Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-1M

Novotest Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is designed for rapid non-destructive measuring of the thickness of products made of various metals, alloys and other non-metallic materials such as glass, composite, and plastic.

Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-1M is designed for rapid non-destructive measurement of thickness for:

• • Various products made of metals, alloys and other materials.
• • Thickness of non-metallic materials such as glass, plastic and composite.
• • Measuring thickness at the walls of the tanks, pipes, casing parts, sheets, overhead, transportation, and other structures.
• • Monitoring thickness of the products in the production line.

Working principle of Ultrasonic method
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-1M operates on the principle of measuring the propagation time of ultrasound in the product. The pulse generator produces a high frequency electrical pulses that excite the piezoelectric transducer (Probe). At the same time, the transducer converts electrical signals into the elastic (mechanical) vibrations – ultrasonic waves. These waves propagate from the surface into the material and reflected from the bottom surface of the tested sample and returns to the transducer. The instrument calculates the thickness based on the velocity of propagation of the ultrasonic waves in the tested sample. The measurement will take about 1 second and the measured thickness value will be displayed on the device's display.

There is special version ultrasonic thickness gauge available, which is model NOVOTEST UT-1M-IP. It is specially designed for measuring thickness of various materials and products for single-way access in more difficult climatic situations such as in high humidity or in the rain, and also in dusty rooms, where the use of a conventional ultrasonic thickness gauge is not possible.

Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-1M-ST is another special version of the thickness gauge which is housed in a metal enclosure. It is designed for use for measuring in extreme working conditions where there is high chance of accidental dropping of the device which could cause damage to the device or unit.
