The DCPD-U50 is a modern microprocessor based instrument for measuring crack depth in metals undergoing materials testing. Building on the success of the DCPD-U50 this new unit takes on board customer comments and suggestions, as shown in its impressive features list.
It utilises the pulsed direct current potential drop method (DCPD) which is an established
technique covered by the ASTM 647 standard. The technique involves passing a constant current through the metal under test and measuring the resultant voltage drop that is created across the specimen. The presence of a growing defect will alter this voltage and by suitable calibration, a measure of the defect depth can be obtained.
