Ultrasonic Steel Sheet Thickness Gauge

The steel plate ultrasonic thickness gauge measures thickness by emitting ultrasonic waves through a probe that penetrate the steel plate, receiving the reflected echoes, and calculating the propagation time. The thickness is then derived by combining this data with the material's sound velocity. It is used to measure the remaining thickness of steel plates, detect corrosion or wear, and is suitable for on-site inspection of metal structures such as ships, pipelines, and storage tanks.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the measurement range covers the steel plate thickness, the accuracy meets the inspection requirements, and the probe frequency is compatible with the material properties. Environmental temperature effects require calibration and compensation, while device portability and battery life should be suitable for on-site use. The probe type should match the surface shape, and data storage capabilities should facilitate recording.

Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge Selection: Technical Considerations for Probe Configuration and Measurement Modes
This article primarily introduces the technical factors to consider when selecting an ultrasonic thickness gauge. In terms of probe configuration, the frequency affects both resolution and penetration depth, while crystal size determines adaptability to curvature and surface conditions. Dual-element probes offer a smaller dead zone compared to single-element probes, and delay-line probes are suitable for thin-wall and high-temperature applications.
Selection of Wear Testing Machine: Types of Abrasion Wheels and Load Setting Methods
The test results of the wear testing machine primarily depend on the type of grinding wheel and the load setting. Grinding wheels include rubber wheels, abrasive wheels, wire wheels, and fiber wheels, among others. The selection should be matched based on the material characteristics and the actual wear scenario.
