Ultrasound thickness gauges are advantageous in
many ways. They can be used to measure the thickness of the wide range of
materials. Non ferrous, non-metallic and even corroded materials can be
measured with the thickness gauges that use the
ultrasonic waves for measuring the thickness. They use the transducers for
measurement purposes. The working concept of these gauges is simple and easy.
They send the ultrasound waves through the material when activated. Then you
need to start using the instrument on any side of the material. Unlike the
other testers, these need not be used on both the sides of the materials.
These ultrasound thickness gauges actually start
measuring the amount of time taken by the sound waves to reach the end of the
back of the sample material. You can find two types of transducers used, and
one of them does not require use of the liquid copulant. They are easy to use
and even the novice operators find them hassle free to use. They are available
in various models and makes and can be got from the online stores for fair
prices. You can find them working for various metals, and even material
specific devices can be chosen.
