OmniScan™ X4 Flaw Detector

Phased Array (PAUT), Total Focusing Method (TFM),

and Phase Coherence Imaging (PCI) Technologies
 Proven to Perform, Trusted to Deliver
Each OmniScan™ X4 unit is a comprehensive multitechnology inspection toolbox, enabling you to utilize multiple
ultrasonic testing techniques to reliably detect and accurately assess flaws and corrosion. Leverage its advanced
imaging and measurement capabilities to locate and evaluate the severity of damage before it becomes critical,
protecting the integrity of assets and infrastructure.

Images That Speak Volumes
Make Decisions Faster and More Decisively
In addition to phased array ultrasonic testing technology, all OmniScan X4 models come standard with phase
coherence imaging (PCI), the total focusing method (TFM), and plane wave imaging (PWI), and their ease of use
makes them more accessible for new users. Using multiple tools that provide more information about indications
increases your confidence in your assessments.

Coherence Imaging
Identify and interpret challenging flaws such as hook
cracks decisively and efficiently using PCI’s capacity
to clearly represent hard-to-detect defects. Make
accurate assessments about fine flaws such as stress
corrosion cracking (SCC) since phase-based PCI is far
less susceptible to attenuation from adjacent flaws than
amplitude-based techniques. Because tip diffractions
of SCC are accentuated by the PCI, you can more easily
characterize each crack’s depth and exploit the software
gates to quickly isolate the deepest flaws.

Up to 3x Faster TFM
Increase your productivity while exploiting the crisp
definition and even focus provided by TFM. Depending
on the configuration, the OmniScan X4 series’ TFM is up
to three times faster than its predecessor (the OmniScan
X3 64 model) when using the sparse firing mode.

Dual-Sided Weld Inspection

with Twin TFM and PCI
Give your weld prove up an efficiency boost using twin
TFM and PCI. Leverage the individual attributes of PCI and
TFM to thoroughly investigate the volume of welds from
both sides simultaneously. Using two probes mounted
on a scanner such as our AxSEAM™ long-seam scanner,
you can produce crisp TFM and PCI results in one pass.

 Intuitive Application Presets
for Improved Efficiency and Consistency
Speed up your setup and improve the consistency of your results using the OmniScan X4 application presets.
Choose from among our presets for common corrosion and flaw detection applications using our HydroFORM™,
RollerFORM™, or FlexoFORM™ scanners. Each option provides preprogrammed parameters that you can edit as
desired. Even new users can produce and reproduce optimal setups for PA and PCI inspections in minutes.

Accelerate B-Scan Screening Exponentially

Easily distinguish suspected flaws from geometry echoes using our unique merged B-scan. This data view
combines all B-scans into one, increasing the efficiency of B‑scan screening exponentially.

Optimized B-scan layouts, including the B-S-A single group and A-B-S multigroup, further improve your
ability to clearly identify suspect indications.

Engineered for Speed and Simplicity
Streamline Inspection Workflows
for Pipelines and Large Assets
The OmniScan X4 software’s intuitive step-by-step scan plan and 3D graphics facilitate your setups, from the basic
to the most complex. During inspection and analysis, real-world references, orientation correction, and a high data-
volume capacity help save you time scanning, analyzing, and organizing the scan results for your report:

Setup
❯ Custom name the scan axes to help you manage the scanning data post-inspection.
❯ D
 efine a reference point on the scan plan that is relative to the asset’s datum to ease positioning the
scanning results within the asset schema.

Inspection
❯ I nspect bigger parts for longer without having to pause mid-job to transfer data thanks to the 1 TB
solid state drive (SDD).
❯ E
 quipped with a fast processor and expanded RAM, all OmniScan X4 models process data rapidly and
the reactivity of the software for all common operations is nearly instantaneous.

Analysis
❯ T
 rue orientation correction of each raster scan pass constructs an image of the data that accurately
depicts the inspected area so it’s easy to comprehend.
❯ W
 ider pulse voltage range (5 Vpp–160 Vpp) eases identifying the true signal peak as low voltages
prevent signal saturation and high voltages improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in attenuative
materials, providing clean, high-quality images for better measurement reliability and consistency.

and fully exploiting the 64:128PR model’s 128-element TFM capability.
❯ A
 ccess the raw FMC data acquired with the 64:128PR model and use it to experiment and develop advanced and novel
applications and continually expand your capabilities.*
❯ C
 ontrol the OmniScan X4 unit remotely using data acquisition software including our WeldSight™ Inspection software or
AeroView™ Inspection software, acquiring data directly on your PC or laptop (using a 16:128PR, 32:128PR or 64:128PR model).
For details about using the Black Box app and NDT Device API, contact Evident or your local Evident representative.

Build Your Scan Plan

on Your PC
Using the familiar OmniScan X4 scan plan
user interface and tools, ScanPlan software
enables you to create basic setups that can
then be imported into the flaw detector.
Leverage the larger screen and ScanPlan
software’s 2D and 3D views to easily prepare
your inspection and take screenshots for
reporting purposes.
