Sitescan 250 Overview

Advanced Defect Sizing Tools as Standard

Weld and pipe inspection are major applications for the Sitescan series and they are equipped with the latest software tools for defect sizing. The use of integrated sizing software reduces analysis time and speeds inspection. Multiple standard sizing techniques are essential for service companies working to different customer standards, especially as service work becomes more international and operators are required to work to different codes.

High Visibility Display

For any flaw detector the display is a crucial element. The Sitescan has a colour transflective TFT display as standard, providing high visibility at any light level. The choice of colours for menus and waveform display enhance clarity, with the LCD simulation mode giving direct sunlight readability. The TFT does not suffer the typical black out problems or temperature limitations of LCD giving full weather capability. The new Full Screen mode maximizes the A-scan area to improve readability further whilst testing and its fast response and peak capture functionality ensure any indication is clearly displayed, even if it only appears for one cycle of the PRF.

High Performance with Total Control

The Sitescan delivers high performance and advanced features, yet our engineer's experience in user interface design has ensured it is easy and quick to use. Enhanced menu structures and menu navigation key, provides easy access to functions.

Robust and Reliable

Robust design and proven reliability is an important aspect of flaw detector ownership. Down time is expensive and should be minimized to ensure maximum productivity. The Sitescan series is constructed to high standards using Xenoy plastics and sealed to IP67, giving excellent water resistance so it can withstand the tough environments in which operators work. The Sitescan comes with 2 years warranty, extendable to 5 years with Sonacover, supported by a worldwide service network.

SDMS (Optional Sonatest Data Management Software)

This Windows based data management tool allows the user to interface a Sonatest digital flaw detector with a PC. The software uploads and downloads panel settings and A-Scans, which can also be copied and pasted into Word for customised reporting. Thickness readings can be transferred directly into Excel with the ability to produce charts for B & C-Scans, colour 3D mapping etc.
