Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge Model ST100A range 1.2 - 225mm
ST100A

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

Applications:

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

Advantages:

  • Non-Destructive: Measurements can be made without damaging or altering the material.
  • Versatile: Can measure a wide range of materials, from metals to plastics.
  • Precise: Offers high accuracy and repeatability, making it reliable for quality control and safety inspections.

Limitations:

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

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

How It Works:

  1. Sound Pulse: The transducer sends an ultrasonic pulse through the material.
  2. Echo Reception: The pulse travels through the material until it hits the back surface and reflects back to the transducer.
  3. Time Measurement: The device measures the time it takes for the echo to return and calculates the thickness based on the known speed of sound in the material.
  4. Display Result: The thickness is displayed on the device in real-time.

Uses:

  • Corrosion Monitoring: Used to measure the remaining thickness of pipes, tanks, or other metal surfaces affected by corrosion or wear.
  • Quality Control: Ensures that materials like plastic, glass, or metal components meet required thickness specifications in manufacturing processes.
  • Maintenance and Inspection: Applied in fields like aerospace, shipbuilding, and oil and gas to monitor the structural integrity of components without causing damage.

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.
