On October 1-4, 2023 OKOndt GROUP attended Railway Interchange 2023 - the largest North American railway event. This time the exhibition took place in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (Indiana Convention Center) and brought together over 700 exhibitors and more than 8, 000 visitors who are the major influencers in the industry. Thank you to everyone who was with us at the RI 2023!

ОKО-22М-UT ultrasonic flaw detector purpose

The ОКО-22М-UT ultrasonic flaw detector is a standalone electronic unit and is intended for application in high-performance automated multi-channel NDT Systems, transportable systems (mechanized NDT systems) or for manual testing.

Available in several flaw detector models that are different in number of channels and in a volume of built-in functions for results processing.

Due to the flaw detector is designed in a form of a standalone device with the connection to the PC via Ethernet port, the several UT channels can be connected to the PC via Switch unit. This allows to create UT multi-channel testing systems.

Technical capabilities of the flaw detector allow to use it both in stationary-type in-line and off-line testing systems.
