Introduction
This manual provides instructions for assembling, installing, and operating the
HSMT-Flex scanner. The HSMT-Flex scanner is a versatile pipe and plate scanner that
can be used to inspect pipes with a diameter of 114 mm (4.5 in.) or greater.
The major characteristic of the scanner is its ability to bend in the center. This feature
enables the scanner to fit on smaller pipes, and also brings the force of the
springloaded arm in the radial direction of the pipes for better stability of the wedge
and optimum data acquisition. Optional pivoting probe holders can also be installed
on the outside of the scanner.
The HSMT-Flex also has one slidable side frame. This feature enables probes to be
mounted on the outside of the scanner, providing a configuration that is suitable for
hard-to-reach places such as pipe-to-component welds.
This manual is organized to allow a progressive understanding of the scanner’s
different functions. Each section, however, is complete in itself. This manual is
therefore a useful reference.
