Detailed Overview

What if you could customise your UT device’s settings to fit your personal workflow and the demands of others? An instrument that can be accessed with less than two clicks and has all the necessary parameters pre-set? You can now. Presenting Sonatest’s WAVE interactive flaw detector. It incorporates the most recent technology to revolutionise the industry for ultrasonic non-destructive testing equipment. Its unique and integrated interactive scan plan, which includes ray-tracing capabilities, simulation tools, and CAD import capacity, not only makes it innovative, but it also optimises daily workflow. You may access it from anywhere in the field thanks to its wifi connectivity, which also facilitates data transfer, application installation, and software version and calibration date management.

Touchscreen-driven simplicity and innovative user interface in a rugged flaw detector.

• This conventional ultrasonic flaw detector features a fully interactive, glove-friendly touchscreen interface, dramatically simplifying setup and operation while maintaining high performance.
• It is designed to be highly intuitive for all levels of NDT technicians, reducing training time and minimizing user errors.
• The kit typically includes the flaw detector unit, a battery pack, charger, and a quick-start guide, all in a durable transport case.
• Advanced connectivity options facilitate quick data sharing and remote support.

Top Features & Benefits

Interactive Scan plan

Use the WAVE Interactive Scan Plan to reduce false calls.
To make inspections on the inspected part easier, the WAVE Interactive Scan Plan was created. Complex geometries like curved surfaces and T-joints can be replicated by the scan plan. This special function, when combined with a real-time Raytracer, makes it easier to distinguish between a geometrical signal and an actual problem, preventing needless repair.

Bring in Custom Parts

A customised part can be imported into the interactive scan plan using WAVE. The user can see how sound travels through intricate geometries thanks to this function. When the restrictions associated with predefined parts are eliminated, all the advantages of the Interactive Scan Plan are still there.

Concept of Application
By combining performance and conformance, the WAVE application idea enables the operator to tailor the user interface to their particular process.

UTouch Technology
Th Wave can function similarly to a mobile phone thanks to UTouch Technology, combined with durable parts and a clever algorithm that distinguishes between couplant and finger.

Companion Software for WAVE
An environment for creating and uploading certain preconfigured application settings to the WAVE platform is provided by the WAVE Companion software. After being built, the new app settings are put on the device via a wireless or wired network (USB-C or Ethernet). All functions and functionalities are accessible through the default app, which lets the user change every configuration.

Primary Uses & Functions

A modern UT instrument with a user-friendly interface for general ultrasonic flaw detection and weld inspection. It functions as a primary tool for detecting, locating, and sizing internal flaws and accurately measuring material thickness.

Real-World Applications

• General Ultrasonic Flaw Detection (NDT) and sizing using all conventional sizing techniques (e.g., DAC, TCG).
• Inspection of welds, forgings, and castings.
• Basic UT inspection with simple operation, suitable for thickness gauging and corrosion mapping tasks.
• In-service inspection of oil and gas assets.
