Using phased array ultrasound technology,

the HydroFORM offers high resolution


and fast coverage. The HydroFORM has a
60mm wide effective beam and can scan
at a speed up to 100mm/s.
In the current market place, motorized
scanners, combined with small conven-
tional UT probes, need to reach ever-high-
er raster speeds to be productive.
As a consequence of high speed raster
scanning, mechanical failures and poor ul-
trasonic data quality can occur. In addition,
high raster scan speed creates a potentially
unsafe environment for operators.
Increased production rate combined with
affordable equipment and compatibility
with existing Omniscan MXU acquisition
unit makes the HydroFORM a cost effec-
tive choice.
Hydroform uses an ingenious local immer-
sion concept allowing excellent surface
conformance and optimized coupling
conditions for front- and back-wall (OD/
ID) prole monitoring. No wedges are used
with the HydroFORM.
The phased array technology also brings
the ability to detect and characterize vari-
ous anomalies using ultrasonic compres-
sion wave and angle beam inspection
techniques.
The HydroFORM can be used:
Manually: with supplied application-spe-
cic Mini-Wheel encoder
Semi-automatically: used in conjunction
with the eld-proven CHAIN Scanner.
The combination of OmniScan, Hydro-
FORM and CHAIN Scanner creates a
battery-operated phased array corrosion
mapping system that is completely por-
table.
PHASED ARRAY CORROSION MAPPING
SOLUTION
HydroFORM
920-216A-EN
Patent-pending quick radius adjustment allows inspection of
different curvatures without changing the wedge. HydroFORM
also has an encoder necessary for manual inspections.
Manual and Semi-Automated Corrosion Mapping
The HydroFORM scanner is designed to offer the best inspection solution for wall thick-
ness reductions due to corrosion, abrasion, erosion, mid-wall hydrogen related damage and
manufacturing imperfections.
Features
First commercially available semi-
automated phased array product for
corrosion mapping applications.
- Covers a 60mm wide strip at a speed
up to 100mm/s, with a 1mm x 1mm
resolution
- Reduced probe raster movement
increases safety for operators and
improves mechanical reliability
Scanner concept creates a local immer-
sion technique that enables conforming
to rough and uneven surfaces.
- Easy synchronization on front wall for
OD and ID corrosion monitoring
- Wedge reection is eliminated
- Coupling is optimum
- Low water requirements
Patent-pending quick radius adjustment
allows inspection of different curvatures
without changing the wedge
- Convex surface: 4 in. OD, up to at
- Concave surface: 10 in. ID, up to at
HydroFORM can be attached to auto-
mated or semi-automated scanners
and used independently as a manual
scanner. .
Cost effective
Minimal tools required for normal operation
New Solution Using Instruments You Already OWN!
The HydroFORM corrosion mapping solution is based on multifunction instruments that
you may already use to perform weld inspection:
OmniScan PA aw detector
CHAIN Scanner
TomoView software
Reduce the idle time of these instruments; increase your ROI, and broaden your service
portfolio. The HydroFORM scanner is the perfect complement of your existing Olympus
equipment. In addition to weld inspection, you can now do corrosion mapping with mini-
mal investment.
