Optimized for Girth Weld Inspection

The HSMT-Flex™ scanner eases one-axis encoded inspection of circumferential welds on pipes. It comes equipped with four of our next generation probe holders, accommodating a total of eight probes with four optional probe holders.

Time is saved when switching and adjusting the probes and wedges thanks to the simplified probe holder design with toolless mechanisms and a vertical latching system. To achieve optimal efficiency and detection capabilities, phased array (PA) and conventional UT probes can be used.

Flexible and Stable Design

The scanner provides high stability while offering flexible configuration options:

• An articulated frame enables it to fit on pipes as small as 4.5 in. OD (114.3 mm OD)
• Spring-loaded arm applies optimal radial pressure for better wedge stability, providing consistent and reliable data acquisition
• Magnetic wheels covered with pliant plastic hold firmly onto ferromagnetic surfaces and help ensure smooth rolling with minimal operator effort
• A slidable side frame enables probes to be mounted on the side of the scanner for hard-to-reach places such as pipe-to-component welds
