Introduction
14
With its very slim design, this manual scanner inspects pipes in limited access areas
where minimal clearance is required (see Figure i-3 on page 14). Adjacent
obstructions such as piping, supports, and structures can be as close as 12 mm
(0.5 in.). This spring-loaded scanner is designed to hold onto carbon steel and
stainless steel pipes of different diameters.

The COBRA scanner is characterized by its smooth-rolling encoded movement
enabling precise data acquisition. The scanner can hold two phased array probes for a
complete inspection of the weld in one pass. For pipe-to-component inspections, the
scanner can be quickly configured to make one-sided inspections with only one
probe.
This Olympus solution uses low-profile phased array probes with optimized
elevation focusing, which improves the detection of small defects in thin-wall pipes.
Specially designed low-profile wedges that fit each pipe diameter covered by the
scanner, are also offered to complete the solution. The COBRA scanner ensures stable,
constant, and strong pressure thus providing good UT signals and precise encoding
around the full circumference of the pipe. This complete solution package is small and
lightweight for easy transport. The scanner is also waterproof, rust-free, and CE
compliant.
