KRAUTKRÄMERUSM Go+

Small but mighty.
All you expect froman ultrasonic flaw
detector, packed ina handheld.

Introducing the new USM Go+ that takes field inspection NDTto the next level. Light, handy and controlled by an intuitivearrow-keypad, it has the latest industrial electronics under
the hood and offers excellent ultrasonic performance whichallows for reliable detection of defects located just below
the surface of the test piece.

UMS Go+
When design and technology
shake hands

Best of both worlds

What a field NDT operator needs is:

The USM Go+ ultrasonic flaw detector offers you
the performance and features of a tabletop
ultrasonic detector in a small, ultra-portablehandheld instrument weighing less than 2 pounds(907 grams) for maximum portability in the field.
Its ergonomic design, useful features and big
performance are the result of carefully listening
to the experience of the people in the field who,
through their everyday practice, know best what
it takes to do a good job.

An instrument you can use with one hand

The USM Go+ is the ideal device for portable ultrasonic
testing. It comfortably fits in the palm of your hand or
pocket of coveralls for ease of use and transport. It’s theperfect tool for operation in confined spaces, areas withdifficult access or other difficult environments.
Actually, you operate it with one hand, thanks to the arrowkeypad, which allows for intuitive navigation and fast andprecise adjustments. That comes in handy, when you need
your other hand to adjust the probe or just hold on to aladder. Are you left-handed? No problem, use the ‘flip’
function to adapt the instrument to your hand.

A robust, heavy duty device

Its molded rubber casing makes the USM Go+ the sturdy
instrument you need in the sometimes harsh conditions‘in the field’. It is dust and waterproof to IP67 and has beentested according to military standards.

The biggest and brightest screen in its class

The 108mm x 64,8 mm screen (zoomed mode) with bestin class 800 x 480 pixel resolution offers optimum echo
dynamics and separation. Moreover, it is exceptionally brightso you can easily read the image even in full sunlight. On
the other hand, when working in the dark, you can reducethe brightness to reduce eye fatigue and conserve batterylife. An integrated stand allows you to optimize the viewing
angle, when the instrument is desk or bench mounted.

Outstanding UT performance

Equipped with state-of-the art technology, the USM Go+
takes UT performance in handheld instruments a step further.
The excellent near surface resolution enables you to detectflaws located just under the surface of the test piece with ahigh degree of reliability.
A wide Pulse Repetition Frequency range allows you to use
the USM Go+ at low PRF to inspect forged parts without any“ghost” echoes and to inspect welds at high PRF when fastscanning speed is required.

A tool that boosts your productivity

Ultra-portable, easy-to-handle, intuitive operation, highperformance - the USM Go+ is your plug & play tool that will
give your productivity a boost the moment you start using it.

A wide range of applications

Other key features & benefits

The USM Go+ has been designed to provide flaw
detection capability in inspection situations throughout the industrial and process spectrum, from aerospace to power generation and from the automotive
sector to the oil and gas industry.

• A-Scan video recording up to 8 minutes allows live
reporting and playback of an entire inspection sequence
for review by more qualified personnel (e.g. Level III)

Weld Inspection:• Trigonometric projections with curvature correction.
• AWS D1.1 sizing• DAC/TCG• DGS• Color Leg• AUTOANG (Auto Angle) feature calculates the refracted
angle of an angle beam wedge and utilizes it for
Trigonometic flaw location projections

Inspection of Forgings and Castings:• Manual PRF adjustment• Phantom echo indicator• DGS• Backwall Echo Attenuator (BEA)
Inspection of rails:• High PRF (up to 2000 Hz)• Lightweight 850g (1.87 lb.)
• Small size and ergonomics
Inspection of Composites:• RF Display• 2 gates with B-start triggered with echo in gate A• TCG correction with high slope 120 dB/ µs• Reflector depth indicated in layer
For more demanding applications:• Narrow band filters• Low noise digital amplifier• Square wave pulser• Truly ambidextrous instrument with flip function of thedisplay and functionality of the rocker switches.

• A standard USB connection allows for data to be
downloaded from the flaw detector for further analysis
or storage.
• The instrument’s 2 GB memory can be easily
exchanged by SD cards up to 16 GB.
• Reports are produced in jpeg or bmp format so there
is no need for special reading software.
• Backwall Echo Attenuator (BEA) helps to find verysmall defects, improving detectability.
• Automatic Gate Threshold for the 2 gates ensuring
accurate measurements made under the sameconditions.
