|
Request Pricing | ||
The Sitescan 500s offers the end user an entry level broad band flaw detector with full VGA display, sync and proportional outputs and a 50nS (Spike) 200V Pulser. High levels of near surface resolution, penetrating power and excellent signal to noise ratio are key functions in the Sitescan range. The 500S has a color transflective VGA display, providing high visibility in any lighting condition and the enhanced user interface and full A-Scan display is available at the touch of a button. The 500S enclosure is constructed using impact resistant materials and is designed to meet IP67 standards, offering excellent water resistance and harsh conditions. Typical applications are Weld Fabrication, Corrosion Detection, Forgings & Castings and general UT inspection.
The Corrosion Software option includes the B-Scan display function which shows the cross section of the material based on its wall thickness. The B-Scan has selected update rates from 3 to 10 times per second, and can be stored with the thickness readings and transferred to the PC via UTLity.
Quick accurate measurement of beam profile is made easy by the new angle measurement mode. The instrument automatically converts the indication from a side drilled hole of known diameter and depth to the angle of the reflector from the beam exit point. Using the built-in peak detection mode, as shown, the beam profile for any transducer can be confirmed in moments.
AVG/DGS software can be configured for any transducer and gives repeatable sizing of flaws with direct readout of Equivalent Reflector Size. The visible ERS curve can be adjusted to display the desired acceptance level and used to trigger the alarm and measurement reading.
With this option enabled, measurements of Indication Level (IL), Attenuation Factor (AF), and Indication Rating (IR) are calculated and displayed in accordance with AWS D1.1.
UTLity software provides everything you need to manage your inspection data. The Standard version is FREE with every instrument and gives you the ability to view, move and manage Calibrations, A-Scans, B-Scans and Thickness Logs both on the instrument and on your PC. With UTLity you can also create customized inspection report templates, cut and paste information to other applications, and create printable pdf documents.
