Doppler NOVASCAN V3 Phased Array Flaw Detector – PAUT | TFM

Doppler NOVASCAN V3 is a field-proven, high-end portable ultrasonic flaw detector offering conventional UT, PAUT, TOFD, real-time TFM (Total Focusing Method), and Phase Coherence Imaging (PCI). Released in 32:64, 32:128, 64:64, or 64:128 channel configurations, the NOVASCAN V3 delivers superior signal resolution, deep penetration, and high productivity while streamlining setup times for field inspectors.

Reinventing High-Definition Portable Phased Array & TFM

Equipped with Doppler’s advanced acoustic algorithms and high-voltage excitation, the NOVASCAN V3 elevates non-destructive testing performance. Featuring full-matrix capture (FMC), plane wave imaging (PWI), and standard 3D imaging capabilities, it allows inspectors to characterize challenging flaws with absolute confidence.

Built for All-Level UT Inspectors

With its embedded 3D workpiece simulation and one-click Acoustic Influence Map (AIM), operators can visualize sound beam coverage and optimize focal laws directly on the instrument without external modeling software. The intuitive interface and dedicated physical shortcut keys make high-end PAUT and TFM inspections fast and accessible in any environment.

Benefits

• High-Resolution Imaging & Sizing: Real-time TFM and PCI technology for unprecedented defect characterization and crack sizing.
• Maximum Penetration Power: Pulse voltage up to 200V for Phased Array and 400V for Conventional UT to penetrate thick, coarse-grained, or high-attenuation materials.
• Acoustic Influence Map (AIM): Instant acoustic energy simulation to ensure optimal beam coverage and code compliance.
• 3D Workpiece Simulation: Built-in modeling for complex geometries including fillet welds, pipe longitudinal seams, and B-type sleeves.
• Large Industrial Touchscreen: 12.1-inch sunlight-readable HD display (1280 × 800) with physical control buttons for field efficiency.
• Massive Data Storage: Built-in 1TB SSD handles large data files from continuous raster scanning and corrosion mapping.

Applications

• Multi-group weld inspection: Butt welds, thick-wall pipes, pressure vessels, and structural steel welds.
• Complex geometry welds: Fillet welds, nozzle joints, and clad pipe inspection using DMA / DLA probes.
• Corrosion mapping: High-resolution large area corrosion mapping and composite material evaluation.
• High-temperature & hydrogen damage: HTHA and in-service defect sizing using combined PAUT, TOFD, and TFM modes.
• Critical industries: Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Power Generation, Aerospace, and Heavy Fabrication.

Designed for the Field

Engineered for demanding field conditions, the NOVASCAN V3 features an IP65-rated rugged enclosure and drop resistance in accordance with MIL-STD-810G. Powered by dual hot-swappable high-capacity lithium batteries, it ensures uninterrupted inspection across entire shifts. High-speed connectivity via Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 3.0 allows rapid data transfer and immediate reporting.
