Inspecting a weld requires a flaw detector with shear wave angle beam probes, which send the beam at an angle through the weld bead. Some high-end thickness gauges offer prove-up functions, useful for qualifying an indication but not a substitute for a flaw detector.   <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757824002000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do you need a certified operator for goods-inwards inspection?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For a simple thickness check on plate and sections, no: instruments such as the ZX-1 are set by scrolling to the material&#8217;s velocity and are used without specialist training. EN ISO 9712 certification becomes necessary when the inspection has the value of a formal NDT acceptance test, in particular on welds. <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757824003000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can the thickness of cast iron be measured?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, with due care. Cast iron attenuates the ultrasound more than steel and the sound velocity varies with the degree of nodularity, so a generic setting alone is not enough. The Velocity Mode found on some models makes it possible to derive the actual velocity on a sample of known thickness and is also used as an indirect nodularity test.  <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757824004000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How much does it cost to introduce goods-inwards inspection?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The investment is that of an entry-level instrument in the range plus a reference block, and it requires neither dedicated personnel nor lengthy training. The comparison has to be made with the cost of machining an out-of-specification semi-finished product, which includes machine hours, material and delay on the order. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To set up a goods-inwards inspection or to choose the flaw detector suited to your welds, <a href=\"https:\/\/ultrasuonindt.it\/en\/contact\/\">write to us<\/a> stating the material, the thicknesses and the acceptance standard.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further information and contacts <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.roder.it\">Systems division and sensor integration partner : www.roder.it<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/ultrasuonindt.it\/chi-siamo\/\">More information about RODER SRL : about us<\/a><br\/>Contact for general information : <a href=\"mailto:info@roder.it\">info@roder.it<\/a><br\/>Contact for information about these products : <a href=\"mailto:info@roder.it\">info@roder.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>The information contained on this web page is provided for information purposes only.
