Additional Information

  • The NDT 815 MVX Thickness Gauge is equipped with multiple viewing options to provide users with a complete set of inspection tools: (RF waveform, +/- Rectified waveform, Time based B-Scan, and Large Digits).
  • The adjustable square wave pulser provides the flexibility necessary for both high resolution and penetration requirements.
  • The A-Scan rectified mode is commonly used for detecting flaws/pits in pulse-echo mode and measuring thru-paint and coatings in echo-echo mode.
  • The time-based B-Scan feature of the NDT 815 displays a cross section of the test material. It is commonly used to display the profile of the bottom surface of the test material.
  • Built-in AGC gain control for thru-paint measurements in multi-mode operation.
  • Prove up flaw detection capability when using the optional single to dual transducer adapter cable along with an angle beam transdcuer and wedge assembly.
  • The variety of calibration options is just one more example of NDT 815’s overall versatility.
  • The NDT 815 has the ability to store up to 64 custom user-defined setups. All factory setups can be selected, edited and saved to any setup location.
  • The NDT 815 is equipped with an alpha-numeric data logger to provide increased versatility for those custom reporting needs.
  • The built-in transducer types offer increased linearity between transducers.
  • The high speed scan feature speeds up the inspection process by making 32 measurements per second. Remove transducer from the test material and display the minimum measurement scanned.
  • Use the visual alarm to set hi and lo limits for applications requiring specific tolerances. If the actual thickness value is above or below the limits, a red light is illuminated.
  • Use the find feature to locate the detection point, while automatically adjusting the display to bring the signal into view.
  • Complete with Windows® based software and interface cable for transferring data to & from a PC.
  • 2 year limited warranty
