Comments
-
The RayTracing is only a graphical representation of the readings approved by the operator.
Reporting
The OmniScan MX2 is designed to inspect, analyze, and generate reports directly on the instrument, or off-line on a computer.
• The reports created on the OmniScan include an indication
table that can be customized with additional readings and comments specific to each indication.
• RayTracing tools are included to represent indication positions
on the weld profile.
• Option to include a high-resolution image of the current
display in the report.
• The autogenerated report contains relevant parameters for the
instrument, software, calibration, UT parameters, phased array parameters, scanner setup, and flaw reporting.
• Up to eight readings from the original setup can be displayed
using the touch screen’s simple toggle operations.
• Reports are stored and viewed on the instrument, and can also
be saved as HTML documents for use on a computer.
• Reports are fully customizable and come with several
preconfigured templates.
Advanced Data Acquisition and Analysis with TomoView
TomoView™ is the perfect PC-based complement to the OmniScan® family of instruments, and seamlessly imports OmniScan files for advanced processing and analysis in TomoView.
• Displays volume-corrected views that are fully
customizable and come with several preconfigured templates.
• Imports and merges several data files. For simplified
interpretation, several groups are merged into one.
• Corrects potential operator errors in acquisition
parameters (incorrect skews, index offsets, etc.) by reading back raw acquisition data without altering original data.
Advanced Inspection Tools
TomoView offers advanced inspection tools to simulate, test, and prepare setups for the OmniScan.
• 2-D matrix
• Pitch-and-catch, tandem
• Advanced focusing
Advanced Analysis Tools
• The TOFD Manager performs TOFD calibration,
lateral wave straightening, lateral wave removal, and the synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT).
• C-Scan Merge: Merges C-scans based on minimum
or maximum amplitude, or time-of-flight (TOF).
• Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR): On a C-scan, this tool
calculates and displays areas in which SNR is above and/or below a certain threshold.
Reporting
Creating a report in TomoView takes just a few clicks. Defects can be added into the indication-table database, the indication table can be customized with additional readings, and you can add comments specific to each indication.
TomoView offers advanced post-processing of OmniScan data. Illustrated here: weld overlay, multiple sector scans, multibeam C-scans, and merging of A-scans with Top and End views (the latter with rebound display).

Typical Applications
Girth Weld Inspection
The OmniScan PA is at the heart of the Olympus manual and semiautomated circumferential weld-inspection solutions developed for the oil and gas industry. These phased array systems, which are certified for tube inspection in compliance with ASME, API, and other code criteria, offer superior inspection speed and detection, and facilitate interpretation of indications.
Pressure Vessel Weld Inspection
A complete inspection of pressure vessel welds can be performed in a single scan using an OmniScan PA and a motorized scanner such as the WeldROVER. By combining TOFD and PA in a single inspection pass, a significant reduction in inspection time can be achieved as compared with conventional raster scanning or radiography. Further­more, inspection results are available immediately, enabling you to detect problems with welding equipment and fix them right away.
Weld Inspection of Small-Diameter Pipes
When coupled with the COBRA manual scanner, the OmniScan flaw detector is capable of inspecting pipes ranging from 0.84in. OD to
4.5in.OD. With its very slim design, this manual scanner is able to inspect pipes in areas with limited access. Adjacent obstructions such as piping, supports, and structures can be as close as 12mm (0.5in.).
Manual and Semiautomated Corrosion Mapping
The OmniScan PA sytem with the HydroFORM scanner is designed to offer the best inspection solution for detecting wall-thickness reduc­tions resulting from corrosion, abrasion, and erosion. In addition, it detects mid-wall damage such as hydrogen-induced blistering and manufacturing-induced laminations, and easily differentiates these anomalies from loss of wall thickness. For this application, phased array ultrasound technology offers supe­rior inspection speed, data point density, and detection.
Composite Inspection
Parts made of laminate composite materials pose an inspection chal­lenge due to their various shapes and thicknesses. Olympus offers complete solutions for the inspection of carbon­fiber-reinforced polymer structures. These solutions are based on the OmniScan flaw detector, the GLIDER™ scanner, and dedicated probes and wedges designed for CFRP flat panel and radius inspection.
