Waygate Technologies USN 60 Specifications

Krautkramer
USN 60/60L

Portable Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors

BHGE 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

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.

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.

• 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.

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 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-to-penetrate applications, such as difficult
to penetrate metallic applications and especially non-metals
inspection like composite materials.
