Key Features & Options
SONO-ID Wireless Probe Recognition
SONOWALL 70 is the first thickness gauge in the market with intelligent probe identification. The extended probe management allows probe-specific information such as DAC-curves, delay lines, and serial numbers to be saved directly in the ultrasonic probe. In addition to various thickness applications, the device can be upgraded to a full-function flaw detector.
Advantages at Glance
- Certified according to EN or ASTM standard
- SONO-ID for wireless probe recognition
- SONOGRID corrosion management software
- High temperature kit for corrosion testing up to 550°C
- IP67, aluminum housing
SONOGRID Corrosion Management Software
Efficient Corrosion Testing
Corrosion and erosion defects are among the most common safety risks and reasons for production break downs in industrial environments such as refineries, pipeline networks, chemical plants, offshore platforms, storage tanks, etc. In order to maintain assets and to avoid hazards, ultrasonic thickness measurements are typically recorded frequently at pre-defined points creating a virtual grid on the surface of the test object. To help, collect, organize and report readings efficiently, the SONOWALL 70 ultrasonic thickness gauge can be equipped with the SONOGRID Corrosion Management Software.
Advantages
- Efficient and reliable Matrix Data Collection
- Visualization of test path through 3D Grid Creation
- Live Comparison Function and Corrosion Rate Estimation
- Easy Attachment of A-/B-scans and unlimited Text Comments
- Reproducibility through Grid Copy Function and Device Setup List
- Direct Data Export to MS-Excel and custom Report Generation

High Temperature Corrosion Working Kit
Ultrasonic Corrosion Testing up to 550 °C
A large part of Ultrasonic Thickness and Corrosion Measurements are carried out on hot test subjects. These are mainly hot pipes in oil, gas, and petrochemical industrial plants. Maximize your plant availability and productivity with the SONOWALL 70 High Temperature Test Set. The SONOWALL 70 High Temperature Corrosion Kit enables corrosion testing in high temperature areas during operation with innovative for manual inspections up to 550 °C.

Complete Kit
- SONOWALL 70 - High-End A-/B-scan Thickness Gauge with powerful Pulser up to 400 V
- Temperature Compensation - Function for automatic Adjustment of the Sound Velocity of hot Test Objects
- SONSOCAN TS5H Ultrasonic Probe - for precise High Temperature Measurements up to 550°C including armoured Cable and Handle Extension

Cooling Times and Duty Cycle Plot for TS5H
The cooling time above 350°C is roughly equal to the heating time up to a maximum of 1 minute of cooling. For example: after 2 minutes inspection and heating at 400°C the ultrasonic probe needs to cool for 1 minute before re-using it.

SONOWALL 70 - a top product which I was allowed to try out briefly. Even without operating instructions, I was able to operate the device in a very short time. Simple menu navigation (selectable in German), lightweight, usable for almost all applications in ultrasonic testing and innovations such as the RFID chip in the ultrasonic probe and device as well as WLAN dongle for app control have thrilled me. I hope to be able to present the device to my customers in all its facets [...].
