The ultrasonic thickness gauge is portable, durable and high-accuracy ultrasonic thickness measurement device based on pulse-echo or echo-echo principle. This series of ultrasonic thickness gauge can be widely used in the fields such as manufacturing, metal processing, chemistry and business inspecting for measuring the thickness of all sorts of materials where the ultrasonic wave can spread through with a constant speed and get the reflection from the back side.
The ultrasonic thickness gauge not only can make accurate measurement on various kinds of plates and processing components like metal materials, high temperature pipes, pipes, steel plates, aluminum plates, plastics, iron pipes, PVC pipes, glass, etc., but also test the thickness loss of pipes and pressure containers after corrosion.

Tips: Calibration of ultrasonic thickness gauge
Before measuring thickness with ultrasonic thickness gauge, the lower limit and linearity of the instrument should be calibrated. The lower limit of the instrument should be calibrated by a test block whose thickness is the lower limit. If the sound velocity of the material is known, the velocity value of ultrasonic thickness gauge can be adjusted in advance, and then the test block attached to the instrument can be used for the calibration with the "calibration key" button of the gauge. In fact, it is found that the thickness of the calibration block of different brands of UT thickness gauges are different, so we should pay attention to the thickness of the standard calibration block in the field inspection, so as not to adjust the wrong reference values.
Generally, the calibration test block attached to ultrasound thickness gauge is small. When the required thickness deviates from the attached one larger, the step calibration blocks is needed. The ultrasound thickness gauge shall be calibrated with the thickness close to the maximum thickness to be measured and the minimum thickness to be measured respectively (or half of the maximum thickness to be measured).
