CALIBRATING THE THICKNESS GAUGE

If you purchased the 1011TS thickness transducer separately then calibrate the transducer before
using it to measure a pipe wall. The 1011TS Transducer Holder includes two built-in steel calibration
blocks. One is 0.100" thick and the other is 0.500" thick (see below). You will use these blocks in
conjunction with the Thickness Gauge Calibration menu to calibrate your transducer.
