Ultrasonic flaw detector Curlin Air

for aeronauticsfor the aerospace industry

The portable Curlin Air utilizes air-coupled ultrasonics and requires no surface preparation and no direct contact with the 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 that 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 Standard package includes instrument, Pelican style shipping case, manual, batteries and AC charger Remarkable penetrating power Through transmission, non-contact A-trace display Alarm: adjustable trigger level, audible and visual Adjustable range, delay and gain Physical / Case - Weight - 6.3lb (2.9kg) Dimensions (W x H x D) - 10.20in. x 5.75in. x 4.50in.
