TMTECK Ultrasonic thickness gauge TM290 High Precision
1.Digital display mode 2.A scan mode ( Standard probe TM15-15Mhz)
●TM290 is a new type of handheld high-precision digital ultrasonic thickness gauge with A/B scanning. It adopts the principle of ultrasonic thickness measurement based on pulse reflection. It is suitable for the measurement of material thickness that can make ultrasonic wave propagate in it at a constant speed and get the reflection from its back. The measurement resolution is 0.001mm and the measurement range is as thin as 0.15mm (steel).
●This product can accurately measure plates and processed parts. On the other hand, it can monitor the thinning degree of pipes and pressure vessels in production equipment after corrosion during use. It can be used in petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, shipbuilding, aerospace, energy and other fields.
●This product complies with the following standards: Calibration Specification for ultrasonic thickness gauge (JJF 1126-2004).
Main Function Characteristics
● This product has A-scan mode, B-scan mode and numerical display mode;
● The measurement range is wide, and the unique "multiple echo" technology is adopted to realize the measurement of ultra-thin parts, with a minimum measurement thickness of 0.15mm (steel);
● This product can measure the thickness with high precision, and the maximum measurement resolution can reach 0.001mm; The repetition resolution can reach ± 0.002mm;
● It has the functions of penetrating coating and echo to echo measurement, which is used to measure materials with paint layer and coating on the surface;
● Multiple measurement modes: mb-e, E-E and me-e modes meet the measurement of conventional thick workpieces; Thin mode realizes the measurement of thin parts;
● Numerical modes include: conventional thickness value mode, difference / reduction rate mode and maximum value mode;
● Two gain modes: automatic gain / manual gain;
● Manual shutdown and automatic shutdown can be set, with energy-saving function;
● It supports a variety of probes, including double crystal probe and single crystal probe, and supports up to 20MHz high-frequency probe;
● It supports mass storage and can store 100000 thickness values, 500 groups of A-scan waveforms and 500 groups of B-scan waveforms at the same time;
● Large 3.5-inch color TFT-LCD display with 320x240 high definition (QVGA) resolution;
● It has a variety of calibration methods, supports one-point calibration, multi-point calibration and manual calibration modes, and can calibrate sound velocity and probe zero position at the same time; It supports v-path correction of double crystal probe.
● It supports the conversion of metric and British system; It can switch between millimeter and inch units;
● It supports Chinese and English display;
Applicable Materials
It is suitable for measuring the thickness of metals (such as steel, cast iron, aluminum, copper, etc.), plastics, ceramics, glass, resin, glass fiber and other good ultrasonic conductors.
Basic Principles
The principle of ultrasonic thickness measurement is similar to that of light wave measurement. The ultrasonic pulse emitted by the probe reaches the measured object and propagates in the object. When it reaches the material interface, it is reflected back to the probe. The thickness of the measured material is determined by accurately measuring the time of ultrasonic propagation in the material.
