PipeWIZARD™ iX Automated Ultrasonic System for Girth Weld Inspection

The PipeWIZARD™ iX phased array ultrasonic testing system helps pipeline companies ensure the reliable validation of girth welds during the construction process. Equally rugged and compact, the PipeWIZARD iX system is designed to facilitate both onshore and offshore pipeline inspections. A highly efficient automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) solution, this powerful multitechnology detection system reveals defects in girth welds and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) so they can be quickly analyzed and evaluated.

High-Performance Instrument for Standard and Advanced Inspections

The PipeWIZARD iX system is built to resist vibrations, shocks, and electromagnetic interference, and it can withstand extreme temperatures. Thanks to its compact yet robust design, the PipeWIZARD iX system is also easy to transport and manipulate with confidence.

Lighter than its predecessor, the PipeWIZARD iX system’s data acquisition unit is integrated onto the scanner, making it easier to set up and operate. Featuring more powerful electronics and more input channels, the QuickScan iX PA 64:256 data acquisition instrument boosts the PipeWIZARD system’s capabilities and efficiency, improving the coverage capacity and supporting advanced ultrasonic inspection techniques.

High Performance Instrument Improved Ease of Use and On-Site Efficiency

Improved Ease of Use and On-Site Efficiency The optimized hardware design of the PipeWIZARD iX system provides increased setup flexibility and adaptability. Additional umbilical cable lengths, quick-latching connectors, and configurable probe modules increase your ability to accommodate the PipeWIZARD iX setup to varying inspection needs and environments. Its narrower band also significantly reduces coating cutback requirements versus its predecessor.

The PipeWIZARD iX system enables onsite inspection personnel to work together more easily and efficiently. Integrated indicator lights and software functions ease the communication between the scanner technician and operator, so the inspection goes smoothly, even under challenging conditions.

Optimized Inspection and Analysis Workflow

Thoughtfully designed to reflect the key requirements for reliable and code-compliant girth weld validation, the PipeWIZARD iX companion software is easier to use yet features more advanced and sophisticated tools, including:

• Embedded ES BeamTool software
• Calibration block designer
• Encoder auto-calibration
• Analysis assistance
