Introduction
The Raptor is a high-speed flaw detector, a high-resolution thickness
gauge and a versatile and unique imaging system – all in one handheld
instrument. B- and C-scan imaging has never been this easy to
generate, and helps reducing inspection time along with easy result
interpretation.
Applications
High-end ultrasonic flaw detection
C-Scan imaging capabilities
Metals, plastics, composites, glass, rubber
Corrosion mapping from tubes to pressure vessels
Storage tanks and boilers glass inspection
Weld inspection per AWS D1.1/1.5 code
Investment castings turbine blade inspection
