| Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges |
| Elcometer offers a range of Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges affective for many applications. These robust, hand held instruments are used for measuring the thickness of materials where access to only one only side of the test piece is available. |
| MEASURING... |
|
|
|
Many different materials can be measured such as steel, cast
iron, plastic, epoxy resin and glass fibre.
|
| TECHNIQUE |
| Each material has a different sound velocity. A pulse of ultrasound is injected into the material by the probe. It travels to the far side of the item and returns as an echo. The time it travelled is measured and converted to a distance. |
| CALIBRATION |
| One point calibration |
| This method is used is measurements are to be taken over a large range of thickness. |
| Two point calibration |
| This method allows for greater accuracy for measurements over a small range of thickness. |
| Calibrate to known velocity |
| This is to allow the thickness of material to be identified if the sound velocity is known. |
| FEATURES |
|
|
| GAUGE CAPACITIES |
| High speed scan mode |
| Identifies the minimun thickness point over a large area by moving the transducer over the surface. While the transducer is in contact with the material being measured the smallest value is held in memory and displayed when scanning in complete. (Model C205, C206 and C206DL) |
| Differencial mode |
| Displays the positive or negative difference between a pre-set nominal (target) thickness value and the actual measured value. (Model C206 and C206DL) |
| Alarm mode |
| Allows the user to set a target so that an audible and visual alarm operates when taking measurements. If the measurement falls below a pre-set nominal (target) value a red LED will light and the bleeper sounds. A green LED will light to indicate an acceptable thickness. (Model C206 and C206DL) |
| Data output |
| Allows the user to send data direct to a printer or PC. (Model C206 and C206DL) |
| Data-logging |
| A storage capacity of 1000 measurements -- 10 files consisting of 100 sequential storage locations. Allows the user to send data direct to a printer or PC. (Model C206DL only) |
| EDTS (Elcometer Data Transfer System) |
| PC data transfer utility including genrator of ASCII files and "data drop" add in for Microsoft Excel™ spreadsheets. (Model C206DL and optional with C206) |
| EDCS (Elcometer Data Collection System) |
| Stand alone data management program with advance facilities for archiving, reporting, analysis and data export. (Model C206DL and optional with C206) |
| Transducer probe selection |
| Elcometer have wide range of transducers to meet many application needs -- see data sheet. |
