Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) ESPA-1000

ESPA-1000 is a powerful ultrasonic flaw detector with conventional ultrasound, FMC, TFM and PA. This portable phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) unit enables to simultaneously capture for both TFM and PA, and display on the same screen. The unique software processing technology brings the best efficiency and ability for inspectors. Data is easy to obtain for this phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) unit at your fingertips with the perfect data processing and reporting functions, especially for TFM and PA. Display methods of A, B, C, D, S, and 3D imaging provides a visual interface closer to the material being inspected.
