  • Page 2: General Information Of The Gauge

    General Information of the Gauge 1.1 Construction of the Gauge PM-5 series High precision ultrasonic thickness gauge made by our factory according to ultrasonic measuring principle, take advantage of single delay probe, transmit the ultrasonic wave from one side of the measured work-piece to the internal of the material, real-time measure the digitized thickness, without cutting the object.

Keyboard Functions for observing the underside outline of the piece. 6.Numerical view, display thickness values with big digit. There are 9 keys on the keyboard totally, including 3 virtual function 7.Thickness alarm: programmable Hi-Low alarm set point with dynamic change thickness value’s color.
  • Page 5: Measuring Thickness

    3. Measuring Thickness 3.1 Instrument Calibration Before using PM-5 series, set the sound velocity of the material to be measured, without calibrating the instrument and probe, the thickness of the work-piece can be measured directly.When the sound velocity of the material to be measured is unknown, calibration can be selected to find out the sound velocity of the material to be measured, which is very important.The calibration function is divided into two types:...

PROBE SETUP: D15X (means single crystal delay probe) Press MODE to enter the specification configuration interface, which MEASURING MODE: including many specification adjusting options like FILE NUMBER, The Thickness Gauge has 4 measurement modes:...
  • Page 7: Normal Mode

    3.3 Normal Mode MAXIMUM OF B SCAN: Set the maximum thickness of the B scan. PM-5 series have three measuring interface: normal mode, A-scan RECTIFICATION MODE: RF+ and half +. RF+ describes the complete interface, B-scan interface. And there are three display modes of normal echo waveform;...

  • Page 9 Attention: when the probe and the object are not complete coupled, the letters in the various interfaces are in GREEN, while if they coupled well, in WHITE color and when the either the upper or lower limited are exceed, the letters are displayed in RED color. In the A-scan interface, press the bottom right button NEXT highlight the value to be adjusted.
  • Page 10 3.5 Real Class Analysis of A-SCAN 1. When measuring the thickness, it’s possible that that over small gains prevent the precise results. As showed in the following figure, the thickness of the testing object is about 5mm, but as for the over small gain, the measuring result is 10.77mm as the first echo has not broken the gate and the gate locates the second echo automatically.

MATERIAL INFLUENCE In many materials like nonmetal or plastic, the change of velocity is obvious, thus, the accuracy of measuring is influenced. If the material of the object is not isotropic, the velocity varies in different directions.
