Mobile ultrasonic flaw detector
dESIGNEd with ergonomic and strictly
functional characteristics in mind, the
new Sonoscreen ST 10 ultrasonic flaw
detector from Sonotec GmbH boasts a
user-friendly menu navigation system.
This improves testing reliability and
saves valuable testing time.
Weld seam testing accounts for 70
per cent of all professional ultrasonic
inspections in Germany. The standard
ultrasonic detectors normally used for this
purpose require complicated and time-
consuming calibration. Incorrect settings
can have dramatic consequences. “We
therefore set out to develop an easy-to-
operate device with an operating concept
that speeds up the testing process and
eliminates potential errors from the
outset,” explained Hans-Joachim Münch,
managing director of Sonotec.
The result is the Sonoscreen ST
10 universal ultrasonic flaw detector,
with an innovative menu structure, a
large screen and an inclusive package
with all evaluation methods. The
device is supplied ready-to-use for all
applications. By turning and pressing the
left handwheel, the user scrolls through
the menu and operates the Sonoscreen
ST 10 intuitively. The simplified menu
navigation provides all the parameters to
be adapted in a logical succession and
also ensures that all relevant parameters
are set at the start of the test. A diagram
of the probe settings also allows entries
to be checked quickly. All menu items are
displayed in full text and the entire menu
tree is displayed with sub-items. If the
tester wishes to adjust the gain setting
of the signal during the measurement,
they can do so by simply turning the right
handwheel. Time-consuming clicking
through the menu or interrupting the
test is not required. The gain setting is
displayed in the top right-hand corner of
the screen.
Despite its compact size, the
Sonoscreen ST 10 has a large,
high-resolution 16:9 graphic display.
All values and measurements are
displayed as large as possible. This
enables the user to see details clearly
and view all relevant instrument settings
at a glance. Which type and how many
measurement readings the device
should display can be adapted to each
application’s specific needs.
Unlike some other ultrasonic testing
devices currently available on the mar-
ket, the Sonoscreen ST 10 can safely be
used outside in direct sunlight. Even rain
cannot harm the robust device.
