Gauge features for Flaw detection mode

Flaw Detection capabilities / tool kits:

• TRIG enabling location of flaws in both surface

distance and depth from the transducer.

• TCG (time corrected gain) increases gain as

time increases, in order to achieve an overall

level of sensitivity for the same flaw/reflector

at different distances.

• DAC for the creation of DAC curves which are used to inform the operator of the size of any given flaw at any depth.

• AWS function provides automatic defect

sizing in accordance with AWS D1.1 structural welding code.

• DGS/AVG allows automatic defect sizing from a single reference defect.

Automatic Calibration:

Longitudinal (straight), or Shear (angle)

Probe Types:

Single Contact, Dual, Delay & Angle

Material Velocity Table:

Contains longitudinal and shear velocities for a variety of material types

TRIG

Trigonometric display of beam path, depth, surface distance, and curved surface correction.

Used with angle beam transducers

DAC
