How Our Customers Use the OmniScanSave Time and Energy Screening Welds with the Merged B-ScanIf you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a more efficient way to perform weld screening than simply scrolling through B-scans, you’ll want to hear about our solution. With the MXU 5.13 software update, we introduced an innovative B-scan view for the OmniScan™ X3 series that has the potential to revolutionize this time- and attention-consuming technique. Used as a validation tool, it can give you more confidence in your assessments and help ease the whole B-scan screening process. 5 Main Advantages of Phase Coherence Imaging (PCI)With the release of MXU 5.10 software, the OmniScan™ X3 64 flaw detector gains a new advanced ultrasonic inspection technique: phase coherence imaging (PCI). As soon as your OmniScan X3 64 unit is updated, you can start taking advantage of PCI to achieve live total focusing method (TFM) images with unprecedented clarity and sensitivity to small defects. Using the Total Focusing Method to Improve Phased Array Ultrasonic ImagingThe nondestructive testing (NDT) industry is experiencing an important technological advancement, as total focusing method (TFM) capable inspection devices are making their entry into the market. The TFM approach represents a significant step forward for phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) technology. Video Probe and UT Technology Assist Cracking Detection in Chrome Carbide OverlayLearn how probe and ultrasonic testing (UT) technology can assist in the detection and characterization of cracking in chrome carbide overlay (CCO). Stephan Couture, global product application leader at Evident, explains and demonstrates techniques to inspect a CCO sample. FAQs about the Open File Format NDEWith the release of MXU 5.11 onboard software for OmniScan™ X3 and X3 64 flaw detectors, the file format of data files created with these devices has changed from .odat to .nde. This change is the beginning of a shift in how NDT data is managed and accessed. It starts with the OmniScan X3 series but will be applied to all future Evident nondestructive testing software and hardware platforms, and hopefully it will be extended to and used by the entire NDT industry. |
