Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

Will this ultrasonic thickness gauge measure steel with heavy scale rust attached inside?

Hello Michael, thank you for your question. The ultrasonic thickness gauge will certainly measure the thickness of metal, however, after consulting with the manufacturer there could be some accuracy flaws. The ultrasonic thickness gauge's accuracy can be obscured by the heavy scale rust on the inside of the steel.

hi, can this item take a thickness measurement on soft & hard urethane products?

Can this product measure the remaining wall thickness of a rubber lined (hot vulcanised) steel pipe by measuring from the outside of the pipe only. the steel wall thickness is 25mm and the Rubber thickness (natural rubber) is 20mm.

Hello Roger, thank you for your question. The ultrasonic thickness gauge will only measure the layer of material closest to the sensor of the gauge. Another issue you will have is that you would need to change the settings to get accurate readings on different materials. The setting to measure steel is different than to measure rubber. The manual provided with the ultrasonic thickness gauge will explain how to set the gauge.

How does this unit perform when measuring the thickness of layered materials? We need to measure the thickness of concrete lined ductile iron pipe. Would this give us the total thickness(metal pipe + concrete lining) or just the thickness of the metal? Does material in the pipe affect the measurement?

Hello Josh, thank you for your question. No our ultrasonic thickness gauges will not be able to measure the thickness of concrete. If what you are measuring is concrete lined then this gauge is not suitable for your application.

Does it work with most materials, aluminum, titanium and steel tubings with same resolution, 0.01mm? Can it be used on bent tubing to determine thinning during bending?

Hello Mohammad, thank you for your question. Yes this ultrasonic thickness gauge will work with different type of metals. You would just need to change the velocity of the sound wave on the gauge to the respected metal you are measuring. Yes the gauge should be able to help you determine and thinning of the tube caused by bending or corrosion.

We are looking to measure the thickness of the remaining wall steel for corroded beams with a paint coating - we are not looking to get an accurate measurement - to the nearest 1mm will suffice. Is this device suitable for that application and if not do you sell a device that would be?

Hi Matt, thank you for your question. We do not recommend using this ultrasonic thickness gauge to measure metals with substantial corrosion because the corrosion could cause the gauge to give false readings. The maximum measuring range for this item is 300MM or 11.8 in. If you have a specific questions about the D1140772, call our sales team at 1-888-667-5776 or email at sales@deelat.com for assistance.
