Our experts are always available to ensure you achieve optimal performance from your ultrasonic testing equipment. For more details, please contact our support team.
Ultrasonic testing (UT) uses high-frequency sound waves to detect flaws in materials. The sound waves pass through the material, and any disruptions indicate a flaw, such as cracks or voids. This method is widely used for inspecting welds, pipelines, and other critical components.
UT is effective on metals (steel, aluminum, alloys), composites, plastics, and ceramics, suitable for diverse applications.
UT offers high accuracy, typically measuring thickness and defects within thousandths of an inch, depending on calibration and equipment.
Yes, ultrasonic testing is entirely safe and non-invasive, using sound waves without any harmful radiation exposure.
Our scanners are used in a wide range of industries including oil and gas, power generation, aerospace, manufacturing, and more. They are designed to meet the unique needs of each sector, providing precise and reliable inspection solutions.
Yes, we offer customization options for our scanners to meet specific application requirements. Our engineering team works closely with clients to develop tailored solutions that address their unique challenges.
We provide comprehensive support for all our products, including installation, training, and ongoing technical assistance. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that you get the most out of your ScanTech equipment.

ScanTech scanners offer unique modular designs and rapid, tool-free reconfiguration, allowing inspectors to easily adapt to various inspection scenarios. They also feature remote, battery-powered operation using our Batt Pack controller, eliminating reliance on external power supplies.
A B scanner provides cross-sectional thickness visualizations, ideal for corrosion mapping, thickness measurement, and inspections requiring precise dimensional data.
Choose a B scanner for pipes, storage tanks, pressure vessels, or structures that require detailed thickness or corrosion data for inspections or compliance reporting.
Automated B scanners like ScanTech’s Axis scanner or the X3 Spider scanner significantly reduce inspection time, deliver highly accurate measurements, and ensure consistent, repeatable results ideal for compliance reporting and corrosion mapping applications.
C scanners provide detailed 2D visual maps of defect distribution and thickness variations, compared to B scanners’ cross-sectional thickness readings.
C scanners, such as ScanTech’s Vertex scanner, are ideal for detailed, visual corrosion mapping of large areas, providing comprehensive 2D defect distribution data to facilitate efficient maintenance planning and regulatory reporting.
Manual scanners are handheld, operator-controlled devices ideal for inspecting small or complex geometries, spot checks, or quick verification tasks.
Manual scanners can be slower, operator-dependent, and less consistent for larger inspections compared to automated systems.
Manual scanners like ScanTech’s H3 handheld scanner are ideal for inspections requiring flexibility in tight spaces, complex geometries, or quick verification tasks, where automated scanners may be impractical or less efficient.
A tank crawler is a remotely operated automated scanner specifically designed for efficient and accurate large storage tank and vessel inspections.
Tank crawlers, such as ScanTech’s XR Spider, are the best choice for inspecting large storage tanks and vessels. They provide a safe, efficient alternative to manual inspections, ensuring accurate corrosion mapping and full compliance with standards like API 653.
Use tank crawlers when inspecting large storage tanks or structures where manual inspections would be unsafe, impractical, or inefficient, especially for API 653 compliance.
Best practices include using automated B or C scanners for accurate corrosion mapping, regularly calibrating equipment, following ASME B31G standards, and documenting consistent inspection data for predictive maintenance and safety.
NDT methods significantly enhance safety, reliability, and compliance, help identify corrosion and defects early, reduce downtime, and extend asset lifespan in the oil and gas industry.
Ultrasonic techniques used for weld inspection include phased-array and conventional pulse-echo methods, along with TOFD (Time-of-Flight Diffraction). ScanTech’s Radix scanner efficiently supports these techniques, helping inspectors ensure weld integrity and compliance with industry standards such as ASME B31G.
In petrochemical facilities, NDT identifies corrosion, cracks, and other structural integrity issues in storage tanks, pipelines, and pressure vessels, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance while minimizing downtime.
