Ultrasonic flaw detector handles weld inspection to corrosion monitoring
- April 20, 2015
- Product Release
- Testing and Measuring
GE Measurement & Control offers the new Krautkramer USM Vision+ ultrasonic flaw detector, which can be operated in both conventional and phased-array modes. With fast, intuitive access to all relevant ultrasonic parameters, the unit can be used for applications from weld inspection to corrosion monitoring while retaining control of the total process from calibration to post-inspection data processing.
The unit, which can be used for any weld configuration, circumferential or longitudinal, is compatible with a variety of motion encoders. Its phased-array 16-128 configuration helps ensure compliance with all accepted inspection codes while providing fast, comprehensive scanning. It can be used for parallel scanning, allowing an inspector to scan both sides of a weld in one pass, and the phased-array transducer elements can be grouped to provide simultaneous backwall monitoring or to allow inspection of complex components and structures, including billet, forgings, and castings.
Using the company’s DM phased-array probes, the unit can be used for corrosion inspection and monitoring. The instrument is designed to operate with a variety of low-profile scanners, including the very low-profile Palm scanner.
