Olympus Highly Portable Ultrasonic Flaw Detector EPOCH 6LT for In-service Pipeline Inspection

EPOCH 6LT flaw detector for high portability applications

High portability for on-the-go use — just toss it in your bag and hit the road!

Non-destructive testing personnel involved in highly portable inspections require a device that is extremely lightweight yet powerful. The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is compact in design, with an ergonomic body shape, and includes all the core features of the popular EPOCH 650 flaw detector. The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector offers a comfortable grip and ease of use, with its small size, making it easy to fit into a bag with other equipment. The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is an ideal instrument for highly portable inspection applications, helping technicians complete work quickly and efficiently in a comfortable operating state.

Ultra-portable design

• The instrument weighs only 890 grams, with its weight distribution determined by the grip direction, significantly reducing wrist fatigue during one-handed operation.

• The flying shuttle knob and simple button design allow operators to easily control the instrument even with gloves on.

• A bright and clear screen provides excellent readability in most lighting conditions.

• The design meets IP65/67 rating standards and has passed the drop test.

• The user interface has been optimized for one-handed operation. Use the context menu to adjust parameters in full-screen A scan mode; utilize the quick call feature to conveniently load stored settings and quickly switch the application.

Upon completion of the inspection, the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector offers convenient data management. Reports and data files in various formats can be exported from the instrument to the Olympus Scientific Cloud via a removable USB storage device or optional wireless local area network. The data management features of the instrument include:

• Export calibration, incremental, and 2D format data files
  

• Export thickness measurement data in .CSV format

• Wirelessly transmit and archive detection data

• Access test data quickly via the Olympus Scientific Cloud in a remote manner.

In-service PipelineApplication for inspection

The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is lightweight and ergonomically designed, making it an ideal instrument for inspecting in-service pipelines. It's equipped with defect quantification software, such as the dynamic DAC/TCG and DGS/AVG functions for detecting welds and quantifying cracks, as well as optional corrosion software that accurately and effectively completes pipeline corrosion inspections.

Functional for in-service pipeline inspection

The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector offers an enhanced corrosion software option with the following features:

• Automatically identify probes through central pins and configure the instrument
  

• Dynamically switch between defect scan mode and high-precision point measurement mode

• Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

• High-precision measurement algorithm for thickness gauges

• Automatic Zero Function (Zero Compensation)

• Enhanced grid view for improved data visibility

The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector features the same high dynamic range pulse generator/receiver functionality as the EPOCH 650 flaw detector, with the following performance:

• PerfectSquare Adjustable Square Wave Pulse Generator
  

• Digital High Dynamic Range Receiver

• 8 Digital Filters Set at 100%

• Pulse generator voltage range: 100 V to 400 V

• 5 custom digital measurements

Standard Defect Quantification Software

• Dynamic DAC/TCG: Compares signal amplitude with DAC curve or reference echo amplitude; DAC version includes standard and custom DAC warning curves, as well as 20%-80% view

• DGS/AVG: Compare the signal amplitude with the DGS/AVG graph, which illustrates the relationship between parameters such as echo height, defect size, and distance to the probe.
