Krautkrämer PAXYS Portable Phased Array Scanner

Powered by Waygate’s patented comPAct technology, PAXYS brings the power of high-performance PAUT to corrosion thickness mapping. Ideal for asset owners and inspection service providers, PAXYS enables faster inspections, reduced labor costs, and improved access to challenging inspection areas, while eliminating the complexity typically associated with full-featured PAUT systems.

Product Information

Krautkrämer PAXYS comPAct upgrades corrosion mapping from manual UT grids to a portable, scanner-based workflow, enabling single-inspector operation, faster deployment, and consistent data capture, even on difficult-to-access assets.

By combining encoded scanning with a lightweight, integrated system, PAXYS delivers repeatable thickness data and clear C-scan visualization without the setup, manpower, or complexity of larger PAUT systems.

Key Applications:

Corrosion thickness mapping and reporting for oil and gas assets
• Routine maintenance and outage inspections
• Rope access and confined space inspections

Benefits:

  • Access difficult-to-reach inspection areas – Compact design enables operation in rope-access, confined, vertical, or remote environments where traditional approaches are impractical.
  • Reduced manpower requirements in the field – Scanner-based acquisition allows single-inspector execution, reducing dependence on multi-person crews and lowering labor intensity per job.
  • More agile corrosion mapping in the field – Fast setup and simple deployment support rapid mobilization and on-site adaptability during turnaround work.
  • More repeatable and defensible data – Encoded scanning minimizes operator variability, delivering consistent datasets and reducing reinspection risk.
  • Clear corrosion visualization for reporting – C-scan maps provide clear wall-loss visualization for faster interpretation and improved stakeholder communication.
