25HP Plus Precision Thickness, Velocity and Time of Flight Gage

 

The Model 25HP PLUS is an advanced ultrasonic gage that makes thickness, material velocity, and time of flight measurements on materials such as composites, fiberglass, plastic, rubber, and cast metals that are difficult or impossible to measure using standard ultrasonic gages.

 

Measuring sound velocity with this gage allows monitoring of changes in material properties such as the degree of nodularity in cast metals.

 

This 25HP PLUS features a large LCD that displays both the selected type of measurement in bold numerals and the live ultrasound waveform. This unique gage features a host of standard measurement features and a sophisticated alphanumeric file-based datalogger.

MEASUREMENTS   Mode 1: Time interval between excitation pulse and first backwall echo, using contact transducers. Mode 2: Time interval between the first interface echo after the excitation pulse and the first backwall echo, using delay line or immersion transducers. Mode 3: Time interval between successive backwall echoes following the first interface echo after the excitation pulse, using delay line and immersion transducers.   Measurement Types: Thickness, Velocity and Time of Flight   Pulser Configuration: Pulse Echo, Pitch Catch and Thru-Transmission   Thickness Measurement Range: Pulse Echo and Pitch Catch Steel: 0.050 - 25.000 inches (1.27 - 635.00 mm) Plastic: 0.030 - 3.00 inches (0.75 - 75.00 mm) Thru-Transmission Steel: 0.075 - 50.000 inches (1.91 - 1270.0 mm) Plastic: 0.035 - 6.000 inches (0.89 - 152.00 mm) Thickness range depends on material, transducer, surface condition and setup selected, extended thickness ranges are possible using custom setups.   Material Velocity Range: 0.02000 - 0.55110 inch/µS (0.5080 - 13.9979 mm/µS)   Thickness resolution, keypad selectable: LOW: 0.01" 0.1 mm STANDARD: 0.001" 0.01 mm   Velocity resolution, keypad selectable: LOW: 0.001 inch/µS 0.01 mm/µS STANDARD: 0.0001 inch/µS 0.001 mm/µS   Time of filght resolution: 0.001 inch/µS 0.01 mm/µS   Measurement Rate: 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20 measurements per second   Transducer Frequency Range: 0.5 - 5.0 MHz   Min/Max Mode: Displays current thickness, minimum thickness, or maximum thickness depending on setting.   Display Hold/Blank: Display blanks after last reading or holds reading.   Zoom Mode: Expands the horizontal span of the waveform to the minimum range associated with each transducer and automatically centers the measured echoes.   Freeze Mode: Freeze and Un-Freeze live Ascan with thickness.   Rectification: RF, half wave positive or negative, and full wave   Waveform Display Range and Delay   Control: The horizontal span of the waveform is set at selected intervals with a fully adjustable delay.   Alarm Mode: Programmable Hi-Low alarm set points with audible and visual indicators.   Differential Mode: Displays thickness difference between actual measurement and preset reference value.   Application Auto-Recall: Automatically adjusts internal parameters and zero offset for a wide variety of transducers.   Stored Standard Setups: 25 stored transducer setups allow fast, easy calibration for Panametrics-NDT standard transducers.   Stored Custom Setups: Up to 35 stored custom transducer setups for best performance in special applications.
