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
2
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.

Tools for easy weld inspection
• Color Leg allows easy identification of leg and skip distances for
weld inspection.
- GRID mode dynamically changes bands of display background
colors for each leg.
- A-SCAN mode dynamically changes the color for each leg of
the “live” A-Scan
• Weld Rating Calculation simplifies the rating of weld indications
according to AWS Specification D1.1. (Formula D = A – B – C).
• Trigonometric flaw location function with curvature correction
automatically calculates depth, surface distance, and sound
path to flaw along with the leg of the inspection when using
angle beam probes. All TOF measurements can be displayed in
mm, inches or µs.
• SmartView function along with variable persistence freeze
modes displays the most important information (relevant shot)
for a test.
• Real time (single shot) analog and TTL outputs handle a wide
range of automated systems applications.
• Choose from Four Freeze Modes: ALL, Peak Std, Compare or
Envelope for optimum waveform evaluation and comparison.
• Three Variable Persistence Modes are selectable in Freeze
Envelope to visually assist flaw detection & evaluation for
scanning and moving part inspections.
• Compare frozen reference wave-forms to live A-Scans in
different colors to easily interpret test results.
“Color Leg” indicator
displays the legs of the
angle beam inspection in
different colors
Tools for easy defect sizing
• 40 dB dynamic DAC/TCG Option corrects for distance/
amplitude variations from material loss and beam spread with
ability to edit or insert recorded echoes individually. Up to four
DAC curves can be drawn on the screen at one time to show +/dB curves in addition to the originally recorded DAC curve.
Tools for easy defect sizing Multiple
curve DAC shows recorded DAC curve in
magenta with 4 additional curves based
upon dB Of fset feature for added flaw
sizing assistance. TCG Attenuation and
Transfer Correction features make it very
versatile for use on other materials and
surface conditions.
• DGS (Distance Gain Size) Option displays a curve for a particular
equivalent reflector size. The ERS (Equivalent reflector size)
function automatically calculates the corresponding equivalent
reflector diameter in mm or inches for any echo in the
measurement gate.
Four digital reading boxes at top display
trigonometric calculations for weld
inspection.
(SA soundpath to f law in gate A, PA
projection distance to flaw in gate A,
DA depth to flaw in Gate A & LA leg of
inspection that flaw occurs in gate A)
Square wave pulser with tunable pulse width solves composite testing
applications.
