Advanced Ultrasonic Instrument

Sonia Green

Main Features

Sonia Green is an ultrasonic dual module compatible with SONIA architecture designed for Through-Transmission (TTU) applications. This module is divided in two submodules, 2 complete channels, with high power pulser (FTT-2T) and high dynamic range receiver (FTT-2R)

  1. Through -Transmission, tandem, pitch & catch, pulse-eco (dual probe) applications .
  2. Contact, water or air coupled probes
  3. Fully digital receiver stage, with high dynamic range (>105 dB without filters, >130 dB with filters).
  4. Low and medium frequency range, bandwidth from 20 KHz to 20 MHz (probes from 50KHz to 10 MHz).
  5. Negative square wave, bipolar and burst pulser, up to 400 Vpp, 16 cycles..
  6. High digital signal processing capabilities (digital filters, gates, signal types, etc…).
  7. Small size that permits to minimize the length of the transducers cables, digitizing the UT signal very close to the transducers. This implies lower UT signal distortion, attenuation and noise.
  8. Replace the analog communication lines by digital ones, immune to electromagnetic interferences (fiber optic), which means no signal distortion and/or noise in the transmitted signals and performance independent of installation layout.
  9. Low power consumption. The electronic boards are sealed in non-ventilated rugged enclosure.
