Page 4: Overview
1 Overview The model MT600 is a multi-mode ultrasonic thickness gauge. Based on the same operating principles as SONAR, the instrument is capable of measuring the thickness of various materials with accuracy as high as 0.1/0.01 millimeters. The multi-mode feature of the gauge allows the user to toggle between pulse-echo mode (flaw and pit detection), and echo-echo mode (eliminate paint or coating thickness). -

ponpe.com sale@ponpe.com that works well for a given job. The transducer is the “business end” of the instrument. It transmits and receives ultrasonic sound waves that the instrument uses to calculate the thickness of the material being measured. The transducer connects to the instrument via the attached cable, and two coaxial connectors. When using transducers, the orientation of the dual coaxial connectors is not critical: either plug may be fitted to either socket in the instrument. -

Press the transducer against the probe disc, making sure that the transducer sits flat against the surface. - Page 13 ponpe.com sale@ponpe.com 5.4.2 Calibration to a known thickness Note: This procedure requires a sample piece of the specific material to be measured, the exact thickness of which is known, e.g. from having been measured by some other means. Perform a Probe-Zero on the standard 4.00 mm disc. Apply couplant to the sample piece.

Page 24: Appendix B Applications Notes
sale@ponpe.com Appendix B Applications Notes Measuring pipe and tube When measuring a piece of pipe to determine the thickness of the pipe wall, orientation of the transducers is important. If the diameter of the pipe is larger than approximately 4 inches, measurements should be made with the transducer oriented so that the gap in the wearface is perpendicular (at right angle) to the long axis of the pipe. - Page 25 sale@ponpe.com ponpe.com Measuring through paint & coatings Measuring through paints and coatings are also unique, in that the velocity of the paint/ coating will be significantly different form the actual material being measured. A perfect example of this would be a mild steel pipe with approximately 0.6mm of coating on the surface. Where the velocity of the pipe is 5920m/s, and the velocity of the paint is 2300m/s.
