NDT Systems Curlin Air Air-Coupled Composite Bond Tester
The Curlin Air is a non-contact, through transmission, air-coupled ultrasonic flaw detector. With an operating frequency of 50kHz, very low compared to conventional ultrasonic testing, the system is able to detect abnormalities in the sound path through even the most attenuating materials. The Curlin Air requires no surface preparation and can penetrate up to 6 inches (150mm) of foam, wood, honeycomb and other materials with a high air volume ratio.
A transmitting and receiving probe are positioned on opposite sides of the test object by means of a mechanical yoke or a pair of magnetic wheeled carriers. The live displays show instantly if the sound path is interrupted by a defect in the material. Flaw gates and alarms can be programmed and stored for each application.

Unique Applications:
Carbon-fiber sandwich with honeycomb core:
Aerospace application for control surfaces, thrust reversers, cargo-door inspecting for skin-core disbonds or damaged core.
Carbon-Carbon:
Space application used for heat shields-inspecting for delaminations, disbonds in highly porous material.
Metal sandwich with foam core:
A typical construction used for fire doors and walls. Inspecting for voids in the foam core.
Solid Foam:
Inspecting for cracks or voids internally.
Drywall:
Used extensively in the construction industry
Multiple core sandwich:
Marine composites application with multiple core sheets and glue lines between- inspecting for skin to core and core to core disbonds.
