Ultrasonic inspection equipment

Corrosion Mapping Scanners for Pipes, Tanks & Vessels

Match your scanner to the surface. Collect position-referenced ultrasonic thickness data to evaluate wall loss across the inspected area.

Ultrasonic scanning platforms

Equipment selection support

Start with your application

What do you need to inspect?

Surface material, geometry and access determine how the scanner attaches and moves. Start here, then compare the platforms below.

Pipes & pipelines

Plan around pipe diameter, axial or circumferential travel, supports and nearby piping.

Storage tanks

Match scan width and attachment to surface curvature, coverage area and repositioning needs.

Pressure vessels

Account for vessel geometry, access restrictions and the condition of the inspection surface.

Explore your options

Find the platform that fits the job.

Compare each scanner’s approach, then confirm the configuration for your inspection procedure.

Check the fit

The right scanner starts with FIVE questions.

A scanner needs to fit your asset and work with your inspection equipment. Confirm these details before selecting a system.

01

Magnetic attachment or a chain-based system?

02

Confirm limits for axial or circumferential scanning.

03

Include the scanner, probe, arm and cable movement.

04

Compare performance at your required sampling interval.

05

Confirm the controller, encoder and software connections.

From scan path to thickness map

See where wall thickness changes.

A corrosion mapping scanner connects ultrasonic measurements to positions across an inspection area. A thickness C-scan displays that information in a plan view.

  • Locate thickness variations within the scanned area.
  • Review the extent of measured wall loss.
  • Use scan data to support inspection reporting.

Common questions

Before you choose a scanner.

What is a corrosion mapping scanner?

It moves an ultrasonic probe across a surface while tracking position. A compatible instrument and software pair the measurements with their locations to create a map of the inspected area.

A B-scan provides a cross-sectional view along a scan path. A C-scan provides a plan view across an area. A thickness C-scan shows how remaining wall thickness varies across that area.

Some configurations support both. Suitability depends on attachment, probe assembly, scan direction and geometry. Confirm these requirements for the selected configuration.

Scan area, sampling interval, probe coverage, acquisition settings, surface preparation and repositioning affect total inspection time.
