NDTScan provides advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions tailored for olympus corporation. Our services ensure accurate, compliant, and efficient diagnostics across all sectors, from aerospace to infrastructure. With cutting-edge equipment and over a decade of experience, we deliver certified inspections that minimise downtime and maximise safety. Trust NDTScan for reliable, data-driven reporting that enhances your decision-making and operational excellence.

NDTScan uses Olympus NDT tools for ultrasonic flaw detection, weld inspection, composite evaluation, and remote visual inspection in structural, manufacturing, aerospace, and oil & gas sectors. Olympus is synonymous with reliability and precision in non-destructive evaluation — offering some of the most trusted flaw detection tools globally.

We deploy Olympus systems when high-frequency accuracy, code compliance, or endoscopic visual access is critical to inspection quality.

Continuous Innovation in Precision NDT

Olympus blends durable field-ready hardware with powerful data processing — enabling our team to detect, measure, and report defects with unmatched clarity and compliance.

Why We Use Olympus

Olympus Corporation delivers field durability, diagnostic depth, and regulatory compliance in a single package. Their tools support everything from first-look screening to coded inspection and reporting.

Other Equipment in Use

NDTScan use Sonatest and Eddyfi in specific cases, but Olympus Corporation remains a backbone of our portable flaw detection and visual inspection services.

High-Frequency Accuracy with Olympus Corporation Inspection Systems

NDTScan relies on precision-engineered instruments from Olympus Corporation to carry out ultrasonic, visual, and material inspections where quality, traceability, and compliance are paramount. Known for their robust field tools and advanced signal processing capabilities, Olympus products help us detect defects, measure material loss, and inspect inaccessible components across high-consequence sectors.

From pipelines and turbines to weld seams and aerospace composites, Olympus instruments are used by our technicians to deliver inspections that meet international standards and client-specific criteria. When inspection performance cannot be compromised, Olympus offers the clarity and capability required to get it right the first time.

Supporting High-Risk and Highly Regulated Environments

Olympus Corporation tools are deployed across industries where inspection outcomes are safety-critical and must withstand third-party review. These include:

• Aerospace and aviation component manufacturing

• Oil & gas pressure systems and refinery vessels

• Nuclear and power generation plant infrastructure

• Rail and rolling stock safety inspections

• Shipbuilding, marine, and offshore asset integrity

• Civil infrastructure weld verification and wall thickness tracking

In these sectors, precision is not optional. Our Olympus Corporation equipment allows us to provide high-fidelity imaging and coded flaw detection in accordance with ASME, ISO, AWS, and client-specific standards.

Real-Time Ultrasonic Imaging for Weld and Flaw Inspection

The OmniScan X3 is at the core of our advanced ultrasonic offering. With full phased array UT capabilities, it enables us to visualise defects in real-time, using:

• Full Matrix Capture (FMC)

• Total Focusing Method (TFM)

• Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD)

• Sectoral scanning and multi-group setups

This system is used for detecting and sizing:

• Weld root defects

• Sidewall lack of fusion

• Mid-wall inclusions or porosity

• Cracks, corrosion pitting, and delaminations

With intuitive menus and high-resolution A-scan, B-scan, and C-scan outputs, it enables rapid technician interpretation and client-ready reports — even in the field. The OmniScan X3 is regularly deployed in construction, fabrication, and in-service inspection programmes where confidence in data is paramount.

Rapid Wall Loss Detection with the 38DL PLUS

For fast and accurate thickness checks, the Olympus Corporation 38DL PLUS is one of our go-to instruments. It’s widely used across:

• Storage tanks and process vessels

• Pipeline inspection for corrosion or erosion

• Boiler and pressure system monitoring

• Structural steel section loss tracking

• Ship hull and bulkhead thickness surveys

Its dual-element probe options and A-scan visual feedback allow our technicians to quickly identify thinning, delamination, or loss of protective coatings. It also supports echo-to-echo measurement, allowing accurate readings through painted or coated surfaces without needing to strip back the finish — reducing time, cost, and damage to the asset.

Internal Visual Inspection with IPLEX NX Borescope

When internal access is required and dismantling is not an option, we deploy the Olympus IPLEX NX videoscope — a high-resolution borescope system offering:

• 3D stereo measurement for internal defects

• 360° articulating head for confined spaces

• Flexible probes in multiple diameters and lengths

• High-contrast illumination and digital zoom

It is particularly effective in inspecting:

• Gas turbine blades and combustion chambers

• Weld interiors and pipe bends

• Ducting, ventilation, and process line internals

• Heat exchanger tube bundles and shell internals

This equipment allows visual inspection of corrosion, cracking, pitting, and foreign object intrusion — with image and video capture for immediate reporting and documentation.

Material ID with Vanta Handheld XRF

In critical environments, confirming material type and composition is essential. The Olympus Vanta XRF analyser gives our technicians instant positive material identification (PMI) of:

• Weld filler rods and pipework

• Fabricated structural components

• Alloy verification during construction or repairs

• In-service checks for stainless grades and exotic metals

• Asset registration during audits or retrofits

The Vanta series is portable, ruggedised, and delivers lab-quality elemental analysis in seconds. It is frequently used for:

• Confirming compliance with materials specs

• Supporting site QA/QC procedures

• Avoiding costly misidentification during fabrication or repair

Data-Driven Reporting with Olympus Software

All ultrasonic and phased array inspections are supported by Olympus TomoView and WeldSight software suites. These platforms enable:

• Post-processing of scan data for defect analysis

• Cross-sectional views and accurate sizing tools

• Automatic flaw detection algorithms and waveform analysis

• Exportable, code-ready reporting with digital traceability

This ensures that all inspections meet the documentation demands of highly regulated sectors, including audit trails, export formats for third-party review, and compatibility with long-term data management platforms.

Olympus Corporation Tools Across Our Core Industries

We deploy Olympus Corporation instruments across nearly all NDTScan service areas. Key examples include:

• Oil & Gas: Wall thickness trending on process piping, corrosion under insulation checks, PMI of high-grade steel

• Energy & Power: Phased array inspections of turbine welds, boiler tubes, and heat exchanger components

• Aerospace: Composite evaluation and interior visual inspection of airframe components and engine assemblies

• Marine: Thickness mapping of hulls, decks, and structural stiffeners, both in drydock and afloat

• Construction: Code-compliant weld testing during steel frame erection, crane structure checks, and anchor testing

• Infrastructure: Borescope inspections of bridge cables, structural tubes, and in-situ fabrications

Their rugged field design, fast calibration, and high signal-to-noise ratios make Olympus systems trusted for first-time-right inspections in time-critical environments.
