The ideal instrument for manual ultrasonic testing is equipped with the advantages of digital testing technology: robust mechanical and electronic components with a large, high-contrast screen and convenient, practical operator guidance make it virtually indestructible even in rough operating conditions and outdoors. In addition, the device also has a depth compensation and a back wall echo drop.
Optional enhancements with encoder use: Strip Chart and TOFD
With strip chart recording, the position for the respective amplitude is determined by a linear encoder and transmitted digitally to the device. The TOFD method (time-of-flight diffraction technique) established for weld seam testing allows the determination of defect position and size by evaluating diffraction signals generated at the edges of dicontinuities located in the sound path.
Results of wall thickness measurements can be stored in the cells of a matrix grid. Measuring points of the part to be tested are assigned to corresponding cells of the matrix grid. A color-coded visualization of the measured values within the matrix allows for a quick assessment of the flaw distribution, e.g. during the measurement of residual wall thickness on a pipeline.
A user-friendly system guide also supports less experienced ultrasonic testers in probe handling and instrument adjustment: Simply activate the wizard and then follow the instructions on the screen.
