Thickness gauges

Ultrasonic thickness gauge UT-1M

The portable ultrasonic thickness gauge UT-1M, for operative non-destructive testing of the thickness, works on the principle of ultrasounds’ propagation time measurement in the analysed material. The pulsations generator produces high frequency electrical pulses which agitate the probe. It converts the electrical signals into elastic (mechanical) vibrations – sound waves. These waves spread from the input surface to the reflective surface (bottom) and, once turned back, they are collected and converted into the electrical signal via PET. After that the device calculates the thickness of the tested object.
