LYNCS
LYNCS is an advanced modular ultrasonic inspection scanner that has been designed by experts to provide Phased Array (PAUT) corrosion mapping and PAUT/TOFD weld integrity assessment. It is the first truly versatile system that allows users to interchange between weld inspection and advanced corrosion mapping in less than 1 minute. Onboard scanner controls bring one-person operation with seamless integration to the Gekko and Mantis instruments. In weld inspection mode operators, can start and stop a scan. In corrosion mapping mode, operators can increment or stitch data together without touching the PAUT instrument.

Corrosion Under Pipe Supports (CUPS)
The Multi-Skip or M-Skip scanner offers an ultrasonic solution for corrosion detection of typically difficult to access areas of pipelines; around obstructions such as pipe supports, clamps and saddles. M-Skip is an ultrasonic ‘transmit-receive’ method that locates probes either side of an obstruction. Comprising of interlocking belt sections that can be adjusted according to pipe diameter (6” up to 48” OD). Separation bars ensure accurate and consistent probe and wedge placement around obstructions at distances of up to 1m (3.28ft). The M-Skip scanner can reduce inspection times and associated costs by eliminating the need to remove clamps or lifting a pipe off its support to scan the inaccessible area.
