Atec Olympus-45MG - Manual (Page 8)

Ultrasonic thickness measurements are accurate, reliable, and repeatable. Instant
readings can be achieved from one side of a material, making it unnecessary to cut
up or destroy the part.
using Single Element Transducers
Single element transducers enable you to make accurate
thickness measurements on metals, plastics, composites,
glass, ceramics, and other materials. These transducers
are available in a wide range of frequencies, diameters, and
connector styles. In order to use a single element transducer
with the 45MG, you must purchase either the Single Element
software or the high Penetration software option.
• Single Element software option can display
measurements up to 0.001 mm (0.0001 in.) for single
element transducers from 2.25 Mhz to 30 Mhz
• high Penetration software option for measurements on
attenuating materials such as fiberglass, rubber, and
thick castings
• Thickness, Velocity, or time-of-flight measurements
• Application Auto-Recall with default and custom setups
to simplify thickness measurements
Thickness Measurements on Plastics, Metals,
Composites, Glass, Rubber, Ceramics
Many cast metal parts or highly
attenuating materials can be measured
with the high Penetration software
option.
Measure depth to steel ply / cords in
rubber conveyor belts or tires.
Single Element Software Option
The Single Element software option enables you to make
very precise thickness measure ments at a resolution of up
to 0.0001 in. or 0.001 mm. Compatible with single element
Microscan transducers ranging from 2.25 Mhz to 30 Mhz.
• Most materials, from thin to thick
• Plastic bottles, tubes, pipes, sheets as thin as
0.08 mm (0.003 in.)
• Metal containers, steel coils, machined parts as thin as
0.10 mm (0.004 in.)
• Cylinder bores, turbine blades
• Glass bulbs, bottles
• Thin fiberglass, rubber, ceramics, and composite
materials
• Curved areas or containers with small radii
Single Element high Penetration
Software Option
This option allows you to use low frequency single element
transducers (as low as 0.5 Mhz) to measure thick or highly
attenuating materials such as rubber, fiberglass, castings,
and composites. Included is the Single Element option.
• Most thick or sound-attenuating materials
• Thick cast metal parts
• Thick rubber tires, belts
• Fiberglass boat hulls, storage tanks
• Composite panels
• Resolution of 0.01 mm (0.001 in.) for transducer
frequencies of 0.5 Mhz and 1.0 Mhz
