Pocket UT™, Portable Ultrasonic C-Scan Imaging System

MISTRAS offers the innovative Pocket UT™, a battery-operated, hand-held, stand-alone, full C-Scan data acquisition system. Its portability and ease of use, coupled with its full A, B and C-Scan capability and optional TOFD capabilities, make the Pocket UT™ System (along with available companion scanners or other compatible devices) ideal for on-site inspection applications. It quickly assesses the presence, depth, shape and orientation of cracks, flaws, corrosion/erosion, delamination, and internal anomalies in a variety of structures, materials and surfaces.

The 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 modes. The system has a bright, back-lit LCD color touchscreen and an easy-to-use keypad for fast entry of common commands and data.

Weighing approximately 2 lbs. (.9 kg), the Pocket UT™ uses the Windows-CE™operating system and integrates all ultrasonic components together in a rugged, rubber-encased enclosure. With a user-replaceable and rechargeable battery pack, the system can also operate via the included 100-240 Volt AC/DC adapter/charger.

The Pocket UT™ System includes an internal spike, square wave and tone burst ultrasonic pulser/receiver, data acquisition software, motion control hardware and software for scanning, signal capture, display, analysis, replay, transfer or storage.

Companion scanners include automated or manual X-Y scanners (using a variety of transducers), or a single axis "R-Scan". This incorporates a unique dry-coupled rolling sensor and linear encoder that enables full C-Scan data acquisition in a hand held scanner. The rolling sensor permits the scanner to be used without messy couplant on most surfaces encountered in an industrial or field environment.

In addition to connecting many single and 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.
