Overview
The harshest industrial environments requirerugged and reliable NDT inspectionproducts specifically designed to stand up to any conditions.
There are few inspection tools more versatile than the portable ultrasonic flaw detector. It is ideally suited to stand up to a wide range of inspection challenges including:
- Weld inspectionand corrosion measurement in theOil & Gas,Power Generation, andPetrochemicalindustries
- Inspection offine-grained and long work forgings
- Inspection ofspecial materials, including those used in theAerospaceandAutomobileindustries
Performcomprehensive and highly accurate NDT flaw detection inspectionson industrial assets without interrupting operations or putting personnel at risk.
The Krautkramer USM 36 portable ultrasonic flaw detector benefits include:
- Powerful inspection features in a compact, ergonomic package. Combined state of the art flaw detection capabilities with a lightweight and nearly indestructible design.
- Large 7-inch high-resolution color screen with streamlined operation.Data is easy to view and interpret, and together with an operating platform familiar in the market makes in-the-field inspection easier than ever.
- Comprehensive connectivity enables nimble data analysis and sharing.Inspection results can be stored on a removable SD-card or USB memory and a VGA connection allows the instrument’s display to be shown externally.
An important improvement in the Krautkrämer USM 36 is itslarge 7-inch screen, with an 800x480 pixel resolution. The entire area is available todisplay crisp A-scans, making it the best in its class. Signals can be easily viewed and accurately interpreted,even in bright sunlight, with tired eyes at the end of a long working day.
- The Krautkrämer USM 36 uses thefamiliar rotary knobs of previous modelsbut the function keys have now been minimized into asimple, intuitive 6-key keyboard, allowing simple and efficient operation.
- Inspection set-up is also easy. Not only for technicians who have used USM Go or USM Go+ for previous inspections, asset-up data is transferabledirectly from these instruments, which share the same user interface. This also ensures a rapid learning curve for technicians familiar with the USM Go instruments.
Data reporting on the Krautkrämer USM 36 can also includescreenshots and A-scan videos, where A-scans can be recorded for subsequent analysis or to provide proof of inspection. All dataand reports can be injpeg or BMP format. Connectivity is a major feature of the Krautkrämer USM 36.Data can be stored on a removable SD-card or USB memory stick, either for record purposes or to allow data sharing. AVGA连接allows the instrument’s display to beshown on an external monitoror on a projector screen for training purposes.
- The Krautkrämer USM 36 isfully protected against dust and water ingress to IP66and can be operated in ambient temperatures from-10°C to +55°C. It can be used in sandy deserts, frozen wastelands, and in the humid tropics.
- The Krautkrämer USM 36 flaw detectorweighs just 2.2 kgand is battery- or mains- operated. ItsLi-ion battery has an operating life of more than 13 hours, with anintegrated battery chargerfor those longer shifts.
The versatile instrument is offered in three versions to meet the most standard inspection codes. The most advanced version can operate inDAC, AWS, and DGSmodes, features a powerful square wave pulser for excellent material penetration, andcan accommodate Waygate Technologies patented trueDGS probetechnology, which offers unrivaled accuracy in the sizing of flaws using the DGS method, as well the patentedPhantom Echo Detectiontechnology.
