Olympus 38DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
Olympus 38DL Plus is an advanced ultrasonic thickness gauge designed for measuring the thickness of materials, particularly metals and other industrial materials. It uses ultrasonic technology to send high-frequency sound waves through the material, then measures the time it takes for the waves to return after they hit the back surface. This time is used to calculate the thickness of the material.
Features:
- High Precision: The device offers high accuracy and reliability for thickness measurements, typically in the range of 0.04 mm to 635 mm (0.0015 inches to 25 inches), depending on the material and the ultrasonic properties.
- Multiple Calibration Options: The 38DL Plus allows for single or multiple-point calibration, ensuring accurate measurements across a range of materials, including steel, aluminum, plastic, and more.
- Wide Measurement Range: It can measure a variety of materials with varying thicknesses, making it versatile for different industries, including manufacturing, construction, and quality control.
- User-Friendly Interface: The device typically features a large display, customizable settings, and an intuitive interface that allows easy navigation.
- Data Storage: It can store a large number of readings (thousands of measurements) and often allows the data to be transferred to a computer for analysis or reporting.
- Temperature Compensation: The instrument adjusts for temperature variations, which is critical when working in environments with fluctuating temperatures.
- Corrosion Monitoring: It’s ideal for measuring the remaining thickness of materials that may be corroding or subject to wear over time.
- Durability: The Olympus 38DL Plus is often built to withstand harsh environments and rugged conditions, including water and dust resistance.
- Probes Compatibility: It is compatible with a range of ultrasonic probes that are tailored for different materials and measurement requirements.
Applications:
- Pipe Wall Thickness Measurement: Commonly used in industries like oil and gas for assessing pipe integrity.
- Corrosion Monitoring: Used to assess corrosion in structural steel, tanks, and pressure vessels.
- Quality Control: Ensures material thickness meets manufacturing specifications in various industries.
- Preventive Maintenance: Used for detecting wear or thinning materials in machinery.
