Measure Without Removing CoatingsThis ultrasonic thickness gauge allows direct measurement of the base metal beneath coatings such as paint or varnish, eliminating the need for time-consuming surface preparation. The devices through coating function enhances workflow efficiency and preserves the integrity of the applied coating, making it ideal for inspection and quality assurance in various industries.
Precision and Convenience in One DeviceDesigned for versatility, the gauge supports user-adjustable velocity selection, enabling accurate measurements across diverse materials. The backlit LCD, 6-key soft-touch operation, and selectable units (mm/inch) streamline usage. With auto power-off and low power consumption, the device ensures extended field readiness. The rugged ABS plastic housing with IP65 splashproof protection makes it suitable for challenging environments.
FAQs of Through Coating Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge:
Q: How does the through coating measurement feature work on this ultrasonic thickness gauge?
A: The gauge uses ultrasonic pulses to penetrate through surface coatings, such as paints or varnishes, and measures only the base metal thickness. This eliminates the need to remove coatings before measurement, saving time and preserving the coatings condition.
Q: What is the process for calibrating the device?
A: The gauge supports both single-point and two-point calibration modes. Users simply use calibration blocks or reference samples during setup to ensure measurement accuracy for various materials. Calibration can be quickly accessed and set using the gauges operating keypad.
Q: When should I use the velocity adjustment function?
A: Velocity adjustment is useful when measuring different materials with varying sound velocities. The user can input the material-specific velocity (between 10009999 m/s) to enhance measurement precision for metals, plastics, or other coated substrates.
Q: Where can this thickness gauge be effectively used?
A: This device is ideal for use in metal fabrication, shipbuilding, automotive maintenance, industrial inspection, and anywhere coated substrates require evaluation. Its portability, durability, and splashproof casing allow both indoor and outdoor operation across various industries.
Q: What benefits does data logging provide with this model?
A: The built-in data logging function stores up to 500 readings, enabling users to maintain records for quality control, trend analysis, or reporting purposes. The optional USB connectivity facilitates convenient data transfer to a computer for further analysis.
Q: How does the device ensure measurement accuracy in different environmental conditions?
A: Engineered with an ABS housing and IP65-rated splashproof protection, the gauge operates reliably in harsh conditions. It can be used within a temperature range of -10C to 60C and up to 85% non-condensing humidity, making it suitable for demanding environments.
