The next-generation HSMT-Flex™ scanner streamlines encoded girth weld ultrasonic inspection with design enhancements that help reduce the risk of rescans, simplify setup, and support high-quality data acquisition—enabling inspectors to work more efficiently and confidently in demanding environments. The HSMT-Flex scanner attaches to the surface using magnetic wheels and is capable of inspecting pipe outer diameters ranging from 114 millimeters (4.5 inches) to flat surfaces. Its folding mechanism ensures that all spring-loaded probe holders maintain consistent and perpendicular contact pressure on the inspection surface. Now available in a high-temperature model, the HSMT-Flex scanner also supports inspections on hot surfaces, helping to minimize downtime and maintain asset integrity.
