Frame
The rectangular scanner frame is manually moved across an inspection surface by
an operator. Two handles are provided to control the scanner. Four magnetic
wheels—one at each corner—provide a stable inspection movement.
An adjustable hinge changes the angle between the frame bar sections to enable
scanning on surfaces with a smaller radius of curvature (see Figure 1-2 on
page 16).
Figure 1-2 Adjustable angle frame
The two frame bar sections can hold up to a total of eight probes. These can be
either conventional ultrasonic transducers or phased array probes. On smaller
pipes, if more than four probes are to be used, a special pivoting bracket is
required (see Figure 1-8 on page 20).
An attachment ring is provided to attach a safety line or an umbilical cable. It is
located at the water manifold corner.
Wheels
The wheels are magnetized with polyurethane rolling surface to allow a smooth
and steady movement over rough surfaces (see Figure 1-3 on page 17).
