Ultrasonic A-Scan Display

The A-Scan is the most classic graphical representation of the ultrasonic signal: the x axis stands for time (or distance), the y axis for the echo amplitude. Seeing the instrument’s A-Scan is fundamental for discriminating multiple echoes, recognising false positives and validating measurements on materials with internal corrosion, pitting or complex microstructures.

In this section we bring together articles and application cases showing how to read the A-Scan correctly on Dakota gauges and flaw detectors.
Dakota instruments with A-Scan
