9. Unique selling points GE Proprietary Information Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page

10. Explanation of selling features • Jflank time of flight measurement : • 6 DAC curves are drawn on the screen • 4 areas are defined between the the 4 major curves:L, M, H, and U • The instrument automatically classify the flaw depending of the area where it occurred (I, II, III, IV) • The reference curve can be selected (bold curve) GE Proprietary Information Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page

11. Explanation of selling features • Jflank time of flight measurement: • It often happen to have a bigger root than expected. • This reflector generate a big echo on the screen GE Proprietary Information Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page

12. Explanation of selling features • Jflank time of flight measurement: • A defect can appear before the root echo GE Proprietary Information Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page

13. Explanation of selling features • Jflank time of flight measurement: • In Flank mode, the TOF will be measured on the first echo and the amplitude will be measured on the bigger echo. • In Peak mode, the TOF and the amplitude will be measured on the bigger echo GE Proprietary Information Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page

14. Explanation of selling features • Jflank time of flight measurement:The inspector needs: • TOF is measured on the first echo • Amp is measured on the first echo • This is what Jflank does With Jflank it is not necessary to adjust the gate to exclude the root echo GE Proprietary Information Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page

15. Applications summary • Outdoor inspections: • Weld • Corrosion • Indoor • Weld • Forged parts, casting… GE Proprietary Information Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page

16. Value statement • The general purpose Flaw detector with unique combination of: • IP 66 environmental protection • An extended temperature range of use • An extended operating time range • Jis Dac / Jflank GE Proprietary Information Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page

17. Value calculationsJIS DAC • This can allow lower skilled people to perform JIS DAC inspections : • In Japan • In Asia • Everywhere customers are subcontractors • from Japanese companies • Economy: on manpower cost $160 per day. GE Proprietary Information Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page

18. Value calculations Extended operating time • It happen that an instrument runs out of battery before the end of an inspection. In this case: • A couple of hours are lost to partially charge the battery (costs :$100 each time) • Or an additional battery and an external battery charger has to be purchased: TBA) • The 14 hours extended battery life represents 2 shifts at 80 to 90% of operation, minimizing drastically the risk of running out of battery.

19. Value calculations New features: Jflank, New DAC recording function • A substantial economy can be realized by reducing the time lost by the operator to operate the instrument. • Jflank will reduce gate adjustments • The new DAC recording function will automatically optimize the amplitude of the echo while recording the references.
