or through S 4922A064D016 active PA functionality extension adapter (ISONIC 3510)



The video below illustrates the principles of forming focal laws and providing Tandem B-Scan screening of the material:



The instruments allow composing and implementing a group of tandem focal laws a strip chart - this mode of operation allows quick line-scanning of the narrow gap welds with zonal discrimination, butt welds in HDPE pipes, etc as it is illustrated by the videos below:
