Olympus Epoch LTC Ultrasonic Flaw Detector
the EPocH ltc digital ultrasonic flaw detector offers state-of-the-art technology in a compact and lightweight package. Based on the class-leading EPocH Xt, the EPocH ltc is full featured, complies with the En 12668-1 standard, and has various specialized options to meet your inspection needs.

Ultrasonic flaw detection is widely used in locating and sizing hidden cracks, voids, disbonds, and similar discontinuities in welds, forgings, billets, axles, shafts, tanks and pressure vessels, turbines, and structural components.

the EPocH ltc features a bright, multi-color transflective, full-VGa (640 pixels x 480 pixels) display offering high-resolution a-scans and superior visibility in all lighting conditions, including direct sunlight. the EPocH ltc is also designed for iP67 rating, ensuring that the instrument can perform in the harsh environments common in the inspection field.

Powerful Performance in a Compact Flaw Detector
the EPocH ltc offers many standard features to meet your inspection needs. these include a fixed width square wave pulser, dynamic Dac/tVG, onboard DGs/aVG, selectable digital filters, gain range from 0 dB to 110 dB, peak memory, 0.01 mm (0.001 in.) measurement resolution, and one gate with programmable alarms. in addition, the EPocH ltc offers many optional, application-specific software features such as aWs D1.1/D1.5 weld rating, manual PrF control, pulse width tuning, and the GageView Pro interface program.

Simplified Keypad Design
the EPocH ltc features a simple keypad design that allows full control with the left or right hand for direct access to important functions. the keypad design also makes for rapid and easy parameter adjustments and recall of instrument configuration (cal) files.

Built for Tough Environments
the EPocH ltc can withstand the rigors of field operation in harsh environments, from offshore to deserts.
