GE Inspection Technologies USM Go Plus

GE Inspection Technologies USM Go Plus portable ultrasonic flaw detector weighs less than 2 pounds, is robust and well sealed meeting IP67, and built to withstand the rigors and use in harsh industrial environments. It is simple to operate using one hand and its large, high resolution (WVGA) A-Scan display and outstanding ultrasonic performance are essential for inspections based on common codes and standards. The first choice when top UT performance, combined with ultra-portability and one-hand operation is required.

GE Inspection Technologies USM Go Plus has been ergonomically designed to provide an instrument which is light, small and easy to use in the harshest inspection environments. Navigation is simplified using the proven graphical user interface (GUI) and D-pad (arrow key) control, allowing one-handed operation and fast and accurate adjustment.
