USM Go+
Small but mighty.
All you expect from
an ultrasonic aw
detector, packed in
a handheld.
Introducing the new USM Go+ that takes eld inspection
NDT to the next level. Light, handy and controlled by
an intuitive arrow-keypad, it has the latest industrial
electronics under the hood and oers excellent
ultrasonic performance which allows for reliable
detection of defects located just below the surface of
the test piece.
USM Go+ When design and technology shake hands
Best of both worlds
The USM Go+ ultrasonic aw detector oers you
the performance and features of a tabletop
ultrasonic detector in a small, ultra-portable
handheld instrument weighing less than 2 pounds
(907 grams) for maximum portability in the eld.
Its ergonomic design, useful features and big
performance are the result of carefully listening to
the experience of the people in the eld who,
through their everyday practice, know best what it
takes to do a good job.
What a eld NDT operator needs is:
• An instrument you can use with one hand
The USM Go+ is the ideal device for portable ultrasonic testing. It
comfortably ts in the palm of your hand or pocket of coveralls for
ease of use and transport. It’s the perfect tool for operation in
conned spaces, areas with dicult access or other dicult
environments.
Actually, you operate it with one hand, thanks to the arrow-keypad,
which allows for intuitive navigation and fast and precise
adjustments. That comes in handy, when you need your other hand
to adjust the probe or just hold on to a ladder. Are you left-handed?
No problem, use the ‘ip’ function to adapt the instrument to your
hand.
• A robust, heavy duty device
Its molded rubber casing makes the USM Go+ the sturdy instrument
you need in the sometimes harsh conditions ‘in the eld’. It is dust
and waterproof to IP67 and has been tested according to
military standards.
• The biggest and brightest screen in its class
The 108mm x 64,8 mm screen (zoomed mode) with best in class
800 x 480 pixel resolution oers optimum echo dynamics and
separation. Moreover, it is exceptionally bright so you can easily
read the image even in full sunlight. On the other hand, when
working in the dark, you can reduce the brightness to reduce eye
fatigue and conserve battery life. An integrated stand allows you
to optimize the viewing angle, when the instrument is desk or
bench mounted.
• Outstanding UT performance
Equipped with state-of-the art technology, the USM Go+ takes
UT performance in handheld instruments a step further. The
excellent near surface resolution enables you to detect aws
located just under the surface of the test piece with a high degree
of reliability.
A wide Pulse Repetition Frequency range allows you to use the
USM Go+ at low PRF to inspect forged parts without any “ghost”
echoes and to inspect welds at high PRF when fast scanning speed
is required.
• A tool that boosts your productivity
Ultra-portable, easy-to-handle, intuitive operation, high
performance - the USM Go+ is your plug & play tool that will give
your productivity a boost the moment you start using it.

Other key features & benets
A wide range of applications
• A-Scan video recording up to 8 minutes allows live
reporting and playback of an entire inspection sequence
for review by more qualied personnel (e.g. Level III)
• Truly ambidextrous instrument with ip function of the
display and functionality of the rocker switches.
• AUTOANG (Auto Angle) feature calculates the refracted
angle of an angle beam wedge and utilizes it for
Trigonometic aw location projections
• A standard USB connection allows for data to be
downloaded from the aw detector for further analysis or
storage.
• The instrument’s 2 GB memory can be easily exchanged
by SD cards up to 16 GB.
• Reports are produced in jpeg or bmp format so there is no
need for special reading software.
• Backwall Echo Attenuator (BEA) helps to nd very small
defects, improving detectability.
• Automatic Gate Threshold for the 2 gates ensuring
accurate measurements made under the same
conditions.
The USM Go+ has been designed to provide aw detection
capability in inspection situations throughout the industrial
and process spectrum, from aerospace to power generation
and from the automotive sector to the oil and gas industry.
