    TDS-110 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge 5. Measuring technology 5.1 Cleaning surface Before measuring, please clean any dust, dirt and rust on the object, and remove any cover such as paint, etc. on it. 5.2 Improving requirement on roughness Too rough surface will cause error in measurement. Before measuring, please smooth the surface of object by grinding, polishing or filing, etc.

    TDS-110 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge that of the object, and the transmitting direction of sound wave in it should also be same as that for the object. Under certain circumstances, look up the speed-of-sound table for given materials can replace reference test pieces. But this is approximately to substitute some test pieces.
  • Page 17: Measuring Casting

    TDS-110 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge 5.13 Measuring casting It has specialty for measuring casting. The crystal particles for castings are coarse, the structures are not dense enough, plus that they are in gross state, which makes difficulty in measuring their thickness.
  • Page 18: Rust, Corrosion And Pit

    TDS-110 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge measured value is larger than the actual thickness. To prevent these kinds of errors, please repeat the measurement to check the results. 6.2 Rust, Corrosion and Pit The rust and pit on the other surface of the object will cause irregular change in readouts.
