Overview
The EVIDENT OmniScan X4 128:128PR is a high-channel-count, portable phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) instrument engineered for precision inspection of critical components in demanding industrial environments. Built upon EVIDENT’s proven OmniScan platform architecture, this model delivers full 128-element transmit/receive capability—enabling true 128:128 PR (Pulse-Receive) operation—without channel multiplexing or performance compromise. It operates on the fundamental principle of phased array beam steering and dynamic depth focusing, utilizing time-delayed excitation of individual piezoelectric elements to synthesize steerable, focused acoustic beams across a wide angular range. This allows for rapid, high-resolution volumetric scanning of welds, forgings, castings, and composite structures with exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and lateral resolution. Designed for field-deployable use without sacrificing laboratory-grade repeatability, the X4 128:128PR meets the stringent requirements of ASME BPVC Section V, ASTM E2700, ISO 13588, and EN 13588 for automated and semi-automated PAUT applications.
Key Features
- True 128:128 PR architecture supporting simultaneous transmission and reception across all 128 active elements—enabling full matrix capture (FMC) and total focusing method (TFM) acquisition without hardware limitation
- Compact, ruggedized enclosure rated IP65 for dust and water resistance; operational temperature range: −10 °C to 50 °C
- Integrated 12.1-inch high-brightness, sunlight-readable touchscreen display with multi-touch gesture support and glove-compatible interface
- Dual independent UT channels supporting concurrent conventional UT and PAUT inspection modes
- Real-time A-scan, S-scan, C-scan, and sectorial B-scan visualization with customizable color palettes, gain mapping, and dynamic depth correction
- Onboard encoding support for motorized scanners (linear, orbital, and robotic), compliant with API RP 1104 Annex A and ISO 10893-11 traceability protocols
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The OmniScan X4 128:128PR accommodates a broad spectrum of probe configurations, including linear arrays (up to 128 elements), matrix arrays (e.g., 16×16, 32×32), and dual-linear probes for TOFD and tandem inspections. It supports immersion, contact, and wedge-coupled setups with variable delay laws and custom focal law libraries. All data acquisition adheres to ISO/IEC 17025 documentation standards and integrates seamlessly with third-party reporting tools used in ASNT Level III-certified laboratories. The system is validated for compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements when deployed with optional audit trail and electronic signature modules, making it suitable for regulated sectors including nuclear power plant component verification and aerospace structural health monitoring under FAA AC 20-178B guidelines.
Software & Data Management
Powered by EVIDENT’s OMNIS™ software suite (v5.10+), the X4 128:128PR provides native support for FMC/TFM reconstruction, synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT), and adaptive noise suppression algorithms. Raw RF data is stored in industry-standard .udx format—fully compatible with OmniPC, GageView Pro, and third-party analysis platforms such as CIVA and PISCES. All inspection sessions include embedded metadata (probe ID, calibration date, operator ID, environmental conditions) and support encrypted export via USB 3.0 or secure FTP. Audit logs record every parameter change, file access, and report generation event—ensuring full GLP/GMP traceability and facilitating internal QA audits or external regulatory reviews.
Applications

- Energy: In-service examination of pipeline girth welds, reactor pressure vessel nozzles, and steam generator tubing supports
- Rail Transport: Wheelset axle integrity assessment per EN 1369 and UIC 801-1 standards
- Heavy Manufacturing: Thickness mapping and flaw sizing in thick-section stainless steel vessels and offshore wind tower flanges
- Automotive: Validation of aluminum die-cast suspension components and battery enclosure weld integrity per ISO 13919-1
FAQ
Does the OmniScan X4 128:128PR support Total Focusing Method (TFM) processing onboard?
Yes—the device performs real-time TFM reconstruction at full 128×128 resolution using its dedicated FPGA-accelerated processing engine, with no reliance on external workstations.
Can legacy OmniScan probe files and focal laws be imported directly into the X4 platform?
Yes—backward compatibility is maintained through OMNIS software’s unified focal law editor, enabling seamless migration from MX2 and earlier X3 models.
Is calibration verification traceable to NIST standards?
All factory calibrations are performed against NIST-traceable reference blocks (IIW, ASME, and ISO 2400), with certificates provided per ANSI/NCSL Z540-1.
What encoder interfaces are supported for automated scanning?
Quadrature encoders (A/B/Z), absolute rotary encoders (SSI, BiSS-C), and linear position sensors (LVDT, magnetostrictive) are natively supported with configurable pulse-per-mm scaling.
How is data security managed during remote diagnostics or firmware updates?
All remote sessions require TLS 1.2+ encrypted communication; firmware packages are digitally signed and verified prior to installation to prevent unauthorized modification.
