Details
The Reed Instruments TM-8811-NIST Digital Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is a precision measuring tool built for technicians and inspectors who need fast, accurate material thickness readings. Supplied with an ISO certificate, this thickness gauge uses ultrasonic sound velocity to measure a wide range of materials without cutting or damaging the surface being tested.
Key Features:
- Measuring Range: 0.05" to 7.9" (1.5 mm to 200 mm) in #45 steel
- Velocity Range: 500 to 9000 m/s
- Accuracy: Exclusive micro-computer LSI circuit and crystal time base for high-precision readings
- Digital Display: Clear readout eliminates guesswork and reduces reading errors
- Broad Band Receiving Sensitivity: Reads probes across different frequencies
- Auto Calibration: Automatic material calibration with selectable metric or imperial units
- Material Versatility: Measures steel, cast iron, aluminum, red copper, zinc, quartz glass, polyethylene, PVC, gray cast iron, and nodular cast iron
- Sound Velocity Display: View material sound velocity at the touch of a button
- Certification: Includes ISO calibration certificate
Ideal For:
- Metal fabrication and quality control inspection
- Corrosion and wall-thickness monitoring on pipes and tanks
- Manufacturing plants requiring calibrated, non-destructive testing equipment
