Waygate USM Go+ Ultrasonic Flaw Detector
Overview
Waygate USM Go+ is a portable ultrasonic flaw detector ergonomically designed to be light, small, and easy to use in the harshest inspection environments across the oil and gas, aerospace, power generation, and automotive industries. Featuring a proven graphical user interface, D-pad arrow-key control, and outstanding near-surface resolution, the Waygate USM Go+ takes handheld UT performance a step further, reliably detecting defects located just below the surface of the test piece.
As the official authorized partner and exclusive regional representative for Waygate Technologies, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the Waygate USM Go+ ultrasonic flaw detector to industrial, oil and gas, and manufacturing 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 quality control engineers and procurement teams in Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah receive an authentic, factory-certified Waygate USM Go+ backed by regional service.
Working Principle
The Waygate USM Go+ operates on the ultrasonic pulse-echo principle: a probe launches an ultrasonic pulse into the test material through one of two Lemo-00 probe connectors, and the instrument analyzes the timing and amplitude of returning echoes to identify and size internal flaws, voids, and discontinuities. A simulated spike pulser mode (120 to 300V amplitude) covers general-purpose testing, while an optional uni-polar square wave pulser, adjustable in 10V amplitude and 20ns pulse-width steps, extends capability into more demanding inspection scenarios.
This measurement architecture gives the Waygate USM Go+ its defining field advantage: two independent flaw monitor gates, with gate B triggerable from gate A, allow simultaneous monitoring of two regions of interest within a single scan, while trigonometric flaw location calculations with curvature correction support accurate weld inspection geometry. A wide, user-selectable Pulse Repetition Frequency range from 15 to 2000 Hz lets inspectors choose low PRF for forging inspection free of ghost echoes, or high PRF for fast weld scanning, all from the same instrument.
Engineering Design of the Waygate USM Go+
The Waygate USM Go+ weighs less than 2 lb (850 g) with battery installed and is built around a 5 in. diagonal, 800 x 480 pixel wide VGA color LCD display – better resolution than a standard DVD – optimized for highly defined echo separation whether the instrument is hand-held or desk-mounted. A truly ambidextrous “Flip” function allows the display and rocker-switch functionality to reorient instantly for left- or right-handed operation, and a detachable stand with standard tripod thread lets the user optimize viewing angle when bench-mounted.
The instrument is rated IP67 for dust and water ingress and has passed vibration and shock testing, supporting reliable operation in confined spaces and demanding field conditions. A rechargeable Li-Ion battery provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous operation and can be recharged on- or off-board, while an SD card up to 16 GB stores test reports, A-Scan screenshots, and A-Scan video recordings of up to 8 minutes for full inspection playback and review by more qualified personnel. Standard, DGS, and Advanced package configurations add DAC/TCG, AWS, JISDAC, JFLANK, Phantom PRF, and a thickness data recorder to match specific inspection codes, and the instrument can be field-upgraded with a DMS Go+ thickness gauge module to combine flaw detection and precision corrosion measurement in one device.
Key Features
The Waygate USM Go+ combines rugged portability with advanced ultrasonic performance that makes it a leading choice for field-based flaw detection across demanding industries.
- Outstanding near-surface resolution reliably detects flaws located just below the surface of the test piece.
- A 5 in., 800 x 480 pixel color display delivers excellent echo separation, whether hand-held or desk-mounted.
- A truly ambidextrous flip function supports equally comfortable left- or right-handed operation.
- Two independent flaw monitor gates, with gate B triggerable from gate A, support simultaneous dual-region monitoring.
- A selectable 15 to 2000 Hz Pulse Repetition Frequency covers both low-PRF forging inspection and high-PRF weld scanning.
- IP67 dust and waterproof rating with vibration and shock testing supports use in harsh field environments.
- Up to 5.5 hours of battery operation, rechargeable on- or off-board, supports full-shift inspection work.
- Field-upgradeable to add DMS Go+ thickness gauge capability, combining flaw detection and corrosion thickness measurement.
Industrial Applications
The Waygate USM Go+ is deployed across weld inspection, inspection of forgings and castings, rail inspection, and composite material inspection wherever portable, high-performance ultrasonic flaw detection is required in the field. Typical duties include AWS and DAC weld quality verification, manual PRF-adjusted forging and casting inspection with phantom echo indication, high-speed rail inspection, and composite inspection using RF display and TCG correction.
As the officially authorized partner for Waygate Technologies, Seven Star LLC distributes the Waygate USM Go+ to fabrication yards, refineries, and manufacturing plants throughout Oman and the GCC. The flaw detector is a strong fit for weld inspection and fabrication quality control across the Sohar and Salalah industrial zones, as well as for oil and gas, aerospace, and general manufacturing facilities across Muscat that require dependable, portable ultrasonic flaw detection.
