High Portability Applications —
Throw It in Your Bag and Go
Nondestructive testing inspectors working in high portability industries require a lightweight, capable equipment. The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector has a small, ergonomic design yet has all of the core functionality of the popular EPOCH 650 flaw detector. Comfortable and easy to use, the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is small enough to fit into a bag with other equipment. When you’re on the move, the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector for high portability applications has features that help you do your job quickly and efficiently while remaining comfortable.
Designed for Ultra-High Portability
Weighs just 1.95 pounds (890 g) with a grip-oriented weight distribution for one-handed operation with minimal wrist fatigue
Rotary knob and simple button design make it easy to use, even when wearing gloves
Clear, bright screen for readable A-scans in any light
Engineered to IP65/67 and drop tested
The user interface is optimized for single-handed operation. Make adjustments in full A-scan mode using contextual menus, and easily load stored setups using the Quick Recall function for rapid application transitions
When your inspection is finished, the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector makes data management easy. Multiple report and data file formats can be exported from the instrument via removable USB memory, or with optional Wireless LAN, to the Olympus Scientific Cloud. Take advantage of the instrument’s data management features, including:
Export calibration, incremental, and 2D data file formats
Thickness survey export in .CSV format
Transmit and archive inspection data wirelessly
Rapid, remote access to inspection data via the Olympus Scientific Cloud
In-Service Pipeline
In-Service Pipeline Inspections
The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is light and ergonomic, making it a good choice for in-service pipeline inspections. The instrument includes flaw sizing software, such as dynamic DAC/TCG and DGS/AVG for weld and crack sizing inspections, as well as optional corrosion software for efficient and precise pipeline corrosion inspections.
Features for In-Service Pipeline Inspections
The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector features an improved corrosion software option, including:
Automatic probe recognition and configuration with center pin ID
Dynamic toggle between flaw scanning and high precision spot measurement modes
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
Thickness gage high precision measurement algorithm
Automatic zero function (“Do Zero”)
Grid view for data visualization
The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector features the same high dynamic range pulser/receiver as the EPOCH 650 flaw detector, including:
PerfectSquareTM tunable square wave pulser
Digital high dynamic range receiver
Eight (8) 100% digital filter sets
Pulser voltage from 100 V to 400 V
Five customizable digital measurements
Standard Flaw Sizing Software
Dynamic DAC/TCG: Compares signal amplitude to a DAC curve or reference echo amplitude; the DAC version includes standard, custom DAC warning curves, and 20-80% views
DGS/AVG: Compares signal amplitude to a DGS/AVG diagram, which illustrates the relationship between echo height, flaw size, and distance from the transducer
In-Service Rail
In-Service Rail Inspections
Rail inspectors are frequently on the move and require inspection technology that brings results without the hassle of a heavy, complicated instrument. The intuitive user interface of the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector enables fast and effective flaw detection and prove-up of defects in a highly portable and rugged case design. This combination is ideal for the challenging environment of the rail inspection market.

Pulser voltage from 100 V to 400 V
Five customizable digital measurements
Aircraft Maintenance
Aircraft Maintenance Inspections
Aircraft NDT inspectors are often expected to utilize multiple nondestructive testing disciplines in their inspection, such as eddy current or remote video, in addition to ultrasound. The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is durable, compact, and easily fits in a bag with other equipment. The user interface is intuitive, so even if you don’t operate ultrasonic flaw detectors regularly, you can be confident in your inspection results. Since many newer aircraft skins and components are constructed with difficult-to-inspect composite materials, the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector includes the pulser power and signal-to-noise ratio necessary to solve these challenging applications.
