ULTRASONIC FLAW DETECTOR

SONOSCREEN ST10
FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING

MADE IN GERMANY
SONOSCREEN ST10

Developed with the help of experienced material testing full-text menu labels and by the complete overview of all
experts, the compact ultrasonic flaw detector unites high- probe settings. This makes the SONOSCREEN ST10 an ideal
spec performance with user-orientation. A clearly-struc- tool for all standard ultrasound ispections, from weld seam
tured menu quickly guides the tester through all of the steps testing, wall thickness measurement and sheet metal testing
required for test set-up. Efficiency is also boosted by the to the detection of invisible cracks, inclusions, cavities and

INTUITIVE OPERATION

The SONOSCREEN ST10 offers a clearly structured menu

system optimized to support the testing process plus intuiti-
ve device operation. This helps to increase testing reliability
and to save valuable testing time. By turning and
pressing the rotary knobs, you can browse quickly
through the menu. The complete menu tree is displayed in
full text and the selected menu path is highlighted in red.

The SONOSCREEN ST10 guides you step-by-step through

the pre-test set-up. All parameters needing configuration are
arranged logically one after the other. This ensures that
all relevant parameters are set before testing begins.
All probe settings at a glance
Useful database also helps to shorten the preparation time:
the database already contains all SONOSCAN probes. Other
probes are easy to add. The provided probe settings overview rapid distance calibration. Device setup, probe and material
enables quick verification of the entered data. databases can be stored on a USB flash drive and transferred
Selected calibration blocks are also stored to enable to other SONOSCREEN units.
