Panametrics 36DL+ Ultrasonic

The Panametrics 36DL+ Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is a portable, non-destructive testing (NDT) instrument designed to measure the thickness of materials using ultrasonic waves. It’s often used in industries like manufacturing, aerospace, oil and gas, and power generation, where monitoring material integrity is critical.

Features:

1. Ultrasonic Measurement:
   • Measures the time it takes for ultrasonic waves to travel through a material, and uses this data to calculate thickness.
   • Ideal for measuring thickness in materials like metals, plastics, glass, and composites.
2. Dual Mode:
   • Offers both Single Echo and Thru-Coat modes. Single Echo mode is useful for measuring the thickness of solid materials, while Thru- Coat is useful for measuring coatings on pipes or other coated materials without needing to remove the coating.
3. Accuracy and Range:
   • The Panametrics 36DL+ is known for its high accuracy, generally ±0.002 inches or ±0.05 mm, depending on the material and measurement conditions.
   • It can typically measure thickness in a range of about 0.025 inches (0.6 mm) to 20 inches (500 mm), depending on the material.
4. Transducer Options:
   • The gauge works with a wide range of transducers, allowing it to be customized for different applications and material types. This flexibility is useful for users working with a variety of materials and geometries.
5. User-Friendly Interface:
   • The device is equipped with an easy-to-read LCD screen, which displays thickness readings in various units (inches, millimeters, etc.).
   • The 36DL+ has an intuitive, menu-driven interface that makes it simple to operate even for those with limited experience in ultrasonic testing.
6. Data Storage and Logging:
   • Many models allow for storing multiple readings, providing the ability to log data for later analysis or reporting.
7. Calibration and Setup:
   • The 36DL+ is easy to calibrate with test blocks or reference materials, ensuring that measurements are accurate and reliable. Some models also support auto-calibration for added convenience.
8. Portable and Durable:
   • Designed for field use, the 36DL+ is built to be compact, portable, and rugged enough to withstand harsh environments and heavy-duty use.
9. Applications:
   • Commonly used in industries for routine inspections of pipe walls, pressure vessels, and structural components.
   • Suitable for inspecting corrosion, erosion, wear, and other forms of material degradation.

Common Accessories:

• Transducers: The thickness gauge typically comes with a standard transducer, but specialized ones for high-temperature applications, high-pressure measurements, or certain material types can be purchased separately.
• Couplant Gel: Ultrasonic testing requires a couplant (usually a gel or liquid) to facilitate sound transmission between the transducer and the material surface.
• Calibration Blocks: Used for checking the accuracy of the device.

Benefits:

1. Non-Destructive Testing: It allows for the measurement of material thickness without damaging the object, making it ideal for routine inspections and monitoring the integrity of critical components.
2. High Accuracy: Provides precise thickness measurements with minimal error, ensuring reliable data for evaluating material condition and identifying issues like corrosion or erosion.
3. Versatile Measurement Modes: The ability to switch between Single Echo and Thru-Coat modes allows for measuring thickness of uncoated and coated materials, expanding its application range.
4. Wide Measurement Range: It can measure thickness across a broad range of materials and thicknesses, typically from 0.6 mm to 500 mm, making it suitable for a variety of industries.
5. Ease of Use: With an intuitive interface and simple calibration, the 36DL+ is user-friendly, even for those with limited ultrasonic testing experience.
6. Portability: The compact, rugged design ensures easy transport and operation in challenging field conditions, reducing downtime and enabling quick assessments.
7. Data Storage and Logging: Many models allow for the storage of measurement data, which is valuable for trend analysis, reporting, and future reference.
8. Cost-Effective: It provides a cost-effective solution for material inspections and maintenance without the need for expensive and time-consuming destructive testing methods.

Allows files to be built to suit your needs. Also straight beam flaw detection can be performed with this instrument. It has a large display with a digital read out and has A and B Scan capabilities through the wave form feature in the program. This instrument is mainly designed for the Non-Destructive Testing field but can be used for many other applications.
