ULTRASONIC THICKNESS GAUGE 0.8-300MM GEN. USE 5.0MHZ

An ultrasonic thickness gauge is a device used to measure the thickness ofmaterials using ultrasonic waves. It is commonly employed in industries likemanufacturing, metalworking, shipbuilding, and aerospace to non-destructivelymeasure the thickness of materials such as metals, plastics, composites, glass,and ceramics.

Applications:

1. Industrial Inspection: Ultrasonic thickness gauges arecommonly used to inspect the thickness of pipelines, tanks, boilers, andother equipment to detect corrosion or wear.
2. Aerospace and Automotive: Used to measure the thicknessof materials in aircraft, cars, and other vehicles to ensure safety andintegrity.
3. Manufacturing: In production lines, ultrasonic gaugesensure materials like plastic, rubber, and metal components are of thecorrect thickness.
4. Shipbuilding: Critical for checking the thickness ofship hulls and other structural components exposed to harsh marineenvironments.

Advantages:

• Non-Destructive: Measurements can be made withoutdamaging or altering the material.
• Versatile: Can measure a wide range of materials, frommetals to plastics.
• Precise: Offers high accuracy and repeatability, makingit reliable for quality control and safety inspections.

Limitations:

• Surface Preparation: The surface needs to be clean, andsometimes a coupling gel is required to ensure proper contact between thetransducer and the material.
• Material Dependency: The speed of sound varies betweenmaterials, so the device must be calibrated for the specific material beingtested.

An ultrasonic thickness gauge is a powerful tool for maintaining thestructural integrity of equipment and ensuring product quality without damagingthe workpiece.

Key Features:

1. Ultrasonic Technology: The device sends high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) into the material. These waves reflect back to the sensor, and the time it takes for the sound waves to return is used to calculate the thickness.
2. Transducer: A probe or sensor (called a transducer) is placed on the material's surface, which emits and receives the ultrasonic waves.
3. Measure the thickness of tank, pipe and big workpiece
4. LCD with backlight
5. Digital Display: The thickness measurement is shown on a digital display in units like millimeters or inches.
6. Material Calibration: The device often needs to be calibrated based on the specific material being measured, as different materials have different sound velocities.
