New NDT Systems Curlin Air - Coupled Ultrasonic Flaw Detector - Sale !!

The portable Curlin Air utilizes air-coupled ultrasonics and requires no surface preparation and no direct contact with test object. It performs sensitive inspections to detect voids, impact damage, and disbonds in a wide variety of water-incompatible materials. Originally used primarily for aerospace composites, the Curlin Air is referenced specifically by major aerospace manufacturers in their published inspection procedures. It has since evolved to evaluate a diverse range of materials including propellants and wood and foam panels.

Contactless Air-Coupled Ultrasonic Flaw Detector
The portable Curlin Air utilizes air-coupled ultrasonics and requires no surface preparation and no direct contact with test object. It performs sensitive inspections to detect voids, impact damage, and disbonds in a wide variety of water-incompatible materials. Originally used primarily for aerospace composites, the Curlin Air is referenced specifically by major aerospace manufacturers in their published inspection procedures. It has since evolved to evaluate a diverse range of materials including propellants and wood and foam panels.

Air-coupled ultrasonic techniques are used when testing sensitive materials which are at risk of contamination during the testing processes or in situations when the cost of removing special coatings from the material to be tested is impractical. Wetting agents or powders typically used in conventional ultrasonic testing can lead to degradation of sensitive components.

Features:

Air coupled UT
Remarkable penetrating power
Non-contact, Through transmission, no surface preparation
A-trace display
Alarms: adjustable trigger level, audible and visual
Adjustable range, delay and gain
Programmable user setups
Unique Applications:

Carbon-fiber sandwich with honeycomb core:
Aerospace application for control surfaces, thrust reversers, cargo-door inspecting for skin-core disbonds or damaged core.

Carbon-Carbon:
Space application used for heat shields-inspecting for delaminations, disbonds in highly porous material.

Metal sandwich with foam core:
A typical construction used for fire doors and walls. Inspecting for voids in the foam core.

Solid Foam:
Inspecting for cracks or voids internally.

Drywall:
Used extensively in the construction industry

Multiple core sandwich:
Marine composites application with multiple core sheets and glue lines between- inspecting for skin to core and core to core disbonds.
