Krautkramer USN 60/60L

Portable Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors

GE Inspection Technologies has optimized its USN 60 series for use in direct sunlight and operation at extreme
temperatures. These new characteristics make the instruments ideally suited for outdoor use with its
increased long battery operation time.

Depending on the applications challenges, you have the choice between the USN 60 and the USN 60L version.

The USN 60 series: outstanding ultrasonic performance

The combination of the rugged USN durability, 11 hours of
battery operation, fast rotary knob operation, outstanding
ultrasonic performance, and the “square wave pulser”
form a powerful portable ultrasonic inspection tool.

Optimized outdoor use design

The USN 60 / USN60L flaw detectors are especially designed to be used outdoors:

• Extreme temperature use (-20°C to +55°C /-4°F to 130°F)

• Easy to view in direct sunlight

• 11 hours battery operation

Vibrant colors

• Hi-resolution color LCD display produces “Analog Look and Performance” echo
dynamics.

• 4 selectable vibrant display color schemes to match lighting conditions.

• Gates and gate functions are color coded for easy identification and fast
adjustment.

User preferred features

• Simple operation with fast rotary knob adjustments; gain
is always directly accessible with the left-hand rotary
knob and lockable.

• Auto CAL makes calibration fast & easy.

• 15 Hz to 6 kHz (spike mode) PRF and 15 Hz to 2 kHz
(square mode) PRF (pulse repetition frequency).

• 2 independent gates monitor amplitude and soundpath
distance for both flaw detection and thickness
measurement applications.

• 250 KHz to 25 MHz frequency range.

• RF display mode enhances signal evaluation and bond
inspection of dissimilar materials.

• 4 selectable damping settings (50, 75, 150, 500 ohms) for
optimum probe performance.

• 1 mm to 28 m (0.040” to 1100”) range (in steel) covers thin
to lengthy acoustically clean materials.

Wide range of applications

A 6 kHz pulse repetition frequency, real-time analog and
TTL outputs makes the USN 60 flaw detectors series ideal
for a wide range of automated systems testing applications.
The exclusive SmartView feature displays even the shortest
echoes for critical scanning and rotating part inspections.

The quality, durability, dependability and ease of use that you
have come to expect of Krautkramer’s popular USN Series
of instruments remains. From rugged field inspections to

• dB REF key evaluates subsequent echoes gain value and
amplitude against the highest echo in Gate A (reference
echo) when activated.

• IF (Interface) Gate Option for automatic start of the display,
Gate A, Gate B, and / or DAC / TCG for immersion testing
applications.

• VGA Output Option provides an easy way to connect to a
PC monitor or PC projector for viewing by large audiences
or training purposes.

• RF Output Option outputs the raw RF waveform via a
standard Lemo connector for further analysis.

• BEA (Backwall Echo Attenuator) Option allows independent
gain control of the region under Gate B for backwall echo
monitoring.

• 19” Rack Mount Model.

high resolution thin measurements, long acoustically clean
materials, and immersion systems, the USN 60 flaw detector
family extends the range of applications that a portable
instrument can perform. Furthermore the selectable 450V
Square Wave Pulser satisfies a wide range of tough-to­penetrate applications, such as difficult to penetrate metallic
applications and especially non-metals inspection like
composite materials.
