Scorpion B scan
Remote, dry coupled ultrasonic crawler

 

The Scorpion B scan is a rugged remote access ultrasonic crawler designed to allow cost effective A and B scan imaging on above ground ferro-magnetic structures without the need for costly scaffolding or rope access.

Scorpion B scan remote access crawler uses a unique "Dry Coupled" wheel probe eliminating the need for traditional couplant. This allows the crawler to travel vertically, horizontally or even inverted whilst still fully functional.

The Scorpion B scan is connected to a notebook computer via the parallel port. The software has standard flaw detector controls for the A scan set-up, simplifying training and operation requirements. All controls such as gain, time base range, filtering and gate adjustments are on the same screen as the active A scan display and the B scan image. Supplied with a lightweight, flexible 30 metre umbilical cable the Scorpion B scan is capable of accessing the furthest point of most structures without the need for scaffolding. The system is battery operated and is powered by the Sitemaster 30 battery pack which is capable of 8 hours operation on a single charge.

The easy to use defect sizing tools plus corrosion sizing functions combine with the ability to cut and paste images directly into other windows software packages. From being a simple corrosion detection device, these features turn the Scorpion B scan into one of the most cost effective, comprehensive Ultrasonic Imaging Systems on the market today.
