PX-7 DL Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

Measurement Modes

The PX-7 is equipped with three measurement mode options (echo -

echo, interface-echo, or auto). In echo-echo mode, the gauge has the

ability to read thin metals down to .006 inches (.15 millimeters). The echo -

echo mode also allows the user to measure the thickness of metals that

have been previously coated or painted on the surface. This enables the

user to determine the thickness of the metal without having to remove the

paint. In interface-echo mode, the gauge has the ability to read plastics

and thicker materials. The PX-7's auto mode will automatically switch

between modes according to the different materials being measured.

Finally, the plas mod can be used to measure thin plastics using a special

graphite tip. The following section outlines how to switch between

measurement modes:
