USED GE Inspection Technologies USM 35X Ultrasonic Flaw Detector
The latest version of the USM 35X portable ultrasonic flaw detector from GE’s Inspection Technologies business, is now totally protected against the ingress of dust and high pressure jets of water to IP 66 and contains new software which allows its operation to Japanese weld inspection standards. The USM 35X is designed for industrial environments by weighing only 2.2 kg, having a 14 hour battery life and by having a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius.
$1,010.00
The USM 35 X ultrasonic flaw detectors is differentiated from other flaw detectors in its use of color displays which enhances the clarity of inspections, specifically for weld inspections. The use of color can also make easy comparisons during A-Scans.
The USM 35X is designed for industrial environments by weighing only 2.2 kg, having a 14 hour battery life and by having a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius.
The base instrument package includes the flaw detector, on board battery charger, AC power supply, lithium ion battery, transport case, operating manual and a certificate of conformity.
Protection according to IP 66
A very sturdy housing has been designed for the USM 35X. We achieve a higher environmental protection and have improved the durability of this flaw detector for harsh use. The IP level corresponds to the degree of protection provided by the housing according to the IEC 529:1989.
IP 66 means that the instrument is totally protected, i.e. dust and water cannot penetrate into the instrument, even with heavy rain, sea spray and powerful jets of water coming from any direction.
Fast and bright color screen
Color brings you many additional benefits in your daily inspection job:
- Color display of monitor gates and curves (DAC, TCG, DGS) for direct recognition
- Messages and alarms in red characters for increased attention
- Use of color to display references (A-scan) to make comparisions easy
Harsh field and industrial environments
- Extended temperature range from 0° C/32° F to 60° C/140° F (-10° C/14° F to 60° C/140° F after individual climatic testing)

- Extended battery life to 14 hours
under real test conditions
Intuitive tools to help analysis
- The Color-Leg function displays coded information on the leg in color about angle beam inspection.
- 2 new carats (colorized triangles pointing at the echo for each gate).
