ULTRASONIC FLAW DETECTOR
EPOCH LTC
The EPOCH LTC digital ultrasonic flaw
detector offers state-of-the-art technology in
a compact and lightweight package. Based
on the class-leading EPOCH XT, the
EPOCH LTC is full featured, complies with
the EN 12668-1 standard, and has various
specialized options to meet your inspection
needs.
Ultrasonic flaw detection is widely used in
locating and sizing hidden cracks, voids,
disbonds, and similar discontinuities in
welds, forgings, billets, axles, shafts, tanks
and pressure vessels, turbines, and
structural components.
The EPOCH LTC features a bright, multi-
color transflective, full-VGA (640 pixels x
480 pixels) display offering high-resolution
A-scans and superior visibility in all lighting
conditions, including direct sunlight. The
EPOCH LTC is also designed for IP67
rating, ensuring that the instrument can
perform in the harsh environments com-
mon in the inspection field.
