OmniScan MX2 Product Overview

OmniScan MX2 Drop Test

Chris Magruder and Francois-Come Beaupre discuss some of the features of the new Omniscan MX2.

Tune in to this webinar and hear from our expert at Olympus on the latest solutions for the nondestructive testing of pipes and vessels for wall thickness loss due to corrosion or erosion. The HydroFORM and RexofFORM systems built for the OmniScan MX2 phased array flaw detector are designed to bring encoded corrosion mapping capability without the use of high-speed computer-based mechanical raster scanners.

This Webinar is intended to take the participant through the basics of phased array depth and height flaw sizing with real world examples by expanding on traditional conventional techniques with advanced phased array probes and software. Shear wave tip diffraction, -6dB sizing, high angle longitudinal L-wave, ID Creeping wave, and other advanced techniques will be on display. Additionally, use of the OmniScan measurement cursors, defect table and report are explained and demonstrated. Also on display will be Olympus' new software "OmniPC" for computer based offline analysis of OmniScan data files.

Precision phased array calibrations for time of flight measurements combine the phased array calculator and traditional conventional UT wedge delay functions. This webinar is intended to demonstrate use of both UT calibration blocks for procedure compliance along with best practices for optimized phased array results using the OmniScan MX2 and latest software.

This webinar will review the use of phased array ultrasound methods on composite structures at both the manufacturing and maintenance levels. Inspection equipment and techniques from manual to automated scanning for various flat and shaped CFRP (Composite Fiber Re-enforced Polymers) will be reviewed in detail.

Part one of the series will cover the essential ingredients of phased array and basic theory. It is geared toward understanding the equipment basics used to generate phased array inspections and includes the introduction to the OmniScan MX2 software user interface.

Through the course of the Webinar participants will learn: Basic Corrosion Mapping Theory and Overview. Setup and Configuration of a 1D Linear Array Probe for 0 Degree Inspection. UT, Gate Logic, and C-scan Setup and Configuration for Corrosion Mapping 1 Axis and 2 Axis Mechanical Scanner Setup and Configuration Use of C-Scan Color Palette and Readings for Analysis of Defects Corrosion Mapping Report Generation in OmniScan MX2

Part two of the series will cover sector scan basics and introduction to the data views and displays commonly used in automated UT and phased array. This includes use of the OmniScan MX2 group setup wizards, and setup and configuration of the UT parameters.

Through the course of the Webinar participants will learn the benefits of: • New OmniScan module technology that allows simultaneous acquisition from high definition UT board and phased array probes. • Demonstration of new MX2 wizard functions for TOFD setup and acquisition. • Optimization of UT parameters for improved TOFD. (More power less heat) • Improved PRF management for multi group phased array and TOFD inspection. • New improved B-scan TOFD imaging. • New acquisition and analysis display for simultaneous phased array and TOFD inspection. • New addition to the MX2 wizard for TOFD PCS calibration. • Introduction to the HST Lite TOFD scanner and Olympus family of TOFD probes and wedges.

Part three of the series will cover gate and C-scan configurations for weld inspection, calibration options and limitations, and include explanation and demonstration of the OmniScan MX2 calibration wizards for manual inspection. There will be a brief review of the previous Webinar that leads into the current topics. This will combine sector scan basics, and MX2 displays readings, and parameters in preparation for a manual sector scan weld inspection.

This webinar is intended to demonstrate use of common crack sizing techniques and best practices for optimizing the OmniScan MX2 for manual and semi-automated crack detection and sizing.

Olympus is proud to present the latest software release for the OmniScan family of products: MXU V4.1. This Webinar will include a presentation explaining the various new features and also include live demonstrations of data analysis using OmniPC and setup and acquisition using the OmniScan MX2.

Showcasing the MX2, Cobra scanner, NDT Setup Builder, and OmniPC for advanced NDT work flow process.

This presentation will provide a general overview of probe technology used in austenitic weld inspection and how it is deployed in portable phased array systems including live demonstration of austenitic flaw sizing and detection.

Chris Magruder answers a user question, "For precision sizing of weld flaws using OmniScan phased array inspection, which is the preferred technique: Shear wave tip diffraction or amplitude drop sizing?"
