The prisma ultrasonic flaw detector offers the end user, outstanding performance in the field together with the flexibility and capability to step up from using a high-end ultrasonic flaw detector to an instrument with phased array functionality.

All models have TOFD capability on board, together with excellent reporting output. Typical applications are broad but include Rail Testing, Weld inspection, Corrosion Mapping, Aerospace and Composite Testing.

The Prisma ultrasonic flaw detector offers the end user outstanding performance in the field together with the flexibility and capability to step up from using a high-end ultrasonic flaw detector to an instrument with phased array functionality. Simple controls, superior performance, advanced features and a rugged enclosure deliver simplicity, capability and reliability to the technician’s finger tips. With the best display size and resolution in it’s category, the Prisma provides the end user with an intuitive and workflow driven interface, excellent imaging capability using the Full screen mode allowing 100% of the display to be used for Scan Imaging. Take full advantage of the advanced display modes which include smoothing, contouring and averaging all available to enhance your signal quality. The Prisma is designed to meet IP66; which ensures the unit is fully sealed against fine dust and jets of water.

Sonatest’s Prisma PA model provides the user with an ultrasonic Phased Array flaw detector. The tool contains PA capability from 16:16 manual to 16:64, with 2D encoding. It features an updated imaging system that allows the A scan, B scans and C scans to be used. The 3D ScanPlan includes the part, weld, wedge, probe and scan coverage. Prisma can be used in different areas of applications, such as aerospace, marine, composite and corrosion applications. In addition, the Prisma Phased Array equipment comes with numerous palettes for all scans. Prisma gives you the opportunity of using conventional UT and TOFD when required. The Phased Array equipment is also capable of complete data recording, including screen shots.

3 Models Available:

Prisma UT
The Prisma UT model is fully loaded, with all the basic and advanced features of the Sonatest flaw detector range. Prisma UT offers damping control to either optimize near surface resolution or energy transmission. The ability to capture screens is standard, combined with automatic reporting capabilities enable reports to be formatted with relative customer information such as logos etc. The most popular flaw sizing techniques such as DAC, AVG/DGS, TGC and AWS are all on-board. Thanks to the on-board B and C-Scan imaging capabilities, the Prisma UT enables field technicians to conduct corrosion and composite inspections, together with comprehensive on-site thickness profiling.

Prisma TOFD
The Prisma TOFD brings to the market a truly portable and powerful TOFD unit. The Prisma offers the best digitizing frequency going up to 200MHz, meaning that high frequency transducers can be used, ensuring the most accurate flaw height sizing possible. With 2 UT channels, the Prisma permits the inspection of thick components in a single pass. This is enhanced by the high voltage square wave pulsers delivering up to 450V, cutting the need for an external pre-amplifier. Prisma TOFD offers the complete hardware configuration to deliver the best performance, but it would be incomplete without the on-board software features such as hyperbolic cursors, lateral wave straightening and lateral wave removal.

Prisma PA
Ultrasonic Phased Array technology has become the established method for advanced NDT testing applications. Phased Array Techniques allow the user to cover a wider volume of inspection; such as being able to cover the complete span of a weld without the need to move or reposition the transducer. This is possible due to phased array enabling beams to be electronically steered. This technique results in comprehensive imaging of the results showing a quasi cross section of the inspected part. With the Prisma PA you can switch easily and quickly between the UT and PA operating modes with a simple press of a button, no data or time is lost. The Inspection Plan shows the operator in 2D and 3D where probes are positioned on the test part, simplifying the inspection set up and providing an inspection reference for reporting. All adjustments to focal laws are instantaneous. Multiple sectorial scans, true top, side and end view extractions, together with C-Scans, are all supported.
