The
multi-channel ultrasonic testing system PCUS 40 is based on standard
PC bus systems (ISA or PCI) and can be configured for
essentially any client-specific application. The system is
designed to operate with standard and specific
signal-processing methods and provides numerous upgrading
capabilities realized through additional expansion boards
and/or add-on components. Integration into other
PC-based systems, such as the Multi-Frequency Eddy Current
system (MFEC), is easily accomplished. The basic version of
the PCUS 40 system is geared toward ultrasonic piping
inspections. In conjunction with IZFP’s digital
Phased-Array front end, the PCUS 40 system is also highly suited for
the ultrasonic testing of heavy components such as reactor pressure
vessels.
