The bench-top FD800DL flaw detectors series combine state-of-the-art flaw detection with advanced material thickness capabilities.
With all the functionality of the top-of-the-range material thickness gauge, the FD800+ series, when in flaw detection mode offers a variety of tool kits which enable fast and accurate flaw detection, ideal for weld inspection, forgings or composite material testing.
Tool kits include:
- TRIG enabling the location of flaws in both surface distance and depth.
- 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.
- AVG/DGS allows automatic defect sizing using probe data, storing up to 64 custom setups.
- TCG (time corrected gain) increases gain as distance increases, in order to achieve an overall level of sensitivity for the same flaw/reflector at different distances.
