ElbowFlex
Battery-operated, remote-access ultrasonic scanning solutions support automated corrosion mapping and weld inspection using conventional UT, PAUT and other ultrasonic techniques.
Product overview
Eddyfi Technologies' Automated Inspection Solutions combine remote-access scanners with conventional and phased array ultrasonic testing for corrosion and weld assessment. Multiple configurations and motor control embedded in PAUT instruments support high-speed corrosion mapping, elevated-temperature mapping, single-line corrosion scans and weld inspection with PAUT and TOFD probes.
For corrosion mapping, the Cypher and NAV2 pairing provides embedded motor control for automated scanning in ferrous and non-ferrous environments. Inspection is typically performed non-intrusively from the component's external surface, producing a two-dimensional map that highlights thickness variations associated with material loss. Supported mapping techniques include conventional UT, PAUT and TFM.
Automated weld inspection configurations accommodate different materials, weld orientations and geometries. The page names Cypher and Mantis as instruments used with these solutions and lists phased array, conventional UT, TOFD, TFM, PWI and TRL among the supported techniques for flaw detection and sizing.
For one-axis corrosion scanning, Scorpion 2 provides dry-coupled ultrasonic inspection with a remote-access crawler. Its portable, three-component solution is intended for in-service inspection of tank shells, vessels and offshore installations and is stated to comply with API 650/653 standards.
Key capabilities
Remote-access operation
Automated, battery-operated scanners support ultrasonic inspection in challenging environments.
Embedded motor control
PAUT instrument-embedded motor control supports automated scanning, including the Cypher and NAV2 corrosion mapping pairing.
Thickness visualization
Corrosion mapping generates a 2D representation of material condition that highlights thickness variations caused by material loss.
Multiple mapping techniques
Automated corrosion mapping supports conventional UT, PAUT and TFM.
Adaptable weld scanning
Weld inspection solutions accommodate circumferential, long seam and spiral orientations across multiple materials and geometries.
Elevated-temperature mapping
Available system configurations cover elevated-temperature corrosion mapping.
Dry-coupled one-axis inspection
Scorpion 2 uses dry-coupled ultrasonic testing for remote-access one-axis corrosion scanning.
