TEST INSTRUMENT

The Hoyt Ultrasonic Bondmeter has been developed to check for proper bonds between the lining and the shell of a plain bearing. It should be especially useful in the examination of diesel engine bearings. Tests made with the unit are completely non-destructive. It can be used on newly-lined bearings, or for the routine inspection of bearings in service. The instrument will operate successfully with any white-metal, and with any shell material except cast-iron.
