Overview
EPOCH 6LT for Rope Access Applications — Harness the Power of PortabilityDon’t compromise your comfort or safety during rope access inspections to get a flaw detector with the nondestructive testing capabilities you need. With the EPOCH® 6LT ultrasonic flaw detector and our rope access accessory kit, you can easily strap the instrument to your leg or attach it to your harness for true hands-free operation. Depending on how you choose to position the instrument, you can rotate the inspection display to portrait mode so you can properly visualize the A-scan and associated readings. With the unit secured, make parameter adjustments using either your left or right hand, leaving your other hand free for balance and maneuvering. |
In-Service Wind Turbine
In-Service Wind Turbine InspectionIn-service wind turbine towers and blades are regularly inspected by rope access NDT technicians, and the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is powerful enough to conduct both inspections using a single instrument. The acoustic and sizing features of the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector are well-suited to inspecting the welded joints of a wind tower. Given the attenuation and sound scattering properties of composite blade material, turbine blade inspections require a very capable instrument, and the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is up to the challenge. |
Features for Wind Tower InspectionsThe EPOCH 6LT flaw detector features the same high dynamic range pulser/receiver as the EPOCH 650 flaw detector, including:

Offshore Platform
Offshore Platform InspectionsOffshore oil platforms are steel structures that are particularly susceptible to corrosion. Consequently, NDT corrosion and weld inspections are essential. For rope access technicians working on oil rigs, the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is comfortable to use and has the features to get the job done. With an innovative corrosion module software option, corrosion scanning is fast and efficient, even while suspended above the ocean from a rope. And with a comprehensive set of weld-related support features, you can accomplish inspections guided by a variety of procedures and sizing techniques. |
Bridge and Structural Steel
Bridge and Structural Steel InspectionsThe EPOCH 6LT flaw detector offers all of the necessary features for bridge and structural steel inspections, including an optional AWS D1.1/1.5 Weld Rating Calculator for dynamic indication ratings. Other feature requirements, such as DAC/TCG and DGS/AVG, are included with every EPOCH 6LT flaw detector to provide flexible inspection tools for weld and base material evaluation. |
