The ACS A2072 IntroScan is an advanced ultrasonic scanner and flaw detection system designed for professional in-line inspection (ILI) of industrial pipelines and compressor stations. The system combines guided wave ultrasonic technology , visual inspection and intelligent scanning to identify corrosion, weld defects and material defects in pipelines without the need for coupling fluid.

The A2072 IntroScan from ACS – Acoustic Control Systems uses a phased array antenna with 32 dry point transducers (DPC) that generate guided wave ultrasound (SH waves) in the pipe wall. This allows for the inspection of long sections of the pipe system quickly and efficiently.

The system is developed for demanding industrial environments within:

• oil and gas

• energy

• process industry

• offshore

• maintenance and integrity control

Why choose ACS A2072 IntroScan?

✔ Guided wave ultrasound without coupling fluid
The A2072 IntroScan uses dry point contact (DPC) and does not require fluid coupling during inspection.

✔ Advanced Pipeline Inspection (ILI)
Developed specifically for in-line inspection of industrial pipelines and compressor stations.

✔ Detects corrosion, welding defects and material defects

The system identifies both surface and volumetric defects in the pipe wall.

✔ Integrated visual inspection with HD camera
The A2072 IntroScan has built-in HD cameras with LED lighting and a 180° field of view for simultaneous visual inspection.

✔ Magnetic crawler for demanding pipe systems
The magnetic drive platform moves through bends, T-pipes and reducers in the piping system.

✔ Remote control via Wi-Fi / radio channel
The operator can control the system and receive data in real time up to 1500 linear meters away.

✔ 3D topology and pipe mapping
Built-in sensors detect movement and geometry for advanced pipe analysis.
