Krautkramer USM 36: a proven reliable and robust
ultrasonic flaw detector performer
The Krautkramer USM 36 is the latest development in GE’s USM range of
st
flaw detectors. It combines the 21
reliable and robust hardware of GE’s well-established Krautkramer
portable flaw detection instruments. It incorporates a range of innovative

century operating platform with the
Largest Viewable A-Scan
Display in its Class
• An important improvement in the Krautkramer USM 36 is
its large 7 inch screen, with an 800x480 pixel resolution. The
entire area is available to display crispy A-scans, making
it the best in its class. Signals can be easily viewed and
accurately interpreted, even in bright sunlight, with tired
eyes at the end of a long working day.

Simple and Efficient Operation
• The Krautkramer USM 36 uses the familiar rotary knobs of
previous models but the function keys have now been minimized
into a simple, intuitive 6-key keyboard, allowing simple and
efficient operation;
• Inspection set-up is also easy. Not only for technicians who have
used USM Go or USM Go+ for previous inspections, as set-up data
is transferable directly from these instruments, which share the
same user interface. This
commonality of interface
also ensures a rapid
learning curve for
technicians familiar with
the USM Go instruments.

Flexible Data Reporting
and Storage
• As well as easy-to-interpret the
crispy A-scans, data reporting on
the Krautkramer USM 36
can also include screen
shots and A-scan videos,
where A-scans can be
recorded for subsequent
analysis or to provide
proof of inspection. All
data is stored on a
removable SD-card and
reports can be in jpeg or
BMP format.
