Examples for the various applications of the high performance and light Krautkramer USM 35X. Krautkramer USM 35X Universal Ultrasonic Flaw Detector with Bright Color Display and protected according to IP 66 Inspection of a weld © 2005 General Electric Company. All Rights Reserved. GEIT-20002US (05/05) We reserve the right to technical modifications without prior notice. Weld inspection in the power generation and petrochemical industries • Flaw location with display of all coordinates, sound path, (reduced) surface distance, depth position and leg number • Display of every sound beam reflection (number of half skip distances or legs) and identification of leg color on the "live“ A-scan • New powerful DAC/TCG with JIS DAC module according to JIS Z 3060-2002 • Amplitude evaluation in dB refering to a previously recorded reference echo or according to AWS D1.1 Precise thickness measurement for the automobile industry You can measure the sound path difference precisely at the peaks of an echo sequence with a resolution of 0.01 mm / 0.001 inch. In doing this, trigger the gates at the 1st backwall echo: this automatically positions gates correctly for the measurement. Corrosion wall thickness in the power generation and petrochemical sectors During wall thickness measurement on corroded parts using dual element • DGS evaluation with direct digital ERS readout (USM 35X)probes, you simultaneously check the reading together with the A-scan, thus receiving the maximum reliability for the measurement. On hot surfaces you use the auto-freeze function, minimizing the probe’s contact time. The minimum capture mode gives you the thinnest measured reading at the end of a continuous scan. Inspection of forgings in the power generation and aerospace sectors The manual setting of the pulse repetition frequency down to 4 Hz eliminates phantom echoes while inspecting fine grain and large work pieces. Defects from an equivalent reflector size 0.3 mm onwards will be detected. Inspection of special materials in the aerospace and automobile industry Use probes down to 250 kHz in order to penetrate highly attenuative or composite materials. Our composite probes on the USM 35X will drastically improve the signal-to-noise ratio on sound scattering materials (glass or carbon reinforced plastics, composites or alloys).
