Sonatest Sitescan 500S

The Sitescan 500s offers the end user an entry level broad band flaw detector with full VGA display, sync and proportional outputs and a 50nS (Spike) 200V Pulser.

Typical applications are Weld Fabrication, Corrosion Detection, Forgings & Castings and general UT inspection.

Features

Rugged design: Engineered with automotive-grade, impact-resistant materials and water-resistant casing, ensuring robustness and field reliability

Advanced imaging and sizing capabilities: Supports a comprehensive set of industry-standard software options—like DAC, TCG, BEA, AWS, AVG/DGS, and API—offering flexibility across inspection standards (EN, ASME, AWS, API, etc.)

Data management: Can interface via USB as a memory device for file transfer; complimentary UT-Lity Lite software enables managing scans, thickness logs, calibrations, and generating reports; UT-Lity Pro offers enhanced inspection planning and data integration capabilities
