Doppler PHASCAN II Portable Phased Array Flaw Detector
The Doppler PHASCAN II is a portable ultrasonic phased array (PAUT) flaw detector designed for professional NDT technicians. It is the successor to Doppler Phascan and it combines phased array imaging with TOFD detection in one handheld class instrument. With a friendly interface and a choice of scanning and focus modes it solves a broad range of inspection problems, and it can replace separate pieces of testing hardware.
Key Features
- Phased array and TOFD in one instrument: the Phascan family offers up to 32/128 pulser/receiver channels for phased array plus high performance TOFD detection on two independent channels
- Embedded focal law calculator: set up scans easily with four scanning modes (linear, sectorial, depth, and static)
- Flexible focusing: true depth, sound path, projection, and focal plane with four focus type variations
- Multiple display modes: A, S, B, and C scan views
- Per-beam calibration: every beam is a single channel detector so calibration can be verified for each beam
- Touch screen display: the original Phascan uses a 10.4-inch TFT color touch screen (800 × 600) for clear imaging in the field
- Works with Doppler and other phased array probes: with a range of adapters, wedges, and extension cables for probes on the market
- Splitter and encoder support: supports scan setups with encoders for position linked data with documented calibration procedures
- Portable design: built for on site use
Typical Applications
- Pipeline and girth weld inspection
- Corrosion mapping and wall loss assessment
- Aerospace and composite testing
- Bolt and threaded hole inspection
- Weld inspection with phased array and TOFD together
Why Choose It
The PHASCAN II lets inspectors see ultrasonic data as cross sectional images instead of single A scan traces which speeds up weld and corrosion inspection and improves defect characterization. Combining PAUT and TOFD in one portable unit reduces the equipment a crew has to carry.
