The manufacturer’s current page specifies a 100–450 V pulser, 5 Hz–5 kHz PRF, two gates and a range of sizing/data-management options. Some older published specifications report PRF up to 6 kHz and battery life of 16–18 hours, so specifications can vary by software/firmware revision or documentation.

Main capabilities

Advanced flaw evaluation: DAC is standard, while Split DAC, TCG, DGS/AVG, AWS, API, BEA and corrosion software can be added as options. This makes the 700M suitable for different inspection codes and procedures.

Good near-surface performance: Sonatest’s Active Edge™ mode is designed to improve near-surface resolution. The 450 V pulser provides substantial penetrating capability, while selectable spike/square excitation helps accommodate different probes and inspection situations.

Multiple inspection modes: It supports pulse-echo and transmit/receive operation with single-crystal, dual-crystal and pitch-catch probes. Published specifications list eight selectable frequency/filter bands, ranging from low-frequency bands through a wideband 1.6–33 MHz setting.

Data management: Sonatest’s UT-Lity software allows A-scans, B-scans, calibrations and thickness-log data to be managed on a PC, with reporting and export capabilities.

Typical applications

Weld inspection
Corrosion and thickness measurement
Forgings and castings
Composite inspection
Bond testing
Power-generation components
EMAT-related inspection
General manual ultrasonic testing

Overall, the Masterscan 700M is a conventional high-performance UT flaw detector rather than a phased-array instrument. Its strength is rugged field operation, high-voltage pulsing, narrowband filtering, conventional probe compatibility and extensive defect-sizing software.

If you’re evaluating a used Masterscan 700M, the next useful step is to check its exact hardware configuration, installed software options, probe connector (BNC/LEMO), battery condition, calibration status, and whether UT-Lity/required software is included.
