Prisma UT offers damping control to either optimise nearsurface resolution or energy transmission. The ability tocapturescreensisstandardcombinedwithautomaticreportingcapabilitywhichenables reports tobe formattedwith relativebespoke customer information such as logos etc. The mostpopularflawsizingtechniquessuchasDAC,AVG/DGS,TGCandAWSareallon-board.

Thanks to the on-board B and C-Scan imaging capabilities,thePrismaUTenablesfield technicians toconductdedicatedcorrosion and composite inspections, together withcomprehensiveon-sitethicknessprofiling.

Prisma TOFDUltrasonic Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) has gained inpopularity over the last decade and via the Prisma TOFD,Sonatest brings to themarket a truly portable and powerfulTOFDunit.

Knowing that TOFD inspection can be carried out on wallthickness as thin as 6mm (1/4”), the Prisma offers the bestdigitizingfrequencyofitscategorygoingupto200MHz.Simplyput thismeans thathigh frequency transducerscanbeused,ensuringthemostaccurateflawheightsizingpossible.
