Waygate Technologies USM Go+ Ultrasonic Flaw Detector

Overview

Waygate Technologies USM Go+ is a portable ultrasonic flaw detector engineered to combine top-tier UT performance with genuine ultra-portability, designed to fit comfortably in the palm of a hand or a coverall pocket for inspection in confined spaces and areas of difficult access. Built by Waygate Technologies, formerly known as GE Inspection Technologies, the Waygate Technologies USM Go+ serves weld inspection, forging and casting inspection, rail inspection, and composite inspection applications across the oil and gas, aerospace, power generation, and automotive industries.

As the official authorized partner and exclusive regional representative for Waygate Technologies, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the Waygate Technologies USM Go+ ultrasonic flaw detector to inspection companies, refineries, and industrial customers across Oman and the wider GCC. Every unit shipped through Seven Star LLC is genuine Waygate Technologies product with full manufacturer warranty and access to local technical support – ensuring inspection engineers and procurement teams in Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah receive an authentic, factory-certified Waygate Technologies USM Go+ backed by regional service.

Working Principle

The Waygate Technologies USM Go+ operates on the ultrasonic pulse-echo principle, generating a calibrated pulse through the pulser circuit (compliant with EN12668 specifications) that a transducer transmits into the test material. Reflected echoes from flaws or the back wall are captured, amplified, and displayed on the instrument’s screen, where DAC (Distance Amplitude Correction), AWS, and DGS (Distance Gain Size) evaluation modes allow inspectors to size and characterize indications against established acceptance criteria.

The USM Go+ offers a simulated spike pulser mode with 120 to 300V amplitude, along with an optional uni-polar square wave pulser adjustable from 120 to 300V in 10V steps and 30 to 500ns pulse width in 20ns steps, giving inspectors fine control over penetration and resolution for different materials and defect types. Outstanding Near Surface Resolution allows reliable detection of defects located just below the test piece surface, a capability that distinguishes the USM Go+ from earlier-generation flaw detectors.

Engineering Design of the Waygate Technologies USM Go+

The Waygate Technologies USM Go+ weighs just 850 g (1.87 lb) and is operated via a D-pad (arrow key) control that enables genuine one-handed navigation and fast, accurate adjustment, with a flip function that adapts the instrument equally well to left- or right-handed operators. An 800 x 480 pixel LCD display provides clear signal visualization, and the housing is rated IP67 for dustproof and waterproof protection, backed by vibration and shock testing suited to demanding field environments.

The instrument ships complete with a lithium-ion on-board rechargeable battery, battery charger/AC power supply, ten LCD screen protectors, an 8GB SD card, a transport case, hand strap, quick reference card, operating manual on CD, and a certificate of conformity. A DMS Go+ thickness gauge upgrade can be added to an existing USM Go+ unit, converting the flaw detector into a combined flaw detection and thickness measurement instrument without purchasing a separate device, and stored instrument settings remain interchangeable between the USM Go and USM Go+ platforms.
