Orbital – AUT Weld Scanner
Powerful and versatile flexible track mounted scanner capable of transporting a range of onboard accessories to simplify site inspections.
The Orbital is a highly efficient automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) solution for ID and OD pipe weld inspections, through to flat on any material.
Orbital comprises an automated carriage with tracks that can adhere to any inspection surface via fully enveloping tension, magnets, or vacuum, providing versatility with just one scanning solution. The track can be used on pipes in any orientation on either the outside (6″ NPS – Flat) or the inside (44″ ID upwards).
The incorporated probe pan is configurable to your inspection requirement and capable of holding either a single UT probe up to a maximum of 12 probes simultaneously (diameter dependent).
In addition to mounting multiple transducers, the powerful drive system can also mount a compatible onboard acquisition unit, in addition to scanning accessories including an HD camera, thermal surface monitor, or optional lighting. This combination of onboard solutions can provide a live visual assessment for the most precise and efficient defect detection and data acquisition.
Applications
Typical Applications for Orbital include:
- Pipeline girth weld inspection
- ID Weld inspection in ferritic and non-ferritic pipes
- Welds in ferritic and non-ferritic tanks & vessel
Industries
Ideal for use (but not limited to): Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Power Generation and Aerospace
