About Ultrasonic Flaw Detector
As an Authorized dealer we are engaged in providing the broad assortment of "NDT Instrument" for various applications.
These powerful bench top & hand-held mini flaw detectors combine state of-the-art flaw detection with advanced ultrasonic material thickness capabilities.
The Elcometer FD700 and FD800 range, 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.
The FD700 series are a combined corrosion gauge and flaw detector that measures with extreme versatility.
When the GAUGE function is set to THICKNESS GAUGE, the FD700 series becomes a Corrosion Gauge which has the ability to measure coatings and material thickness simultaneously while maintaining the ability to locate pits, flaws and defects in the material. Based on the same operating principles as SONAR, the FD700 series are capable of measuring the thickness of various materials with accuracy as high as +/- 1% or +/- 0.1 millimetres (+/- 0.005 inches) whichever is the greater.
When the GAUGE function is set to FLAW DETECTOR, the gauges become a Flaw Detector which have the ability to detect the size and position of flaws and to differentiate between flaw types in various materials and welded joints.
FEATURES :
- Two gauges in one: Corrosion (thickness) gauge and Flaw Detector
- Wide range of thickness measurement modes: Pulse-Echo, Echo-Echo, Echo-Echo Verify, Coating Only, Pulse-Echo with Temperature Compensation, and Pulse-Echo with Coating
- Automatic: probe zero, probe recognition, and temperature compensation.
- Adjustable gain settings.
- Stores up to 64 custom setups for specific applications.
- High speed scan mode of up to 50 readings per second.
- Audible/visual alarm with high and low limit settings.
- Differential mode for QC inspections.
- Colour display.
- Radio frequency RF and RECT A-Scan displays.
- Time based B-Scan display for cross section material scans (thickness gauge).
- Measurement data storage formats: Alpha numeric grid and sequential with auto identifier.
- Data can be downloaded to a computer for analysis and storage.
The principal advantage of ultrasonic thickness measurement over traditional methods is that ultrasonic measurements can be performed with access to only one side of the material being measured. The gauges include a data-logging (memory) facility which allows readings and waveforms to be stored in batches before being downloaded to a computer.

FAQs of Ultrasonic Flaw Detector:
Q: How does the Ultrasonic Flaw Detector identify defects in materials?
A: This device sends ultrasonic pulses into a specimen; reflected signals from flaws or material boundaries are analyzed in real-time using digital processing. Results are displayed instantly, aiding in the detection of cracks, voids, or inclusions in metals, welds, and castings.
Q: What types of probes can be used with this flaw detector?
A: The instrument supports both single and double crystal probes, compatible with standard and angle beam configurations. This flexibility allows effective evaluation of various geometries and materials, depending on inspection requirements.
Q: Where can the detector be employed for testing?
A: This portable device is suitable for use in industrial workshops, construction sites, maintenance facilities, and quality control labs. Its IP54 rating ensures protection against dust and splashes, making it ideal for harsh and diverse environments.
Q: When should I perform calibration on the detector?
A: Calibration should be performed before each testing session to ensure measurement accuracy. The device provides both automatic and manual calibration modes for user convenience and precise results.
Q: What is the process for storing and retrieving inspection data?
A: The detector can store up to 1,000 A-scan datasets internally. Data can be retrieved later for review, reporting, or transfer to a PC using USB or an optional Bluetooth module, enhancing traceability and documentation.
Q: How long can the device operate continuously on battery power?
A: With its rechargeable lithium battery, the Ultrasonic Flaw Detector delivers up to 8 hours of continuous usesuitable for long inspection shifts without frequent recharging.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this flaw detector for industrial testing?
A: Key advantages include precise flaw detection, rapid response time, robust construction, easy operation, and comprehensive data management. It significantly enhances safety and quality control for distributors, exporters, suppliers, and industrial users.
