New Wall Thickness Gauges Launched
Manchester UK based Elcometer Instruments Ltd has launched two new precision ultrasonic wall thickness gauges which are designed to provide accurate thickness measurements on thin materials and are capable of measuring substrate thickness without removing paint or other coatings from the surface to be measured.
The Elcometer 207 and Elcometer 207DL use the latest ultrasonic transducer design, the Single Element Delay Trip Transducer. This enables the gauges to measure thin materials in ‘echo to echo’ mode but switches automatically to ‘interface echo’ mode when measuring thicker materials and plastics.
With a range on steel from 0.15 to 25.0 mm, these gauges have two calibration adjustment methods, velocity of sound setting for the material or calibration to a known thickness of material. Both gauges have the display backlight feature.
The Elcometer 207 has data output capability for readings as they are taken and the Elcometer 207DL has memory for 1,000 readings in up to 10 batches , with a copy of the Elcometer software package EDTS+ Excel Link supplied free of charge with the gauge kit.
Each gauge is supplied with a 15 mhz, 6 mm ‘microdot’ right angle transducer with 6mm and 12 mm delay tips, together with a suitable couplant. An AA alkaline or 1.2V NiCad battery powers the gauges.
The accuracy of the thickness measurement, depending on conditions and materials being measured, is ±0.002mm.
