Dakota Ultrasonics supply a wide variety of Ultrasonic Industrial ultrasonic testing equipment.

The PR - 8V- Sonic Tester

The PR - 8V includes these features:

  • The time-based B-Scan feature of the PR-8V displays a cross section of the opposite surface, allowing engine builders the ability to see the contour of the back surface in cylinders while scanning.
  • Use the Multi-Mode (Echo-Echo mode) feature to measure chassis tubing with or without paint and coatings. Built-in automatic gain control.
  • Selectable low, medium, and high gain settings offer the inspector the additional punch power for materials
    that are hard to penetrate.
  • The variety of calibration options is just one more example of PR-8V's versatility.
  • Store up to 64 custom setups. Factory setups available for common applications.
  • The internal Data Logger of the PR-8V has been customized for both the engine builder and the chassis inspector. Selectable cylinder mapping or general alpha numeric file storage will satisfy your reporting needs.
  • Built-in transducer types offer increased linearity between transducers.
  • The Fast Scan feature provides a better representation during the scanning process, by making 32 measurements per second. Remove the transducer from the test material and display the thinnest measurement found.
  • Use the visual and audible alarm to set Hi and Lo limits to signal the inspector when the measurements are out of tolerance.
  • The PR-8V also comes complete with our Windows® PC software for transferring data to- and from a PC, and viewing B-Scans, Cylinder Maps, and general measurements.
  • 2 year limited warranty.
