    DC-3000C SERIES ULTRASONIC THICKNESS GAUGE 7. Preparation before measurement 【7.1】Preparation of the instrument For the newly purchased instrument, please check the instrument and its accessory according to the “3 standard delivery”. If you find it is not the same as the table listed, please contact the manufacture in time. If the instrument is damaged, please do not use it and contact the manufacture as soon as possible.
  • Page 8: Treatment Of The Measured Surface

    DC-3000C SERIES ULTRASONIC THICKNESS GAUGE Used in the measurement of thin wall thickness and small D7004 curvature surface. Used in the measurement of coarse particles such as cast D2012 iron. 【7.3】Treatment of the measured surface When the surface to be measured is too rough or rusty heavily, please perform the treatment according to the following methods: 1.Clean the measured surface by grinding, polishing or filing, etc.

    DC-3000C SERIES ULTRASONIC THICKNESS GAUGE wall echoes. Therefore, a good usage of the E-E option is for measuring through coatings (Max. 2mm) to measure only the true metal thickness. 【8.5】Setting 8.5.1 Velocity rate Sound velocity played an important role in measurement. Different material is of different sound velocity.
