It is not easy to determine the real differences between Flaw Detectors and Thickness Gauges having an A-Scan Display... What DO both instruments have in common? • an LCD A-Scan Display, providing various display modes • Display Set Functions (Delay, Range, etc.) • Set Functions for Gain, Sound Velocity, Frequency Ranges, Rectifier, • Multiple Gates (including Gate-B triggered by Gate-A) • Multiple Thickness Indicators • Tolerance Monitors for Min and Max values • Echo Freeze Mode • Storage for Instrument Settings • Data Logger/Recorder • Remote Control by and Data Transfer to/from a PC via RS 232 Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems
It is not easy to determine the real differences between Flaw Detectors and Thickness Gauges having an A-Scan Display... A USM 35X costs @ $11,500.00 A DMS 2 TC costs @ $7,500.00 ________________ There is an attractive price difference of @ $4,000.00 Why not buy a DMS 2 TC as a Flaw Detector?

It is not easy to determine the real differences between Flaw Detectors and Thickness Gauges having an A-Scan Display... What is UNIQUE for a Flaw Detector? • Prepared for universal US Applications • connectable to ALL probes of all types and Frequencies • More Precision in Display and Gate Parameter Settings • Transit Time AND Amplitude evaluation (DGS, TCG, CGB, AVG, DAC) • High Pulse Repetition Frequency and Transmitter Pulse for (Semi)automatic scanning • Prepared for special Echo-Analysis (Time --> Frequency domain) • Prepared for a better acoustical Resolution (between 2 Echoes) Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems
It is not easy to determine the real differences between Flaw Detectors and Thickness Gauges having an A-Scan Display... What is UNIQUE for a Thickness Gauge with A-Scan Display? • Specialized for Full Range Thickness Measurement Applications (independent of Display Setting) • Dialog Probes are Recognized for a better Documentation • Individual Breakpoints and V-Path Correction out of Dialog Probes • On-Block Zeroing Procedures for Delay Line Temperature Compensation • Off-Block Zeroing for Bad Material Surfaces • Dialog Probes are able to store individual Parameter Settings like Gain, Filtering, Main Bang Blockout (Gate), Thresholds • B-Scan, Auto-V and TopCoat for Thickness Measurement without knowing the Sound Velocity • Automatic Amplitude regulation during Peak Measurements • Only 4 small AA Batteries for 40 hours Operating Time (due to low PRF) • Data Recorder with several Structures including A/B-Scan Attachments Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems
It is not easy to determine the real differences between Flaw Detectors and Thickness Gauges having an A-Scan Display... Why is a Thickness Gauge with A-Scan Display not a Flaw Detector? • It cannot use any Type of probe: eg. NO angle beam probe • No Distance Amplitude Correction on Board • No Amplitude measurement and/or evaluation • Risk of missing Flaws during (Semi) automatic scanning • No evaluation of Echo Forms Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems
