Olympus OmniScan X3 64 Flaw Detector

The Olympus OmniScan X3 64 Flaw Detector is a high-performance tool for non-destructive testing (NDT). It meets the demands of modern inspection challenges. With powerful focusing capabilities and a larger element-aperture capacity, it maximizes the use of 64-element phased array probes and a 128-element aperture Total Focusing Method (TFM). This allows for better detection of small and close-knit defects across various materials.

Key Features of the Olympus OmniScan X3 64 Flaw Detector

The OmniScan X3 64 offers superior resolution by maximizing the potential of 64-element phased array probes and the 128-element TFM. It provides high accuracy, especially for challenging materials like thick or attenuative structures. This makes it an ideal tool for reliable inspections.

One of the standout features is its TFM acquisition speed. The OmniScan X3 64 is up to 4 times faster than models with 32 pulsers. This increase in speed is due to its larger aperture, which improves efficiency and decision-making.

The MXU 5.10 software update introduced Phase Coherence Imaging (PCI). PCI provides live TFM images with improved clarity, making it easier to detect small defects, even in noisy materials. This feature simplifies setup and defect sizing, boosting inspection confidence.

Software and Data Management Advancements

The MXU 5.11 onboard software for the OmniScan X3 series changes the file format from .odat to .nde. This marks a shift in how NDT data is managed. The update will impact future Evident NDT software and hardware platforms, influencing the entire NDT industry.

The MXU 5.13 update also introduces a new B-scan view. This tool enhances weld screening by making it more efficient. Inspectors can quickly assess defects without scrolling through multiple B-scans. It saves time and increases accuracy, offering greater confidence in weld inspections.

Benefits of the Olympus OmniScan X3 64 Flaw Detector

The OmniScan X3 64 provides several key benefits:

• Improved resolution: The 64-element phased array probes offer enhanced resolution at focal points. This helps detect defects that are close together or clustered.

• Faster inspections: TFM acquisition speeds are 4 times faster, making inspections more efficient.

• Versatility: The device is ideal for a wide range of applications. These include thick weld PA & TOFD, austenitic/CRA/dissimilar metal welds, high-temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA), and advanced application development.
