Xpair
Overview
REACH - COLLABORATE - RESOLVE
Xpair opens the doors of true mobility in the NDT market.
Xpair is a PC-based software application solution to manage data transfer and remote control of instruments in the field wherever a network connection is available. Moreover, with the Xpair Cloud option, a user can access and remotely pilot the instrument of a colleague located 1000s of km away using a mobile or wired internet connection.
Xpair solution is compatible with:
- Veo3
- Veo+
- prisma
- RSflite
- Veo 16:64
- Veo 16:128
Features
This amazing and affordable innovation gives users the ability to remotely access their instruments from anywhere around the world to
- Assist in real time technician in the field;
- Take control of all the instrument functionalities;
- Download data for in depth analysis in the office;
- Upload specific setup files to the field technician;
- Upload procedures (PDF) to the field technician.
Based on "on-demand cloud VPN" technology powered by LogMeIn®, Xpair is a fully scalable and flexible solution. It sits on a secure, reliable and worldwide recognised platform, opening the doors to true mobility in the NDT market.
Xpair solution also applies to local applications like the remote control of an instrument attached on the back of an automated scanner meters away. This leads to performant and economic solutions for magnetic crawlers and tank wall inspection for instance.

Ultrasonic Inspection Methods for Composites in Motosports
Composites have become a dominant material in motorsport, accounting for up to 85% of the vehicles used today. This includes all levels of Formula racing including F1, as well as Rally car racing, Moto GP, Karting and many more.
Low Frequency GFRP Imaging with Variable Aperture TFM
Composite Inspection Benefits and Challenges Using Ultrasonic NDT Solutions
Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is widely used by engineers to inspect a range of composite materials including aluminium laminates and carbon fiber-based composites.
Advanced Composite Inspection
A complete picture of a large component can be produced by stitching C-scans together in the UTmap software.
Riser Bolt Inspection with Creo Bolt Scanner
Sonatest performed Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing on one Riser Bolt. A TFM scan was also implemented to increase resolution and flaw fidelity. The bolt can be tested from either end, without removing the bolt from production for testing.
TFMi™ Inspection for monitoring "Blind" Holes
Blind hole inspection is an excellent fit for TFMi™. It really enables a full comprehensive profile view of the internal geometry of a part.
Phased Array Technique for Inspection of Contact Point Corrosion
The PA-CAT™ phased array technique developed by Holloway NDT & Engineering Inc. is an attenuation-based modelling algorithm used to evaluate the minimum remaining wall thickness at pipe or vessel supports.
Wave Inspection of Nozzles and Nodes with non-uniform circumferential weld profiles
The inspection of nozzles and nodes requires a high level of skill and experience for both inspection and interpretation.
Phased Array Bolt Inspection, Encoded and Freehand
Bolts are used in every industry over multiple applications from holding storage vessels and structures to the ground to connecting high pressure pipework and holding wind turbine blades in place.
Wind Turbine Bolt Inspection Utilising Ultrasonic Phased Arrays
Bolts are vital for the long and safe running of wind turbines both on and offshore, they can be found in the Foundation, intersection flanges in the tower, holding the blades and in multiple areas within the Nacelle as well as ancillary structures.
