ScanmapVS - Remote access ultrasonic C-Scan imaging system

The ScanmapVS system utilises the proven reliability of the Scorpion wall crawler with an added transverse scanner fitted to the front end. The transverse scanner covers a 130 mm wide strip at a speed of 600 mm per second. With a forward crawler speed of 900 mm per minute, the ScanmapVS provides rapid inspection whilst achieving complete UT coverage.

Using a single 10mm diameter short pulse 5MHz transducer mounted in a water column the ScanmapVS is effectively a remote access immersion system. Sampling every 6mm in the direction of travel ensures that all corrosion is mapped while maintaining continuous forward motion.

Key Features

• A-Scan, B-Scan and C-Scan
• 6mm Raster Pitch Gives 100% Coverage
• 130mm Scan Width 900mm/min Forward Speed
• Scan upto 7m² per Hour
• Vertical or Circumferential Scans
• Powerful Analysis / Reporting Tools

Unique chain-drive design maintains a constant transverse probe speed of 600mm per second. The adjustable scanning head allows inspection of small vessels and pipes with a minimum diameter of 1m. The ScanmapVS now makes it possible to ultrasonically scan a 130mm wide strip vertically up tank walls and columns or circumferentially around vessels and pipework, covering approx. 7 square meters per hour. Meet or even exceed the requirements of the relevant inspection standards without the need for costly rope access or scaffolding.

By combining an existing high speed ultrasonic pulser/receiver card and ultrasonic imaging software with the Scorpion scanner, Silverwing's latest product, the ScanmapVS benefits from proven technology at the outset. Stored data can be viewed as either A-scan, B-scan or C-scan images.
