1 Introduction
UT8000 is high quality Conventional Ultrasound instrument.
The product consists of a high-performance sensor and a iOS app, which allows to easily
perform advanced measurements. The UT8000 sensor wirelessly connects to the iOS device
(e.g. iPad), which runs the UT app. Given mobile data connectivity (Wi-Fi or mobile network),
the UT app automatically and safely stores all measurements on the Screening Eagle
Figure 1: UT8000 System
1.1 Scope of this document
This manual provides information for the UT8000 inspection instrument. It has been designed
so that people with good knowledge of conventional ultrasonic testing can easily and rapidly
use the UT8000 to make inspections.
1.2 Product versions
In order to be able to use the functionality of the pm app, a software license is required.
The following licenses are available and offer different functionality:
UT base software
UT Pro software

3 Measurement Principle
The instructions in this operation handbook will show you how to use your test equipment. The
test findings are also influenced by a variety of other parameters, but it is outside the purview
of this operating handbook to describe them all. The following three conditions must be met
for an ultrasonic inspection to be safe and accurate:
•Operator training
•technical test specifications
•Selection of suitable test instruments
3.1 Operation training
Ultrasonic test procedures must be properly learned to operate an ultrasonic test device.
Adequate knowledge of the theory of sound propagation, the effects of sound velocity in the
test material, the behaviour of the sound wave at material interfaces, the propagation of the
sound beam, the influence of sound attenuation in the test object, and the influence of surface
quality of the test object are just a few examples of what constitutes proper training.
Lack of such knowledge could lead to false test results with unforeseeable consequences.
Many technical societies, business associations, and governmental organizations can provide
more detailed information about operator training, qualifications, certification, and test
requirements.
3.2 Technical test specifications
Certain technical test standards must be met for every ultrasonic test.
The selection of:
•an acceptable test technique
•the consideration of material qualities
•the defining of the scope of the inspection
•the setting of recording and assessment limitations
are the four most crucial ones.
It is the obligation of those who oversee testing overall to make sure the inspector is completely
aware of these standards. The experience with similar test objects serves as the greatest
foundation for such knowledge. Also, it's crucial that the inspector fully comprehends all
pertinent test specifications.
