Pocket UT: Hand-Held Ultrasonic Full C-Scan System
Interested in an innovative tool to quickly assess depth, delaminations, corrosion/erosion and other internal anomalies in a variety of applications?
The Pocket UT™ is a battery-operated, handheld ultrasonic testing (UT) system with full C-scan data acquisition capability. Portable and easy to use, the Pocket UT™ System along with its available companion scanners and other compatible devices is ideal for on-site inspection applications. The unit is equipped with an internal ultrasonic pulser/receiver, data acquisition software, motion control hardware and software for scanning, signal capture, display, analysis, replay, transfer, and storage.
Pocket
UT can operate as a conventional thickness meter (for spot readings),
a basic flaw detector – with RF display and alarm gates, or in either
active B-Scan or full C-Scan data acquisition, display and analysis. It
can be integrated with virtually any available single or dual-axis scanner
(with standard interfaces) - manual or automated (with conventional or
dry-coupled UT transducers). The system has an easy-to-use keypad for
fast entry of common commands and a bright, back-lit TFT screen for detailed
data entry, system control and image presentation.
Weighing approximately 2 lbs. (.9 kg), the system uses Windows-CETM
operating system. All ultrasonic components are integrated together in
a rugged, rubber-encased enclosure. With a user-replaceable, rechargeable
battery pack, the system can also be operated via the included 90 - 240
Volt AC/DC adapter/charger.
Companion scanners include automated or manual
X-Y scanners (using a variety of transducers), or our “Z-Scan”
dual-axis scanner which incorporates a unique, dry-coupled rolling sensor
and dual-axis encoders that enable full C-Scan data acquisition with a
“free motion” hand-held scanning operation. The rolling sensor
permits the scanner to be used without couplant on most unprepared surfaces
that would be encountered in an industrial or field environment.
The Pocket UT system includes an internal ultrasonic pulser/receiver,
data acquisition software, motion control hardware and software for scanning,
signal capture, display, analysis, replay, transfer or storage. The complete
system also includes integrated compact flash disk capability. All data
can be directly transferred to laptop or desktop computers using the flash
memory or USB port. The data can be off-loaded and further processed (if
desired) in a more office type environment.
In addition to the connection to many dual-axis manual scanners, software
is included to directly operate and control many automated dual-axis scanning
systems or other portable X-Y and
Pipe Scanning systems.
