Evident FlexoFORM

The FlexoFORM™ is a specialized scanning solution developed to simplify one of the toughest challenges in industrial inspection: assessing corrosion and material degradation in pipe elbows. Using phased array ultrasonic technology, a form of nondestructive testing (NDT) that reveals internal flaws without cutting or damaging the material—it provides reliable, high-resolution imaging across complex curved surfaces.

Its flexible design adapts to a wide range of pipe sizes and geometries, delivering full coverage where traditional methods fall short. Built for efficiency, accuracy, and ease of use, FlexoFORM improves the speed and confidence of elbow inspections while ensuring a higher probability of detection (PoD) for issues like wall thinning, corrosion, and internal defects.

FlexoFORM Makes Elbow Inspections Easy and Reliable

Whether you’re in power generation, oil and gas, chemical processing, or heavy industry, inspecting pipe elbows has always been a complicated and time-consuming task until now.

From tackling corrosion in high-pressure steam lines to verifying wall integrity in boiler systems or processing loops, FlexoFORM is built to handle the critical inspection challenges that standard tools miss. It’s a smarter, more efficient way to get the data you need—no guesswork, no shortcuts.

Complete Coverage & High-Resolution Accuracy

FlexoFORM™ is engineered to give you full confidence in every inspection. By delivering 100% coverage of pipe bends and curved surfaces, it eliminates the guesswork of spot-checking and ensures that no critical area is overlooked.

Paired with high-resolution data capture at 1 mm × 1 mm, the system provides crystal-clear imaging that reveals corrosion, pitting, and other internal anomalies with exceptional detail—allowing for faster, more informed decisions in the field.

Effortless Handling with Magnetic Precision

FlexoFORM is built for stability and ease in demanding field conditions. Strong magnetic wheels keep the scanner firmly attached to the pipe surface, allowing it to follow scan paths smoothly, even on vertical or overhead sections.

Combined with an ergonomic, operator-friendly design, this system reduces physical strain and ensures consistent, accurate data collection with minimal manual input.

Reliable Coupling Across Curved and Rough Surfaces

The integrated water column system in FlexoFORM ensures reliable acoustic coupling across a variety of pipe shapes and surface conditions. Whether you’re scanning the outer (extrados) or inner (intrados) curve of an elbow, the water path adapts to moderate surface roughness and maintains stable signal quality.

A foam gasket keeps the column sealed, while the wedge design minimizes water use and manages air bubbles effortlessly—so inspections stay smooth, clean, and consistent.

Accurate 2D Mapping with Built-In Scan Control

FlexoFORM makes capturing complete, detailed surface data straightforward with its encoded scanning system and built-in indexing control.

Each scan is precisely tracked, and with the push of a button, operators can increment scans along the second axis to generate accurate 2D surface maps all within the same data file.

This structured approach streamlines inspection workflows while improving consistency and repeatability across scans.

Flexible Setup for Any Inspection Environment

FlexoFORM™ is designed for manual elbow inspections, but its versatility extends beyond curved surfaces. The same phased array probe can be used across both manual and automated setups—just swap the wedge and mount it to systems like MapROVER or SteerROVER for scanning flat or straight sections.

This shared hardware approach simplifies field operations, reduces equipment loadouts, and makes transitions between inspection types faster and more efficient. And with FlexoFORM available for rent, you get maximum flexibility without long-term commitment.
