Contact Point Corrosion Inspection at its finest

The STIX - 2 Probe PA-CAT Scanner provides a complete AOD (axial, outside diameter) and COD (circumferential, outer diameter) solution for the implementation of pitch-catch techniques like PA-CAT for phased array inspection of contact point corrosion (corrosion under pipe support - CUPS). Capable of operation on pipes 7.6 cm (3 in) and up, the STIX can convert to either axial or circumferential direction.

Features

Axial, outside diameter

Perform AOD inspection of contact point corrosion at pipe supports in the axial direction.

Circumferential, outside diameter

COD allows the user to detect and measure contact point corrosion in the circumferential direction.

Magnetic Wheels

Strong magnetic wheels keep the scanner in place on any ferrous surface. 

Handle

The convenient handle also doubles as a cable management solution.

Spring-Loaded Encoder

The spring-loaded encoder provides precise encoded positional feedback to any model of instrument the client chooses.

Vertical Probe Holder

The versatility of the vertical probe holder is on full display when using the STIX - 2 probe PA-CAT scanner. Transverse adjustment, height adjustment, and angle adjustment are just a few of the capabilities needed for this probe holder.

Adjustability

The scanner features pivoting frame bars which allow for seemingly limitless possibilities.

Warranty

A three-year limited warranty is included with all JIREH products.
