Ultrasonic Testing
UT, PAUT and TOFD analysis and reporting on a Windows workstation.
Fox UT reads and writes the open .nde format, and opens MFMC and CSV. It computes the focal laws for PAUT linear and sectorial scans, records from its built-in simulator, a replayed file or acquisition hardware on an open protocol, and shows the data in linked A, B, C and S views, with TOFD tools, DAC / TCG, dB-drop sizing and the report.
Open
Simulator, file replay and a TCP instrument protocol.
PAUT
Linear and sectorial scans, with focal laws.
TOFD
Lateral-wave removal and SAFT.
.nde
Reads 3.3 and 4.x and writes 4.1. Opens MFMC and CSV.
Runs with no instrument attached: a built-in simulator and file replay, plus an open, documented protocol for acquisition hardware.
Fox UT takes data from its simulator, a recorded file, acquisition hardware or a file on disk, and sends it out as a report, an export or a new .nde recording.
Data in
From its simulator or a replayed recording, or as .nde, MFMC and CSV files from disk.
1 Linked views
A, B, C and S views that follow one cursor.
2 Gates
Calibrate, then set the gates.
3 TOFD
Lateral-wave removal and SAFT on the TOFD scan.
4 Size and report
Size by dB drop, then write the report.
Data out
A PDF or HTML report from a template, CSV and JSON exports, and a new .nde recording.
Grouped the way an inspection is worked through.
Record encoded scans from the built-in simulator, replay a recorded file, or connect acquisition hardware through an open, documented TCP protocol, and save the result as .nde.
Start from a setup template, compute the focal laws for a linear or sectorial scan, and check on a drawing of the weld how the beams cover the bevel.
Read the data in A, B, C and S views that follow one cursor, in panes you arrange yourself, with gates, soft gain, palettes and a weld overlay on the corrected S-scan.
Find the lateral wave, straighten the scan to it or remove it, read depth from the probe spacing, and fit a hyperbolic cursor to a diffraction arc, with SAFT migration as an option.
Set the velocity and wedge delay from two echoes and the reference gain, build DAC and TCG curves from reference reflectors, and size what the gate finds by dB drop, listed in an indication table.
Write the report from a template with your own fields and logo, and take the data out to other tools.
The order an operator works in, from the setup to the report.
Pick a setup template, enter the thickness and velocity, and compute the focal laws; the scan plan shows the beams on the weld.
Record from the simulator, a replayed file or hardware on the open protocol, or open an .nde, MFMC or CSV file.
Set velocity, wedge delay and reference gain, and build the DAC or TCG curve from reference reflectors.
Work through the linked views, the gates and the TOFD tools, and size what you find by dB drop.
Write the report as PDF or HTML from a template, and export the data as CSV or JSON.
Fox UT keeps its data in the open .nde format and connects to hardware over a documented protocol.
Reads and writes the open .nde format (3.3 and 4.x), and opens MFMC and CSV.
PDF and HTML reports and CSV and JSON exports, with recordings saved back as .nde.
Connects to acquisition hardware through an open, documented TCP protocol: messages as JSON lines and A-scans as 16-bit samples, with a reference bridge to start from.
Conventional 0°, 45° and 60°, phased-array sectorial weld and linear corrosion mapping, and TOFD.
Weld inspection, corrosion mapping, composite and lamination, calibration record and a generic UT report, each with your own fields and logo.
Runs on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. A built-in simulator and file replay mean it runs with no instrument attached.
Tell us about your inspections and the data you work with, and we will show you Fox UT running.
