The Sonic MagTrack S1 PAUT Scanner – TS-MGS1-66

Compact Single-Probe Magnetic PAUT Scanner for Ferrous Pipe, Vessel, and Weld Inspection

The The Sonic MagTrack S1 PAUT Scanner – TS-MGS1-66 is a compact single-probe magnetic scanner designed for PAUT weld inspection, encoded ultrasonic scanning, pipe weld inspection, vessel weld inspection, tank shell weld inspection, and limited-access ferrous surface inspection applications.

The scanner is designed with magnetic wheel holding, built-in positional encoding, compact frame construction, and a single-probe holder system. It allows smooth manual scanning of one PAUT probe and wedge assembly over ferrous pipes, vessels, and weld inspection surfaces.

The TS-MGS1-66 is suitable for applications where compact size, magnetic holding, accurate position feedback, and repeatable scan movement are required.

Product Overview

The MagTrack S1 PAUT Scanner is developed for manual encoded PAUT inspection on ferrous materials. Its magnetic wheel system helps maintain stable contact with the inspection surface, while the built-in encoder provides accurate scan-distance feedback to the ultrasonic inspection system.

The scanner is suitable for circumferential pipe scanning, longitudinal weld scanning, vessel weld inspection, tank shell inspection, plate weld scanning, and general ferrous weld inspection applications.

Its compact body and ergonomic handling make it useful for field inspection, workshop inspection, fabrication weld inspection, maintenance inspection, power plant inspection, refinery inspection, marine inspection, and offshore inspection applications.

Working Principle

The TS-MGS1-66 MagTrack S1 PAUT Scanner holds one PAUT probe and wedge assembly on a compact scanner frame. During inspection, the operator moves the scanner manually over the inspection surface.

The magnetic wheels help the scanner maintain stable contact on ferrous materials. The built-in encoder converts scanner movement into distance-based position pulses. These position signals are transmitted to the ultrasonic inspection system, allowing PAUT data to be recorded according to actual scan distance.

This supports:

• Encoded PAUT weld scanning

• Accurate scan-distance tracking

• Defect location measurement

• Defect length sizing

• Weld mapping

• B-scan and C-scan generation

• Repeatable inspection records

• Position-based ultrasonic data acquisition
