1 INTRODUCTION
The FD700 series are a combined corrosion gauge and flaw detector that measures with extreme
versatility.
•
When the GAUGE function is set to THICKNESS GAUGE, the FD700 series becomes a
Corrosion Gauge which has the ability to measure coatings and material thickness
simultaneously while maintaining the ability to locate pits, flaws and defects in the material.
Based on the same operating principles as SONAR, the FD700 series
measuring the thickness of various materials with accuracy as high as 0.01 millimetres (0.001
inches).
•
When the GAUGE function is set to FLAW DETECTOR, the gauges become a Flaw Detector
which have the ability to detect the size and position of flaws and to differentiate between flaw
types in various materials and welded joints.
The principal advantage of ultrasonic thickness measurement over traditional methods is that
ultrasonic measurements can be performed with access to only one side of the material being
measured.
The gauges include a data-logging (memory) facility which allows readings and waveforms to be
stored in batches before being downloaded to a computer.
