Omniscan SX Phased Array Flaw Detector
The OmniScan® SX is a flaw detector that shares the OmniScan DNA and benefits from more than 20 years of phased array knowledge. The OmniScan SX has a new, more user-friendly software interface that is presented on an 8.4 in. (21.3 cm) touch screen for increased usability.
The OmniScan SX is a single-group, non-modular instrument that is practical and affordable for less demanding applications.
The SX PA and SX UT are the two variants of the OmniScan SX. The SX PA, a 16:64PR phased array device, contains a traditional UT channel for pulse-echo, pitch-catch, or TOFD inspection, just like the SX UT. The OmniScan SX offers an unprecedented degree of mobility for an OmniScan since it is 33% lighter and 50% smaller than the OmniScan MX2.

Full-screen mode, which enhances visibility and effectively turns numerous menu tasks into simple touch-screen actions, is an option on the OmniScan SX touch screen. The user-friendly interface offers fluid cursor motions, menu selection, zooming, gate changes, and text and value input.

These, along with other premium integrated features, including easy-to-follow setup and calibration Wizards, a rapid refresh rate for both the S-scan and A-scan displays, and a fast pulse repetition frequency (PRF), make the OmniScan SX a highly efficient inspection tool.
Our comprehensive line-up of scanners, probes, and accessories, as well as its specialized software partners, NDT SetupBuilder and OmniPC, are all fully compatible with the OmniScan SX.
From design and setup through to acquisition and analysis, the whole range of software and hardware works together to provide a simplified and effective inspection workflow.
Software Features
More functional improvements in the weld and corrosion sectors are included in the new OmniScan software.
The software interface was made simpler and the response time was reduced as part of a continual improvement effort to give clients the greatest experience possible.
Some of the new features include:
Interleave
Improved accessibility with more interactive menus
Curved geometry ray-tracing for longitudinal welds
Export C-Scan
Onboard compound scan
Analysis attenuation gain
New End-View with group merge
Optimized main menus and wizards
Scrolling layouts for easy interpretation

The multi-group layouts were enhanced such that the software interface reflects the scanner setup for applications needing a multi-probe configuration. The arrangement is clear and appealing since the placement of the several scans is based on how far they are from the center of the weld.
Applications
Olympus now has a fresh, adaptable tool to add to its collection of original, creative,comprehensive market solutions designed to streamline the workflow and boost productivity.
Phased Array Weld Inspection
The manual and semi-automated phased array weld inspection solutions created by Evident/Olympusfor the oil and gas sector are built around the OmniScan PA. These systems provide high-speed detection capabilities, make it easier to read indications, and can be utilized for inspection under the ASME, API, and other code standards.

Corrosion Mapping and Composite Inspection

The OmniScan SX has now made zero-degree examination even more accessible. Evident/Olympusprovides solutions that have been successfully used in the field for corrosion or composite inspection to find abnormalities or wall loss.
TOFD Weld Inspection

A quick and effective method for finding weld faults is TOFD. It is rapid, economical, and capable of sizing manufacturing flaws in the volume of the weld, which is a difficult area to weld.
Component Inspection
Cracks, wall loss, and other damage can be found in components during inspections using ultrasonic methods. The OmniScan SX is a particularly cost-effective option for this kind of single-group inspection since it can accommodate both angle and linear zero-degree beams.

Specifications
The basic instrumentation and software criteria outlined in ASME, AWS, API, and EN regulations are met or exceeded by the OmniScan SX.
