Overview
An Ultrasonic Thickness Meter Kit is a non-destructive testing tool designed to measure the thickness of materials from one side using high-frequency sound waves. These kits typically offer a wide measurement range—from as thin as 0.12 mm to over 300 mm—depending on the model and material type. They provide high accuracy and resolution, often down to 0.001 mm, with error margins as low as ±(0.5–1% H + 0.05 mm). Advanced models feature multiple echo or coating modes, enabling measurements through paint or coatings without needing to strip the surface. Users can calibrate the device for various materials using adjustable sound velocity settings, with support for one- or two-point calibration. A backlit digital display ensures clear visibility in all lighting conditions and may include functions like minimum, maximum, and average thickness tracking. Many models also include data logging capabilities, allowing users to store and export readings via USB or RS-232 interfaces. These kits are built with rugged, field-ready housings—often water- and dust-resistant (e.g., IP65-rated)—and typically offer long battery life. Accessories such as couplant gel, probes, calibration blocks, carrying cases, and spare membranes are commonly included. Ultrasonic thickness meters are widely used across industries to assess pipelines, tanks, structural steel, composites, plastics, glass, and ceramics.
