The Ultimate in Portable Ultrasonic Inspection

Our ECHO series represents a breakthrough in portable ultrasonic inspection. The ECHO series can quickly and

easily switch from corrosion or precision thickness gaging, to aw detector all oered in a rugged, custom package.
The perfect size of t and function! Hold the ECHO in your hand and you will agree no detail has been overlooked
and the ergonomics are unmatched by any thickness gage in the industry! The new ECHO series comes in several
congurations. ECHO 9 is our corrosion gage using dual transducers, ECHO 7 is our precision thickness gage with

1 micron resolution using single element transducers and ECHO 8 is the ultimate unit combining corrosion and

precision thickness gage utilizing both dual and single element transducers. ECHO FD is our aw detector.

ECHO series was designed specically as a platform to
allow the instrument total exibility. What this means is

you are never stuck with just a basic model, but rath-

er, an instrument that can expand with you as your
business and applications expand. The ECHO series is
available in many congurations as listed in the models

chart. An inspection company may be required to do
every day thickness surveys requiring a live waveform

and datalogger and also need to perform AWS weld

inspection work; the model for you would be the ECHO

9FD allowing you to quickly and easily switch from
corrosion to aw mode in seconds. We also address

a wide variety of features and budgets to meet your

every need. The platform allows for quick updating of
software directly from the keypad so unlocking the un­limited potential of the ECHO platform is simply a few
keystrokes away.

The ECHO series has a remarkable sunlight readable

3.5” color display, up to 32 GB of micro SD memory,
built-in rechargeable high capacity Li Ion battery all
packaged in a custom case designed for IP67 rating.
ECHO Series can measure from 0.020” to 23” in steel in
corrosion mode or as thin as 0.006” in steel when con-

gured as a precision thickness gage.

ECHO SERIES

ECHO Thickness Gage Series Standard Features

• Compatible with a wide variety of Danatronics and
common competitors dual and single element trans­ducers

• Change color and VIBRATE on alarm (ideal for inspec­tions in loud environments)

• 27 hour battery life with hi-capacity re-chargeable
battery pack via the USB port

• Wide thickness range (0.006” to 23” depending on

gage type, material and transducer)

• Inches, mm or µSec

• Multiple languages

• Velocity mode

• Fast Min/Max mode to display actual thickness and
minimum and maximum at the same time

• Gain, range, rectication, blank adjustments with live

waveform

• Datalogger 2 GB micro SD card standard expandable
to 32 GB

• Datalogger interfaces with Microsoft Excel™

• Designed for IP67

• Simple one hand operation

• Field upgradeable software options

• Made in the USA

ECHO Series Standard Inclusions

Includes transducer (DKS537, dual 5.0 Mhz, 0.375” with
potted 3 foot cable for corrosion gages; for precision
gages, a probe up to 10 Mhz with a lemo to microdot
cable are included), 2 GB micro SD card, Li-ion battery,

battery charger, transport case, manual with data XL,
USB cable, echo-to-echo to ignore coatings. Our most
advanced models include custom rubber boot.

ECHO Series Software Options

Software options are all eld upgradeable with many

advantages:

• Options are activated via the keypad…no need to plug
into a computer

• Only takes less than one minute

• No shipping cost

• No downtime

• Never worry about buying an obsolete unit

• Less initial outlay of capital

Datalogger/B-scan

Internally store millions of thickness readings with ID

location and send readings to Micorsoft Excel via our

Data XL interface program. Interfaces with Ultrapipe.

Oxide Scale

Simultaneously displays the wall thickness of the boiler

tube thickness as well as the internal oxide scale at

their independent velocities. Knowing the thickness of

the boiler tube can greatly improve the eciency and
extended life of the tube.

Live Waveform

Displays the live A-scan for echo verication and real
time control of range, gain, rectication and blanks.

Corrosion Mode

Uses dual transducers to measure remaining wall
thickness on primarily steel structures subject to
corrosion.

Angle Beam Software

Available on ECHO 8 and ECHO 9, displays trig func­tions of detected echo for angular distance, surface and
depth.

NOTE: When used as a thickness gage it is not meant to be a code

compliant ultrasonic aw detector due to vertical linearity and
display update rate. See ECHO FD for more details.

Precision Mode

Allows for the use of single element transducers along
with up to 2,700 stored application setups with 1
micron resolution (0.0001” or 0.001mm).

Flaw Detection Mode

Code compliant ultrasonic aw detector with fast, 60
Hz. Display update rate, 2 independent gates, AWS and

DAC software standard.

Floating and Tracking gates

For use as a aw detector; this features allows the gate
to oat vertically from -1 to -18 dB for consistent edge

depth thickness readings. Also includes tracking gate to
allow for echo to echo thickness measurements.

Bluetooth

Allows ECHO to export data such as a thickness reading
or le to another device via Bluetooth (Requires exter-

nal software to properly communicate).
