Overview

The WeldCheck 3 is the newest model in ETher NDE’s WeldCheck series. Based on in-field feedback, it delivers enhanced ruggedness, a toughened screen, improved connector access and optional features such as an encoder wheel. As a dual frequency instrument with conductivity, it handles weld inspection, surface defect detection and low frequency inspection of non-ferrous materials. Two models are available: standard keypad, or thumbwheel for fast single-handed phase and gain adjustment.

Equipped for all environments

Built to be lifted and lowered on ropes, dropped and bumped, the WeldCheck 3 has four harness attachment points, a rear foot stand and over-moulded rubberised corners. Internally it is optimised to resist moist, tropical and salt-laden atmospheres. The connector panel sits across the top of the unit – ideal for rope access and working at height – and a streamlined pipe-stand is built in.

Features

• Daylight readable screen – 14.5cm, 640 x 480 colour LCD with 2mm anti-reflective polycarbonate protector.
• Battery life – 7+ hours with a 100kHz weld probe at full backlight; an AA battery pack adds 4 hours.
• Storage – over 500 data recordings on board.
• Dual frequency mixing – suppress lift-off and other unwanted signals.
• Conductivity – the unit detects the conductivity probe and switches to conductivity mode automatically (KACON001 kit).
• Intuitive menus – selectable soft keys plus dedicated Phase and Gain keys.
