ChainSCANNER
The ChainSCANNER provides a manual pipe-inspection solution for pipes ranging from 1.75″ – 38″ Outside Diameter. The scanner is held by chain links instead of magnetic wheels and is well suited for weld/corrosion inspections on various material types, using UT, TOFD, and PA technologies.
Chain Scanner Manual Inspection
The scanner held by chain links is able to inspect ferromagnetic or nonferromagnetic surfaces. The chain links help ensure a straight displacement of the scanner by eliminating steering issues. The positioning system is useful when the area around the pipe is difficult to access as the scanner can be rotated around the pipe using the chain links.
