The bench-top FD800 flaw detector series combines stateof-the-art flaw detection with advanced material thickness
capabilities.
Designed for use in the laboratory these gauges are thetool you need for all your flaw detecting needs.

Tool kits include:● TRIG enabling location of flaws in both surface
distance and depth from the transducer.

The Elcometer FD800 Bench Top Flaw Detector isavailable in two models: FD800DL and FD800DL+.

● TCG (time corrected gain) increases gain astime increases, in order to achieve an overalllevel of sensitivity for the same flaw/reflector
at different distances.

The time corrected gain (TCG) feature automaticallycompensates for sound attenuation through a material,
further increasing the performance of the gauge.

● DAC for the creation of DAC curves which areused to inform the operator of the size of any
given flaw at any depth.

Within the grid batching of the FD800DL+ the user has
the capability to enter 'OBSTRUCT' on to the grid for easy
identification of inaccessible locations to measure.

● AWS
functionprovidesautomatic
defectsizing in accordance with AWS D1.1 structural
welding code.

The FD800DL+ has a 6Gb internal memory and an external
SD slot which allows up to 64Gb with full data logging via
RS232 data output to ElcoMaster® data management
software.

● DGS/AVG allows automatica single reference defect.
