Portable Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors

Sonic 1000S+

Weighing less than 4 lbs. (1.8 kg) with customer-interchangeable displays, the Sonic 1000S+ offers users excellent ultrasonic testing resolution. The availability of a color LCD or monochrome LCD for indoor or bright outdoor conditions or a Hi-Brite electroluminescent (EL) display for normal to dark conditions provides the ultimate in flexibility and convenience. Its rugged, well designed housing, uncomplicated front panel, SmartKnobTM and built in PowerLinkTM technology, make it a truly revolutionary user-friendly hand held portable ultrasonic flaw detector. This unit operates on a single lithium ion battery or optional D-Cell battery pack.
An RS-232 port provides bi-directional communication and print capability. FlawMaster™ Windows-based software provides a user-friendly interface for communication between the Sonic 1000S+ and PCs. A-scans, instrument settings, thickness readings, and report contents are all available for review, archive, uploading, and downloading via a PC.
The High Resolution (HR) option was designed for applications requiring high resolution, such as thickness gauging of thin materials. Enhancements such as 15 MHz narrow band receiver setting and a square wave pulser with width control to 15 ns and enhanced signal processing provide the HR option with the ability to measure down to 0.005 inches (0.127 mm) of steel.
