UIU "SKARUCH"

General purpose and description

Compact ultrasonic measuring device of the "Scanner" series - "SCARUCH" (UIU "SKARUCH") is intended for
operational detection of flaws and their definition in welded joints and base materials of pipelines, containers, and
metal constructions with the wall thickness of 4 60 mm and thickness measurement of fabricated parts with thickness
up to 100 mm.
This device is used for manual and mechanized ultrasonic quality testing of welded joints and base metals with the
longitudinal scanning rate of 0.5 -1.0 m/min along the weld or the base metal section.
The UIU "SKARUCH" operates in the mode of Automatic Logging and Interpretation of Readings (AL and IR) by
transducers system when hand scanned, as well as in the mode of the General Purpose Hand Flaw Detector (thickness
indicator).
Tests can be performed under shop and under assembly conditions.
This device underwent official tests and there are positive opinions of enterprises in various branches.
The UIU "SKARUCH" is certified by the State committee for standardization of the RF, it is registered in the state
register of measurement devices (? 15723-96) and is allowed to application in the Russian Federation.
The "SKARUCH" usage procedure is approved by GOSGORTECHNADZOR of the RF and is permitted for the application
in enterprises.

Advantages of UST unit SKARUCH

1.

UST accuracy due to 16 SKARUCH circuits and scanning techniques on each millimeter under control, which allows to:
o

identify a flaw (plane, volumetric, plane-volumetric);

measure actual fl aw dimensions (length and height);

estimate equivalent fl aw dimensions;

control automatically acouctic contact at each millimeter scanned.

High efficiency. Scanning speed up to 1 m/min Memory capacity is up to 1000 UST reports.

Setup is not required as it is automatically implemented when inputting parameters of the tested object.

Electronic acoustic path self-control.

UST results are automatically decoded.

Printing of a joint test report.

Extra skills of operators are not required.

Easy operation. Compact size, light weight, independent power supply.

Various applicaitons:

UST of welded joint (butt, tee, overlap welding).

UST of base material, icluding detection of unaceptable corrosion and lamination.

manual flaw detector mode

manual thickness gauge mode

The equipment has passed governmental tests and has been approved by different industrial enterprises. USTU SKARUCH has been certifi ed by Gosstandart of
the Russian Federation and included into a state register of testing equipment ( 15723-02) and permitted for application at the territory of the Russian
Federation.
The operation technique of USTU SKARUCH has been approved by Gosgortechnadzor of the Russian Federation and permitted for application for objects under
control.
