The Sonic CodeTrack D2 TOFD Scanner – TS-CTD2-16

The Sonic CodeTrack D2 TOFD Scanner – TS-CTD2-16

Manual Encoded TOFD Scanner for Code Weld Inspection Applications

The The Sonic CodeTrack D2 TOFD Scanner – TS-CTD2-16 is a compact manual encoded scanner designed for TOFD weld inspection, code-compliant ultrasonic weld examination, conventional encoded UT inspection, thickness monitoring, and limited-access weld scanning applications.

The scanner is designed to hold two TOFD probe and wedge assemblies on a compact frame bar arrangement. It provides stable probe positioning, controlled probe spacing, and accurate scan-distance feedback for repeatable encoded inspection.

The TS-CTD2-16 is suitable for inspection of pipe welds, plate welds, vessel welds, tank shell welds, fabrication welds, and code-based weld examination applications.

Product Overview

The CodeTrack D2 TOFD Scanner is developed for manual encoded TOFD inspection where two probes are required to scan a weld in a controlled and repeatable manner.

The scanner allows two TOFD probes and wedges to be mounted on an adjustable frame bar. During scanning, the spring-loaded encoder tracks scanner movement and provides position feedback to the ultrasonic inspection system.

This allows inspection data to be recorded with accurate scan-distance reference, supporting reliable reporting, defect positioning, defect length measurement, and code inspection documentation.

Working Principle

The TS-CTD2-16 CodeTrack D2 TOFD Scanner holds two TOFD probes and wedges at the required spacing across the weld inspection zone. During scanning, the operator manually moves the scanner along the weld.

The spring-loaded encoder remains in contact with the inspection surface and converts scanner movement into digital position pulses. These pulses are transmitted to the ultrasonic inspection system, allowing TOFD data to be recorded according to actual scan distance.

This supports:

• TOFD weld examination

• Code-compliant weld inspection

• Accurate scan-distance tracking

• Defect location measurement

• Defect length sizing

• Encoded ultrasonic data recording

• Repeatable inspection reporting

• Weld integrity documentation
