The Phase II UTG-1500 is a handheld microprocessor-controlled
ultrasonic thickness gauge specifically designed for measuring the thickness of
metallic and non-metallic materials such as aluminum, titanium, plastics,
ceramics, glass, and any other good ultrasonic wave conductor as long as it has
a parallel top and bottom surfaces. With uses in many areas of industry, the
UTG-1500 ultrasonic thickness gauge can perform precise thickness measurements
on various types of raw materials, component parts, and assembled machinery. It
can also be used to monitor all types of pipes and pressure vessels for loss of
thickness due to corrosion or erosion. The use of Ultrasonic
non-destructive testing (NDT) to check material properties such as thickness
measurement, is now extensively used in all facets of the industry. The ability
to gauge thickness measurement without requiring access to both sides of the
test piece offers this technology a multitude of possible applications. Metals,
plastics, ceramics, glass, and other materials can easily be measured by
portable ultrasonic thickness gauges with a common accuracy of 0.001
inches. It measures the thickness of a part by measuring the time sound
travels from the transducer through the material to the back end of a part and then
measures the time of reflection back to the transducer. The gauge then
calculates the thickness based on the velocity of sound through the material
being tested.
