Product Overview - Ultrasonics

Ultrasonic In-Line Systems

"Inline" ultrasonic testing is mainly used for the detection of internal defects in tubes, round and hexagonal bars, gas cylinders, square and flat profiles, and even welded tubes.

KK&S Instruments can provide the perfect ultrasonic testing solution for your industry type. For example, fast change-over times for complex profiles such as rails, high inspection speeds coupled with large coverage, and flexibility of probe positioning.

With decades of experience concerning automated ultrasonic systems for the inspection of e.g. bars, pipes, rails, billets and gas containers, the digital, fully programmable ultrasonic electronics Echograph 1150 can be used for all those applications and for other inspection problems.

As an extension of the Echograph electronics, we offer the data acquisition system (called DAV) and additional electronic components which can be used to process the ultrasonic data according to the customer's needs.

Ultrasonic Bar Testing without Rotation - Photo

For the production of injection nozzles for passenger cars, very high quality requirements of the used bar material are mandatory.

Therefore, an internal standard has been established by a well known supplier for the automotive industry, which has to be fulfilled by each manufacturer of bars. In this standard, ultrasonic testing for smallest flaws is defined. Therefore, testing systems for this material are acceptance-tested by the supplier of inspection nozzles. A high-speed bar testing system with stationary probes and non-rotating bar has been intensively tested and successfully accepted.

The HRP.S is a high-speed testing system with stationary probes and non-rotating bars. The bars are linearly transported through the immersion test chamber. A balanced number of angle and vertical probes guarantees a uniform and complete coverage of the cross section. A very high testing speed (feed-through speed), which may reach 2 m/s under optimum conditions, can be obtained. The probes are mounted on cassettes which can be quickly changed in order to inspect bars from diameters between 10 mm and 90 mm. Furthermore, a slightly modified version, of this high-speed testing system can also be used for tube inspection.

Crack Depth Gauge RMG 4015 - Photo 1, Photo 2

RMG 4015 measures crack depths on workpieces of iron, ferrous and austenitic steels and can also be used for cracks in copper, brass, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.

Incorrect handling or faulty measurements caused by wrong attachment or imperfect contacts therefore are out of question.

Via the RS232 interface, test reports can be printed on small-sized printer (available as accessory) or the instrument can communicate with a PC. For this purpose, the PC program Status Windows is available, which not only acquires the measured values, but also offers data administration and graphical display. Furthermore, test reports or other documentations can be created.

When production or transportation machines are to be inspected, a crack growth can be watched with the RMG to determine the most economic repair moment.

Ultrasonic Testing Devices

Brand-new is the ultrasonic probe catalogue , which presents all actual probe types in a new and clear manner.
The catalogue does not only contain the standard probes, but also all special probes together with all important data and prices. Of course, the steadily growing family of composite probes is also presented.These probes are distinguished by increased sensitivity and less noise echoes compared with the standard probes.
Some of these very efficient probes have already substituted the conventional types, and this for the same price. In the well-known manner, extra information is given concerning applications, the different probe types, and their characteristic data in a compact form.
Please Contact Us for the new Catalogue and get an overview about the comprehensive probe variety.

• The new wall thickness gauge measures the thicknesses of steel, metal or epoxy parts comfortably and reliably.
• The large liquid crystal display with a digit height of 10.2 mm can be illuminated by button-stroke and guarantees at any time secure readout of measured values.
• With the built-in data logger up to 3600 readings can be stored in up to 99 series of readings and therefore measurements can also be documented reliably on site.
• For read-out of stored data into a PC and their processing, a convenient and easy-to-use Windows© programme is available. See image below of Echostat.

Echostat supports the Ultrasonic wall thickness gauge Echometer 1074 Data in data processing, data storage and general PC connection.

You can use Echostat to acquire, store, display and print meas-ured values, to evaluate measuring batches statistically and output results as test report to a PC printer.

Echostat supports Windows © DDE links. This makes it possible to process the readings acquired via Echostat by means of other Windows © programmes, which are also capable of DDE support (e.g. Microsoft Word © or Excel © ).
