DMTA020-01EN, Rev. C, March 2014 1. Setting Up and Operating the HST-X04 Scanner The HST-X04 scanner is a versatile pipe and plate scanner, which can be used to inspect welds using TOFD or pulse-echo techniques. Description The HST-X04 scanner is composed of two probe holders mounted on a bar. A mini- encoder is installed on one of the probe holders (see Figure 1-1 on page 11).
DMTA020-01EN, Rev. C, March 2014 Assembling the Scanner This section presents the assembly procedures for the HST-X04 scanner, which include installing a probe and wedge in a probe holder, installing and adjusting a probe holder, and installing the Mini-Wheel encoder.
1.2.3 Installing an Encoder The Mini-Wheel encoder (see Figure 1-4 on page 14) can be installed two different ways according to the scanning direction needed. Setting Up and Operating the HST-X04 Scanner...
DMTA020-01EN, Rev. C, March 2014 Figure 1-4 The Mini-Wheel encoder and cable When the probes are perpendicular to the weld and the scanning direction is parallel to the weld, the Mini-Wheel encoder is installed on the outside of the encoder holder (see Figure 1-5 on page 14).
Use the hexagonal key to loosen the screw securing the Mini-Wheel encoder pin into the encoder holder (see Figure 1-7 on page 15). Loosen encoder- holder screw on the probe holder. Figure 1-7 The two encoder holder screws Setting Up and Operating the HST-X04 Scanner...
The HST-X04 scanner is designed for manual use, and is straightforward to operate. Once the HST-X04 scanner is setup for the size of pipe or plate you wish to inspect (see section “Assembling the Scanner” on page 12), use the following procedure to operate the scanner.
DMTA020-01EN, Rev. C, March 2014 2. Probes, Wedges, and Ordering Part Numbers This chapter presents a list of probes and wedges that can be used with the HST-X04 scanner and describes the parts that are included in the scanner kit.
The XX part of the transducer part number indicates that two types of connectors are available: SM (Microdot connectors) or SL (LEMO 00 connectors) Wedges Table 4 on page 18 describes the wedges used for inspections made with the HST-X04 scanner. Table 4 Miniature TOFD Screw-in Wedges...
LEMO connector cannot be used in combination with SPE wedges, due to mechanical interference. Ordering Part Numbers To order replacement parts for the HST-X04 scanner, please refer to Table 5 on page 19 below. Table 5 HST-X04 scanner ordering part numbers...
