-quality single line detection of the scanner. The scanner can be operated with one hand and can also be attached to ferromagnetic surfaces, even when the scanner body is facing the ground.
Stainless steel TOFD wedge block
The HST Lite purchased as a set comes standard with a new stainless steel TOFD wedge block. These wedges are considered to be extremely important upgraded products derived from ordinary Rexolite wedges, and are a better choice for most applications. These wedges have multiple advantageous characteristics:
Better anti-wear performance, no need to adjust the anti-wear nail of the hard alloy strip
Better coupling effect, as the use of hard alloy strip wear-resistant nails can lift the wedge block from the surface
A shorter contact distance (3 millimeters) can better cover the top of the weld seam
More sturdy and durable, with a longer service life
The new stainless steel wedge (left side) has a shorter contact distance (3 millimeters), which can better cover the weld area.
These wedges are compatible with Olympus' high-performance TOFD series probes.
Perform TOFD inspection on small pipelines
Another type of TOFD series wedge specially designed for use with mature COBRA scanners can be used for detection applications with narrow operating spaces. These wedges can be used with ST1 probes with a chip diameter of 3 millimeters to inspect pipelines ranging from 1 inch to 4.5 inches in diameter. These wedges have various longitudinal wave refraction angles, and users can order wedges of specific diameters or a wedge set that includes all diameters.
The COBRA small diameter pipeline scanner can use appropriate wedges, cables, and probes for TOFD detection.
