5.7 Measuring thickness
USN 52R/USN 52L enable you to measure thickness
and distance in a simple way. The measured value is
directly displayed. One of the following two methods of
measurement is used, depending on the application:
Measurement to the first echo e.g. corrosion
measurement with a dual (T/R) probe
Measurement of the multi-echo sequence with a
single- element probe on a test object which has a
good surface on both sides
Preparations
Select probe
Set MEASURE (refer to previous section)
Select TOF (refer to Page 5-9)
Calibrate A-scan display
Calibrate the USN 52 R for the selected probe and
the measurement mode (refer to previous section)
Measuring the thickness
Clean the surface of the test object from dirt and any
loose particles
Apply couplant to the surface of the test object
Using slight and even pressure, couple the probe
Observe A-scan display and S=...-value until the
measured value display is stable
Maximize the echo amplitude
Read measured value
H Note:
If you are operating with MULTECHO in MEASURE,
observe Gate b in order to evaluate the correct echo.
You can store the displayed measurement values in the
Data Logger or transfer them into another instrument
via the RS232 interface.
