Olympus NDT, USA, has launched a new
handheld digital ultrasonic flaw detector,
branded the Epoch LTC. The company is a
provider of non-destructive testing solutions
featuring innovative ultrasonic testing
(UT), eddy current (ET), and related non-
destructive testing technologies.
The handheld Epoch LTC weighs only
2.12lb (0.96kg), and is the smallest in
the Epoch range of flaw detectors. The
rugged Epoch LTC is built for use in a wide
range of weather conditions and difficult
inspection environments. Its sealed case
meets IP67 requirements to withstand the
rigours of very wet or dusty environments,
while the multi-colour transflective
LCD with full VGA resolution provides
readability from bright sunlight to complete
darkness. The unit also features a simple
keypad that allows full control from the
left or right hand, for direct access to all
important functions.
The detector provides powerful standard
measurement features and specialised
0.001" (0.01mm) measurement resolution,
and one gate with programmable alarm.
Dynamic DAC/TVG software is standard
with the Epoch LTC, and application-
specific software options include DGS/AVG
flaw sizing, manual PRF control, extended
range, tunable square wave pulser, curved
surface correction, and AWS D1.1 / D1.5.
The Epoch LTC provides internal storage
of inspection data of 50,000 IDs with
waveform and measurement parameters,
while a Mini SD card slot provides
additional storage. Its on-board on-the-go
USB port facilitates fast transfer of data.
The VGA output allows viewing of the
waveform display on remote computer or
projector screens.
The Epoch LTC is available in stock for
immediate delivery. Standard inclusions
are AC adaptor, transport case, hand strap,
lithium ion rechargeable battery, and a one-
year warranty.
