Olympus FlexoFORM

The Power of Flexibility

Pipe elbows are susceptible to damage, such as from flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), but inspecting them is challenging since their shape changes from convex to concave, and there are many possible pipe diameters. The FlexoFORM™ solution integrates flexible phased array probe technology in a scanner to solve these challenges. When combined with a water column, this solution can be used to collect easy-to-interpret data on elbows with diameters ranging from 4.5 in. OD up to flat and offers many benefits, including:
• 100% elbow coverage
• Intuitive 2D C-scan imaging
• High-resolution data (1 mm × 1 mm)
• Fast elbow wall thickness measurement
