SIUI SyncScan 3 Ultrasonic Flaw Detector

Description

SIUI SyncScan 3 Ultrasonic Flaw Detector – 64:128PR Phased Array PAUT, TFM & 4-Channel TOFD NDT System

The SIUI SyncScan 3 Ultrasonic Flaw Detector is an advanced portable ultrasonic NDT system combining 64-channel Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), Total Focusing Method (TFM), Full Matrix Capture (FMC), and 4-channel TOFD in one instrument.

Designed for demanding inspection applications, the SyncScan 3 provides real-time TFM imaging with resolutions up to 1024 × 1024, up to six simultaneous TFM propagation modes, and raw FMC data recording for post-inspection analysis. Its 64-channel PAUT architecture is particularly suited to thick welds and complex materials.

The instrument is designed for applications across oil and gas, power generation, transportation, aerospace, shipbuilding and manufacturing, with inspection capabilities for welds, pipelines, pressure equipment, composites and other critical components.

Key Features

64:128PR Phased Array
The SyncScan 3 provides a 64:128PR PAUT configuration, giving inspectors greater channel capacity and improved coverage for demanding inspections. SIUI describes the 64-channel PAUT system as particularly suitable for welds of 100 mm or greater thickness.

Total Focusing Method
The SyncScan 3 supports real-time TFM imaging with selectable image resolution up to 1024 × 1024 pixels. Up to six TFM propagation modes can be displayed simultaneously, helping inspectors characterize indications from different propagation paths.

Full Matrix Capture
The system can record raw FMC data, allowing TFM images to be generated or reviewed using different propagation modes without necessarily repeating the physical scan.

4-Channel TOFD
The SyncScan 3 incorporates 4-channel TOFD for advanced weld inspection. SIUI documentation indicates that TOFD can be used for weld thicknesses up to approximately 300 mm, depending on the inspection configuration.

PAUT, TOFD and UT
Combining multiple ultrasonic inspection technologies in one platform makes the SyncScan 3 suitable for comprehensive inspection workflows where different techniques are required.

3D and Advanced Imaging
The system supports 3D PA and real-time TFM imaging, providing enhanced visualization of probes, wedges, beams and detected indications.

Smart Inspection Workflow
The SyncScan 3 incorporates dedicated controls and inspection wizards intended to simplify setup, scanning and data management.
