It’s important to note that these velocities will not always be an exact representation of the material being tested.
  • Page 13 PR-8V High Performance Thickness Gauge 2.3 Measure The PR-8V is now ready to measure. There are two different measurement view options, each with a specific purpose – Digits & B-Scan. The steps below outline how to toggle between the different view mode options: Selecting the Measurement View Option 1) Press the MENU key once to activate the menu items tab.

Use the following steps to adjust these settings directly from the measurement screen as follows: Adjusting the Start (B-ST) & Depth (B-DEP) Press the MEAS key once to activate the measure menu items. Press the MEAS key multiple times to move right and the ESC key multiple times to move left, until the either the B-ST or B-DEP cell is highlighted.
  • Page 15 PR-8V makes 4 measurements a second. In scan mode, the PR-8V makes 32 measurements a second. When the PR-8V is idle, only the left vertical bar and the underline will be displayed. However, when the PR-8V is making a measurement, five or six of the bars should be displayed on the repeatability indicator.

  • Page 16: Chapter Three Keyboard, Menu, & Connector Reference

    CHAPTER THREE KEYBOARD, MENU, & CONNECTOR REFERENCE 3.1 Menu Key (Operation & Sub Menus ) The Menu key activates the primary menu structure containing 9 menu tab groups. These tab groups then contain sub menu items, or functions. The sub menu items have been organized in tab groups according to how closely they are related to the individual tab group names.
  • Page 17 Zero: The PR-8V is zeroed in much the same way that a mechanical micrometer is zeroed. If the PR-8V is not zeroed correctly, all of the measurements made using the PR-8V may be in error by some fixed value. Refer to the section on page 32, for an explanation of this important procedure.
  • Page 18 Units: Toggle between English or Metric units. The readout will change from inches to millimeters. Velocity: Function to calibrate the PR-8V by setting the velocity to a known material velocity. Refer to page 34 for further info. One Point: Performs a single point calibration. This option allows the user to automatically calculate the velocity by entering a known sample thickness.

  • Page 25: Chapter Four Principals Of Ultrasonic Measurement

    CHAPTER FOUR PRINCIPALS OF ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT 4.1 Time versus thickness relationship Ultrasonic thickness measurements depend on measuring the length of time it takes for sound to travel through the material being tested. The ratio of the thickness versus the time is known as the sound velocity. In order to make accurate measurements, a sound velocity must be determined and entered into the instrument.
  • Page 26 Pulse-echo mode measures from the initial pulse (sometimes referred to as an artificial zero) to the first echo (reflection). In this mode, the transducer is placed on a reference disk, located on top of the PR-8V, and a key is pressed to establish a zero point for the particular transducer.
  • Page 27 PR-8V High Performance Thickness Gauge packaged in a single housing but acoustically isolated from each other with a sound barrier. This allows the transducer the ability to achieve very high sensitivity for detecting small defects. Also, the surface of the test material does not have to be as flat in order to obtain good measurements.
  • Page 28 The repetition rate is how often the PR-8V generates a burst of ultrasound. The PR-8V has a fixed repetition rate of 1 kHz, or 1000 times per second. The PR- 8V updates the display 4 times per second in regular measurement mode and 32 times a second in hi speed scan mode.

  • Page 29: Chapter Five Selecting The Measurement Mode

    SELECTING THE MEASUREMENT MODE 5.1 The setup library The PR-8V contains 64 user configurable preset locations to store custom setups for easy recall. These setups can be optimized for the user’s specific application needs and can also be stored on a PC and transferred bi-directionally using Dakota’s PC interface software included with the instrument.
