About This Product
Because the sound pulse reflects off the far wall, students can find the thickness of a pipe, plate or tank without cutting it, then repeat readings on the same sample. Setting the sound velocity for aluminium, cast iron, polyethylene or quartz glass ties the readings to wave physics, while scan mode locates the thinnest point in an area of wear or corrosion.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge measure?
It measures solid materials such as metals, plastics and glass; the sound velocity is set between 1000 and 9999 metres per second to suit the material.
How is it zeroed?
It has an integrated 4.0 millimetre stainless steel calibration block for zero-point calibration.
