Phoenix Inspection Systems has welcomed its new time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) scanner. The Duo scanner is a new, operator-friendly inspection solution that has been designed to incorporate the key features of existing Phoenix TOFD scanners.
Duo offers fast setup and reliable, repeatable inspections of pipe welds, from 2 in. up to flat plate, in a robust, site ready scanning frame. Constructed from durable, lightweight aluminium, the tool combines the benefits of simple, tool-less probe installation and adjustment with a sturdy frame.
Wedges snap in and out of the Duo scanner frame without the need to unscrew parts. Probe separation is quick and simple to adjust with a graduated scale. This allows for accurate positioning while maintaining probe alignment.
With three strong magnetic wheels that provide adhesion and tracking, the scanner also incorporates a brake for hand repositioning, making it ideal for rope access inspections.
Andrew Brewis, Sales Manager at Phoenix Inspection Systems, said: “The Duo scanner has already produced very positive results amongst pilot customers. It neatly combines the benefits of our existing TOFD product range into a solid construction that is suited to all onsite conditions.”

When the tanks are full, the liquefied carbon dioxide will be loaded onto a dedicated carrier from Royal Wagenborg and shipped to the INEOS Nini platform in the Danish North Sea. From there, it will be safely injected via pipeline into subsurface reservoirs approximately 1800 m beneath the seabed for permanent storage.
