Print and Product Showcase Ultrasonic Gauge Offers Auto Linear Compensation The ST-130 ultrasonic thickness gauge provides a measuring range of 1.0 to 300 mm, accuracy of ± 1%H+0.1 mm, a resolution of 0.01 mm, and a working frequency of 5 MHz. The gauge also offers auto calibration and auto linear compensation. Featured are data store, data recall, and data delete functions, as well as a LCD backlight display. 12 Inspection Trends / April 2013 Sonostar www.sonostar-ndt.com 86 20-23282095 Simulation Software Models UT Inspections CIVA ATHENA 2D couples ultrasonic testing with finite element modeling (FEM) to extend the software’s ultrasonic testing (UT) simulation possibilities. While doing a simulation, the software takes into account all physical phenomena, even the most complex, within a userdefined perimeter that is placed around the defects. This interface remains close to the usual CIVA interface and does not require knowledge of FEM. This provides a faster calculation time and beam propagation, and its interaction with flaws can also be visualized. EXTENDE, Inc. www.extende.com (518) 602-1368 (fax) LEDs Enhance Pipe Inspection Performance The LED illumination for QuickView® pipe inspection cameras enhances short- to mid-range zoom inspection of storm and sewer pipes. It is available as an option on new systems or as an upgrade to existing ones. The LED option offers better
