    PCE Instruments USC 20 Benchtop Ultrasonic Defectoscope 0.5 to 20 MHz

    # USC 20

    • Measurement range: 0.5 to 9999 mm (steel; longitudinal wave)
    • Operating frequency range: 0.5 to 20 MHz
    • Sound velocity: 1000 to 15000 m/s (continuously adjustable)
    • AVG and DAC evaluation methods, display and probes delay, damping and reinforcing functions, export and reporting functions
    • PCE-USC 20 is a portable or benchtop ultrasonic defectoscope or ultrasonic thickness gauge with a 5.7″ TFT color LCD screen.
    • This ultrasound-based defectoscope uses one or two contact transducers (four different probes included; 90 °, 70 °, 60 °, 45 °) to measure the material or wall thickness, detect flaws or defects in welds, and monitor the effects of corrosion on pipes and tanks.
    • PCE-USC 20 is an ultrasonic defectoscope used for non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection in a wide variety of applications in industries such as chemical, oil and gas, metallurgical, manufacturing, quality control, metalworking, welding, machining, engineering, product research and development, construction, transportation, and aerospace.
    • Measurement range: 0.5 … 9999 mm (steel; longitudinal wave)
    • Operating frequency range: 0.5 … 20 MHz
    • Sound velocity: 1000 … 15000 m/s (continuously adjustable)
    • AVG and DAC evaluation methods, display and probes delay, damping and reinforcing functions, export and reporting functions
    • Saves up to 500 records to memory
    • Lightweight design for ease of portability
    • Complies with EN12668-1
