Bridge and Structural Steel Inspections

The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector offers all of the necessary features for bridge and structural steel inspections, including an optional AWS D1.1/1.5 Weld Rating Calculator for dynamic indication ratings. Other feature requirements, such as DAC/TCG and DGS/AVG, are included with every EPOCH 6LT flaw detector to provide flexible inspection tools for weld and base material evaluation.

Features for Bridge and Structural Steel Inspections

The AWS D1.1/1.5 Weld Rating Calculator provides a dynamic reflector indication rating for various AWS weld inspection applications. This eliminates manual calculations for more efficient inspections.

The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector features the same high dynamic range pulser/receiver as the EPOCH 650 flaw detector, including:

  • PerfectSquare TM tunable square wave pulser
  • Digital high dynamic range receiver
  • Eight (8) 100% digital filter sets
  • Pulser voltage from 100 V to 400 V
  • Five customizable digital measurements

Standard Flaw Sizing Software

  • Dynamic DAC/TCG: Compares signal amplitude to a DAC curve or reference echo amplitude; the DAC version includes standard, custom DAC warning curves, and 20-80% views
  • DGS/AVG: Compares signal amplitude to a DGS/AVG diagram, which illustrates the relationship between echo height, flaw size, and distance from the transducer
