The Keypad This key is used to turn the MX-3 on and off. When the tool is turned ON, it will first perform a brief display test by illuminating all of the segments in the display. After one second, the tool will display the internal software version number.
(see page 11). This key has two functions: 1. When the MX-3 is in calibration mode, this key is used to decrease numeric val- ues on the display. An auto-repeat function is built in, so that when the key is held down, numeric values will decrement at an increasing rate.
When the IN symbol is on, the MX-3 is displaying a thickness in inches. The maximum thickness that can be displayed is 1999.9 mm or 19.999 inches. When the M symbol is on, in conjunction with the /s symbol, the MX-3 is displaying a sound-velocity value in “meter-per-second“.
Probe Zero Setting the Zero Point of the MX-3 is important for the same reason that setting the zero on a mechanical micrometer is important. If the tool is not „zeroed“ correctly, all of the measurements the tool makes will be in error by some fixed number.
Check that the wearface of the transducer is clean and free of any debris. 3. The metal probe-disc is on the top end of the MX-3. Apply a single droplet of ul- trasonic couplant to the face of this disc.
Scan Mode While the MX-3 excels at making single point measurements, it is sometimes desirable to examine a larger region, searching for the thinnest point. MX-3 includes a fea- ture, called SCAN Mode, which allows it to do just that.
As ultrasound travels through any material, it is partly absorbed. If the material through which it travels has any grain structure, the sound waves will also experience scattering. Both of these effects reduce the strength of the waves, and thus, the MX-3‘s ability to de- tect the returning echo.
Size 63.5x114.3x31.5 mm Weight 295 g MX-3 : 5 years Warranty Transducer : 3 months Application Notes Measuring Pipe And Tubing When measuring a piece of pipe to determine the thickness of the pipe wall, orientation of the transducers is important.
This will allow the MX-3 to correctly calculate the velocity of sound through the hot material. When performing measurements on hot surfaces, it may also be necessary to use a spe- cially constructed high-temperature transducer. These transducers are built using materials which can withstand high temperatures. Even so, it is recommended that the probe be left in contact with the surface for as short time as needed to acquire a stable measurement.
The information is supplied for the convenience of the user and the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for inaccuracies. The actual velocity of the above material is dependent upon the exact composition, tem- perature and processing of each material. Operation MX-3 12 / 12 Rev:00 Manual...
