Dual Linear Array Probe Enables Faster Acoustic Inspection of Corrosion Olympus America has developed a Dual Linear Array probe for corrosion inspection. It provides several advantages over conventional ultrasonic dual element transducers used with flaw detectors. It improves productivity through features such as larger beam coverage, faster scan speed, and C-scan imaging with increased data-point density. The pitch-catch technique of this probe can offer better near-surface resolution and pit detection in corrosion survey applications than standard phase-array pulse-echo. The pitch-catch technology also improves the probability of detection of critical wall thinning. The Dual Linear Array probe adds a new low-cost entrylevel inspection capability to the existing Olympus HydroForm and RexoForm corrosion solutions, especially when combined with the OmniScan SX. When using the probe with an OmniScan phased array instrument (PR or non-PR), the setup and operation is simple: load the setup file, check the calibration, and then inspect and record the data. Installing an encoder on the probe gives the ability to

generate C-scans on the instrument. An innovative probe stabilization system enables smooth data acquisition on piping surfaces as small as 10.16 cm (4 in.) in diameter. The typical inspection depth in carbon steel ranges from 1 to 80 mm (0.04–3.15 in.).

Three Science-Grade Cooled Thermal Cameras Introduced FLIR Systems has launched three science-grade thermal cameras designed for applications such as electronics development, these cooled cameras deliver high image quality, standardized interfaces, and Matlab integration. Each camera has a standard GigE Vision interface to transmit full dynamic range digital video, and GenICam for camera control. Users can stream temperature-calibrated data over Gigabit Ethernet to a PC for live image viewing and recording. Simultaneously active, yet independentlycontrolled, video interfaces give users excellent flexibility when recording and displaying thermal data. Incorporating FLIR’s ResearchIR version 4.20 software, the new cameras offer researchers and scientists a powerful tool to monitor, acquire, analyze, and share captured thermal data. The release of ResearchIR Max version 4.20 gives users direct access to their MATLAB scripts within ResearchIR for the first time. •
