Elcometer FD700 Mini Flaw Detectors
Product Description
The hand-held FD700 flaw detector range combines state-of-the-art flaw detection with advanced material thickness capabilities.
The Elcometer FD700 Mini Flaw Detector is available in two models: FD700+ and FD700DL+.
Whether you are on-site or in the laboratory these gauges are the tool you need for all your flaw detecting needs.
The time corrected gain (TCG) feature automatically compensates for sound attenuation through a material, further increasing the performance of the gauge.
The FD700DL+ stores up to 4GB worth of readings with A/B-scan images in alpha numeric batches with full data logging and firmware updates via USB data output to ElcoMaster® data management software.
