ULTRASONIC PERFORMANCE
Scorpion2 is equipped with the best ultrasonic electronics and software the industry has to offer. With its advanced filtering, the system can inspect materials ranging from 4.7 to 100 mm (3/16 to 4 in) faster and more accurately. The software allows for unique UT gate processing, such as floating and tracking gates, ensuring correct wall thickness measurements under most circumstances
SCORPION2 CRAWLER
The battery-powered crawler is designed to go where no man can go. Crawler handling is minimized with simple controls and long umbilical, when combined with a speed of up to 180 mm/sec (7 in/sec), allow the completions of inspections faster and more efficiently.
PROBE DESIGN
Silverwing’s unique dry-coupled ultrasonic wheel probe eliminates the need for couplant or a constant water supply. The probe is designed as a twin crystal ultrasonic probe with a unique rolling probe face.
PROBE CARRIAGE
The probe carriage allows the system to record thickness measurements within 25 mm (1 in) of a weld cap to inspect the critical heat affected zone (HAZ). The four independentlypowered magnetic drive wheels with treaded tires give Scorpion2 the advantage of being able to easily drive over 12.7 mm (1/2 in) and provide grip under any conditions.
ACTIVE PROBE LIFT AND BALANCE
Unique feature to Scorpion2, the active probe lift raises the wheel probe when measurements are not being recorded, extending the life span of the probe’s tire. Probe balance makes it easier to setup the probe pre-inspection, reducing time whilst increasing inspection repeatability
BATTERY-POWERED
Scorpion2 comes with two lithium-ion batteries, allowing for continuous on-site operation. The battery is mounted on board the crawler, removing the need for a separate battery pack on the ground, thus reducing umbilical and overall system weight.
