New instruments with state-of-the-art displays based
on the popular, field proven USN Series!
Now, there are ultrasonic flaw
detectors with all the features
you need for inspection in bright
sunlight as well as in dark or
poorly lighted conditions.
Krautkramer’s new USN-L Series
por table ultrasonic flaw detectors
can be read easily in bright,
direct sunlight. New “trans-
reflective” technology actually
uses sunlight to make the display
more visible outdoors.
The new USN-L instruments have
a fast 60 Hz update rate,LCD
display and a fine screen
resolution of 480 x 320 pixels .
Backlighting is used for excellent
visibility indoors or in dark
conditions. The L Series
instruments include the USN 50L
and the USN 52L providing a
choice of ultrasonic features to
address individual applications.
The R Series features our high
resolution EL display and
includes the USN 50R and the
USN 52R instruments. They offer
incredibly fine screen resolution
for picking up the smallest
details in critical echoes. Display
resolution is nearly as sharp as
analog displays.
All are lightweight, ver y por table
flaw detectors weighing only 6
pounds (2.7 kg) with batteries
and easily managed size of 9.8"

Handle tough applications in any environment...
because tests are required everywhere!
Inspection oriented and easy
to use
• 40 dB dynamic DAC/TCG
enables correction for
distance/amplitude var-
iations due to material loss
and beam spread Cur ve
displayed on A-Scan.
(USN 52L/R)
• RF display mode improves
signal evaluation and bond
inspection of dissimilar ma-
terials and assists crack tip
detection and sizing.
(USN 52L/R)
• Selectable rep rate
minimizes wraparound.
• Selectable damping control
provides transducer
matching for broader range
of applications.
• Angle beam trigonometric
functions display sound
path, projection, and depth
measurements to flaw.
• Magnification window
displays measurement
value in large,easy to read
digits.
• Gate monitors amplitude
and soundpath distance for
both flaw and thickness
applications.
• Multi-echo or inter face-to-
first thickness measure-
ment mode, with selectable
flank or peak detection.
• A-Scan freeze, freeze peak,
and zoom functions.
• Lock key prevents ac-
cidental change of settings.
Documentation and recording
• On-board thickness data
logger stores a total of
2,500 readings in up to 99
configurable files.
• RS-232 bidirectional
interface for transferring
data, A-scan displays, and
repor ts to a printer, com-
• Stores instrument control
datasets with A-Scans in
memor y for quick and
repeatable calibration.
• Amplitude and time of flight
analog output enables
recording via strip char t or
digitizing device. (USN 52L/R)
• Direct printing of inspection
repor ts.
Lightweight, advanced and
reliable
• 6 pounds (2.7 kg) total
weight with batteries.
• Sealed case and membrane
keypad are splashproof,
rugged and easy to clean
• Operates on AC or 6 “D” size
alkaline or NiCad batteries in
a detachable housing
