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!

Ultrasonic flaw detectors

The flaw detector is intended for defects detection in both rails along the running surface and rail cross-section, except for the rail base blades using flaw detection trolley during complete testing, and for the confirmatory testing of separate rail cross-sections and welded joints by means of manual probes.

UDS2-77 ultrasonic single rail flaw detector is a mechanized trolley intended for the inspection of one rail line.
The flaw detector utilizes a unique scanning scheme that allows testing the entire rail section, except for foot flanges, by pulse echo, echo-shadow and echo-image techniques.

USR-01 Set is intended for ultrasonic inspection of aluminothermic welded rail joints in accordance with EN14730-1 requirements. The USR-01 Set can be used for inspection of joints welded by the electrocontact method, for secondary rail track inspection based on the results of mechanized and quick systems of ultrasonic testing, as well as for pre-weld inspection of end sections of new and used rails before welding them at rail welding enterprises or in tracks.

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.

Over few decades TOFD method is widely used for fast and reliable UT of welded joints. TOFD offers great accuracy for measuring the critical size of crack-like-defects. The accuracy of better than ±1mm can be obtained in a wide range of material thickness.
