Oil & Gas

Inspections in the Oil & Gas and Petroleum industries seldom take place in convenient locations. The field inspector is often up on scaffolding or at a remote location next to pipelines or offshore installations. The Phasor XS is a 3.8 kg Phased Array instrument that will improve probability of defect detection in the most demanding of conditions. Better decisions come from benchmarked improvements in detecting and sizing defects, and the simplicity of the Phasor XS puts this advanced capability within the reach of the everyday operator.

Greater productivity
Most weld inspection operations require three different angles to comply with industry standards. The controllable beam in the Phasor XS allows the angle focus and active area to be varied electronically without the need to connect and reconnect probes. This makes most weld inspections with the Phasor XS significantly faster than with conventional flaw detectors.

Advanced applications
The Phasor XS has a powerful 150 volt peak-to-peak square wave pulser and is capable of using a wide variety of advanced Phased Array probes. As a result, the Phasor XS can tackle complex applications such as flange corrosion and heavy wall flaw detection that, until now, could only be tackled effectively by much more expensive Phased Array instruments.

A Phasor XS image is worth a thousand A-Scans. The integrated cross-sectional image makes it far easier to determine the location and orientation of flaws detected.
