OmniScan™ X3 Phased Array Flaw Detector with TFM
 Innovative TFM

TFM Images with

Superb Detail
The combination of the OmniScan™ X3
flaw detector’s live total focusing
method (TFM) envelope processing,
up to 1,024 × 1,024 grid resolution,
and vibrant color display make
its TFM images stand out with
exceptional detail. Defects appear
sharp and clear with high resolution.

Detect Early-Stage HTHA

The instrument’s advanced imaging capabilities translate
into better and finer detection of high-temperature
hydrogen attack (HTHA), so you can detect the damage
mechanisms at an early stage, when it matters the most.

Confirm Your
Coverage in
Advance
The Acoustic Influence Map (AIM)
tool provides you with an instant
visual model of the sensitivity
based on your mode, settings, and
simulated reflector.

The tool enables you to visualize the

effect of a wave set (in TFM mode),
see where sensitivity stops, and
adjust your scan plan accordingly.

Facilitates Flaw Interpretation

and Sizing
Up to four TFM modes provide images from different
angles. This information can provide you with
greater confidence when identifying defects and
determining defect depth.

 Reliable and Easy to Use

Get to Work, Quickly

The onboard scan plan, improved fast calibration, and streamlined user interface eliminate unnecessary steps to help
ensure that you can complete your inspection setup in minimal time.

If you are an existing OmniScan™ user, the transition from the MX2 is fast. If you are new to phased array ultrasonic
testing or TFM, the OmniScan X3 flaw detector is easy to learn.
