FAQs of Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge (Standard):
Q: How do I operate the Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge for accurate measurements?
A: To operate the gauge, attach the dual-element transducer to the specimen using a suitable couplant and ensure proper coupling as indicated on the display. Set the appropriate sound velocity for your material. Press the measurement button, and the device will display the thickness reading within 0.5 seconds with a resolution of 0.1 mm.
Q: What types of materials can this thickness gauge measure?
A: This gauge is suitable for measuring the thickness of both metal and non-metal components, as long as their sound velocity is within the adjustable range of 10009999 m/s. It is commonly used in industrial, laboratory, and automation applications for quality assurance and corrosion monitoring.
Q: When should I replace the batteries in the Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge?
A: Replace the 2 x 1.5V AA alkaline batteries when you see the low battery indicator on the display or if the device no longer powers on. With normal use and the backlight off, you can expect up to 250 hours of battery life.
Q: Where is the Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge most effective for use?
A: It is highly effective in industrial and laboratory settings, including manufacturing plants, metal fabrication shops, and maintenance departmentsanywhere accurate and repeatable non-destructive thickness measurement is required.
Q: What is the setup process for different types of specimens?
A: For best results, ensure the minimum diameter of the specimen is at least 20 mm. Apply couplant to improve ultrasonic transmission between the probe and the surface. Select or calibrate the sound velocity to match the material, and ensure a proper connection via the standard BNC connector.
Q: How does the coupling indicator assist during testing?
A: The coupling indicator visually confirms on the LCD display when the probe is making a good acoustic connection with the test surface. This reduces the risk of measurement errors and improves reliability.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge?
A: Key benefits include rapid and accurate measurements, ease of use with a digital LCD display, extended battery life, portability due to compact design, and durability from an ABS engineering plastic case. Additional features like auto shutdown and low battery indicator maximize operational efficiency.
