Description
The method of the ultrasonic thickness gauge is based on the property of materials to conduct ultrasound, ultrasonic wawes are excited with the piezoceramic plate in the transducer and penetrates into the material through the couplant, then reflected from the bottom surface of the tested sample, and returns to the transducer. Based on the obtained sound transit time in the material, the device calculates the thickness in accordance with the velocity of propagation of ultrasonic waves in the test sample. The thickness value is displayed on the device’s display, the measurement process takes about 1 second.
The thikcness gauge can be used on pulse-echo mode (direct measurement wihtout coating) or in echo-echo mode (though a coating) depending on the sensor (see table down)
The device allows user to record the measurement results in the archive of the device, and subsequently transfer them to a PC using special software.
To visualize the product profile, if necessary not only point measurement, but also scanning, a B-scan is implemented in the device, which allows the user to visually see thinning and thickening of the wall of the testing object. Also, for ease of use, the device has an automatic defect alarm function, its meaning is that the operator can select boundary thickness values (minimum and maximum) when crossing the values of which the device will signal through the speaker, and also give a visual signal.
The version UT-1M has a wireless communication with Android smartphones and tablets.
