Ultrasonic Thickness Meter – IC-TGR-1000

Please Note: Couplant gel required for use, not included, available for separate purchaseThe Starr Instruments TGR-1000 is an ultrasonic thickness gauge that is designed sturdy with a metal body case and suits the punishing conditions of workshops and sites for users requiring to measure the thickness of materials such as metals, plastics, glass and most types of rubber.The main use of a thickness gauge is for non destructive testing of wall thicknesses. An example is checking the thickness of a pipe. By using ultrasonic technique, the pipe can be tested without cutting it. In areas where the thickness is less than the average or less than expected it can be a sign of corrosion and thereby identify the need for repair work. The same applies to walls of tanks and vessels.The way an ultrasonic thickness gauge works is that a sound wave signal (pulse) is sent from the probe transducer through the surface which bounces off the back wall of the object being measured. The gauge measures the time it takes to receive back the signal (echo), and based on the material velocity of the object, (which is how fast sound waves travel through a material), it then works out the distance travelled. The distance travelled divided by two is the thickness.2 Year Warranty (1 Year Manufacturer Warranty + Bonus 1 Year Instrument Choice Warranty)
Features: – 11 Pre-stored sound velocities (steel, aluminium, cast iron, PVC etc)- Automatic power off- Aluminium alloy caseProbe options: A 5MHz 8mm right angle probe is supplied as standard and is suitable for the majority of testing purposes. Other probes that can be used with the TGR-1000 includes:
– Mini probe – The mini probe is used for curved surfaces with at least a 15mm diameter which allows for better coupling with the surface being tested. This probe is also suitable for testing thinner materials.- 2MHz probe – The 2MHz probe is low frequency and used for getting results on thicker samples and high attenuating material such as rubber and plastics.- High temperature probe – The High temperature probe fitted with PTFE grip housing, allows for use of the probe on hot surfaces up to 300C.
