RSflite
RSflite is an optimal choice for composite inspections and any corrosion mapping applications. When paired with UTmap and a Wheelprobe, the RSflite solution stands out for its exceptional speed and seamless integration.
Overview
Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) has helped engineers inspect composites and metallic structures across all industries for years. Whether it be traditional aluminium laminates, steel pipelines, pressure vessel shells or today's more complex carbon fibre-based composites, ultrasonic NDT technology has the ability to inspect these parts and create complete inspection maps showing attachment locations, defects and wall losses. Comprehensive integrity reports can be generated, supported by imaging reports and CSV file exporting, data review is simple and repeatable.
Active with key industry leaders for more than 60 years, Sonatest is proud to present the RSflite linear scanning instrument.

Ultrasonic linear scanning solution
For composite inspection, a linear scan (L-Scan), sometimes referred to as an electronic scan (E-Scan), uses a group of elements of a linear array probe to pulse a single straight beam (1) , then another adjacent beam (2). This sequence is repeated equally over the full length of the array (3).
This ultrasonic NDT technique is particularly efficient to detect the most common defects inside composite structures and metallic plate / pipe as it covers large area's rapidly, and generates high-resolution data sets and images.
Advanced solution benefits
