Dakota Ultrasonics MMX-6 - Manual (Page 5)

MMX-6 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
1
INTRODUCTION
The Dakota Ultrasonics model MMX-6 is a multi-mode Ultrasonic
thickness gauge. Based on the same operating principles as SONAR, the
MMX-6 is capable of measuring the thickness of various materials with
accuracy as high as
±
0.001 inches, or
±
0.01 millimeters. The principle
advantage of ultrasonic measurement over traditional methods is that
ultrasonic measurements can be performed with access to only one side of
the material being measured. The multi-mode feature of the MMX-6 allows
the user to toggle between pulse-echo mode (flaw and pit detection), and
echo-echo mode (eliminate paint or coating thickness).
This manual is presented in three sections. The first section covers
operation of the MMX-6, and explains the keypad controls and display.
The second section provides guidelines in selecting a transducer for a
specific application. The last section provides application notes and a table
of sound velocity values for various materials.
