Evident recently announced the release of its newest OmniScan™ phased array flaw detector, the OmniScan X4. With multiple ultrasonic technologies and powerful imaging capabilities, the OmniScan X4 is designed to allow inspectors of all skill levels to quickly and accurately detect damage mechanisms in a variety of infrastructure assets.
The result of over two decades of product development and enhancement, the OmniScan X4 is the latest evolution in Evident’s OmniScan line, a rugged, field-proven series of portable ultrasonic flaw detectors that meet inspection challenges across a wide range of applications.
A lightweight inspection solution engineered for speed, simplicity and versatility, the OmniScan X4 is equipped with a full range of phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) capabilities in an easy-to-use interface that enables accurate detection of even the most challenging flaws. All OmniScan X4 models include advanced total focusing method (TFM), phase coherence imaging (PCI) and plane wave imaging (PWI) technologies, allowing quick flaw detection and characterization.
“We’ve equipped the OmniScan X4 with the power it needs to perform the complex processing required for TFM, PCI and PWI,” said Émilie Péloquin, Executive Director of Global Advanced NDT Product Support at Evident. “Having these techniques in addition to a phased array can be a huge help in making a definitive determination about the extent of certain damage. With access to a variety of techniques, you are far more likely to make the right call; more tools mean less doubt.”
“What also differentiates the OmniScan X4 is that it’s designed to evolve,” Péloquin added. “We are continually making it smarter, enhancing its onboard software and adding new features that target specific industry needs. Many of the improvements we make are complimentary to OmniScan X4 users through quarterly software updates.”
