Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

[@voyager3355]

If there is no bloody liquid inside the pack itself, and instructions are not talking about using a liquid I was about to start up the refund process from Amazon... And I have given a chance to see your video. It actually works! Thank you very much for your effort to make this video and sharing with us. Regards!

[@bigbobtong]

HOLD IT ....... YOU DON'T know how this machine works ????? YOU ARE DOING IT ALL WRONG !!! You forgot to change the Velocity setting when you measure different materials that is why your Copper pipe measured thicker then the steel pipe in the middle. !!!!!

[@nemo1877]

Bob, forgive them...They are dealers not scientists. :)

[@pikepoke]

lame for sure!!!! duh.

[@elshekho2780]

How to measure copper pipe by the same velocity of steel? You shall be change velocity first.

[@عليالكناني-س1س]

What material is used with the ultrasonic thickness gauge?

[@bigbobtong]

@@عليالكناني-س1س Almost any material by setting the Velocity for that material, even the thickness of the paint on your car to find out if they paint it 1 coat or 2 coats.

[@neerajdwivedi6301]

You have to set velocity for different metals.

[@skysurferuk]

Yup.

[@willzhang5040]

the direction of probe is also important when measuring tube thickness to make sure sonic wave is traveling through minimum distance

[@عليالكناني-س1س]

What material is used with the ultrasonic thickness gauge?

[@david-tracy]

​@@عليالكناني-س1س are u asking what material was used during the calibration process?

[@skysurferuk]

1:37. No. The S.O.P. for U/S testing is to dab the job, not the transducer. It (in this case) doesn't matter, but get into good habits... Why are you using a separate calibration block, when there's one right there, built-into the meter? No mention of different material velocities? I was wondering if you can enter a velocity manually?

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

I don't see it on your website!

[@iseengineeringinc.7838]

How do you (or can you) change it from reading mm to inches?

[@denpepp4342]

Will it measure wood thicknedd?

[@sen-ow7ub]

Really good class

[@jamesburningham3254]

5690 m/s is the speed of sound for the 304 stainless steel calibration block. Apparently I am not the only person who has noticed this error. It is amazing that it has not been responded to. Perhaps this video was produced quickly to promote the sale of the device with no technical understanding. Also, There is a 4 mm calibration block on the device, you don't need to use a separate one. It is sad, I thought I did not understand the device at all yet the instructional video understands much less.

[@haraprasadrath3794]

Exactly

[@david-tracy]

I think the 4mm calibration block that's built onto the device is steel. If you wanted to measure a different type of metal I believe you'd want to calibrate the gauge w/ w/e metal it is that u want to measure. Also, 5690m/s might only be true for 304 stainless steel when stainless steel is at a particular temperature.

[@MosquitoRanch]

I am looking for an ultrasonic thickness gauge. I need one that will work on steel pipe & tubing. I will never need to measure anything over 1 inch thickness. SOMETIMES, I will be dealing with material that has already been painted. I prefer a meter that shows imperial instead of metric, although I can covert it afterwards if necessary but it would be easier if it was imperial to start with.

[@david-tracy]

It can do what you're looking for except for the 'paint' part... I'm still trying to find out whether it can measure the thickness of painted steel myself.... Suppose it couldn't measure painted steel accurately though. I wonder what would instead get measured if you tried. If it measured everything except the paint, then I would think that we would be able to use that value that the ultrasonic thickness gauge returned to us & add it to w/e value would be returned to us from the use of a "paint thickness checker". .... or maybe there's just 1 good gauge that can measure the steel w/ the paint haha

[@Mukund472]

Can it be used to measure thickness of wood?

[@david-tracy]

user manual didn't mention wood. it only mentioned: "metals, glass, plastic, ceramic, etc"

[@beachboardfan9544]

What if the surface you're trying to measure is concave like from the inside diameter of a pipe?

[@skysurferuk]

Then you've got fun.

[@azizh1453]

All you did worng ! you shold have changed the velocity for each metal this is why your copper pipe measured thicker than the other pipes .

[@odaialhussini6921]

You don't know how to use it, you should change the velocity to measure different materials

[@rahulkarmakar1560]

Can I use this device for other metal

[@david-tracy]

yes

[@theworld7583]

Anyone please tell... . Why we use gel or grease while measuring thickness ????

[@david-tracy]

the gel / grease is a coupling agent that helps couple the gauge's transducer to w/e material its measuring the thickness of. It helps transmit the ultrasonic wave between/through the transducer & material that's being measured.

[@david-tracy]

that's my understanding of it

[@mahamadshareef2267]

can we measure ice thickness with this

[@Tv-ff9dr]

can i use it to measure thickness of bone?

[@david-tracy]

nice question... did u ever find out what actually could measure a bone's density?

[@fernandozegarracastaneda4104]

Can we measure rubber lined steel plate?

[@david-tracy]

did u find out?

[@gabrielbsalvatori]

can this gauge measure wall thickness in curves, like the inner side of the large tube? like if I had to measure from inside out of the tube. I have very unregular parts, with small radius but I still have to measure the thickness on these radius. can it measure the thickness in the radius of a bended steel sheet?

[@david-tracy]

depends on the curvature radius of the metal (it must be at least 10mm... but I think that might only pertain to steel). also, the wall's thickness must be at least 3mm (also not sure if that only applies to steel).

[@90210sky]

@@david-tracy im about to order one, in the video he measures near 1mm dims, but you are mentioning the minimum is 3mm? could you please confirm?

[@nazarian3]

what is the gel?

[@OpenGL4ever]

Probably glycerin.

[@hammerheaddon]

silicon gel.. to minimise wave reflaction.

[@satendrapatel6441]

Nice video sir What is the cost of this machine

[@sagarpathare6244]

Is it possible in plasic parts

[@david-tracy]

yes

[@ledapocchi2589]

Can this be used to measure wood thickness?

[@niranjana7786]

No you can't...

[@xaviersape]

Hi , i would like to know if the pipe is already painted, is that will affect the measuring?

[@hammerheaddon]

you will get the measurement of paint.

[@عليالكناني-س1س]

What material is used with the ultrasonic thickness gauge?

[@david-tracy]

@@hammerheaddon are u sure?

[@ticleve2]

So this would work well for measuring the metal thickness across the face of a titanium golf driver or would titanium require a different instrument?

[@david-tracy]

I would think so since titanium's sound velocity is within the range of the meter. It would also depend on how thick the titanium is.The manual says it can measure steel that is as thin as 1.2mm and as thick as 225mm, but that's for steel... and the manual I have doesn't mention a range for anything other than steel unfortunately.

[@darkrose7639]

Does anyone knows if it works with silver and Gold?

[@david-tracy]

It should

[@dog-ut8ek]

Hello i want to know if the pipe have paint still calibre the pipe. Thanks

[@david-tracy]

I'm wondering too...

[@عليالكناني-س1س]

What material is used with the ultrasonic thickness gauge?

[@skysurferuk]

No mention, is there? A really bad demo.

[@ErwinMeulman]

Why didn't you check with a caliper ?

[@hammerheaddon]

some pipe is 6m long.. or more..

[@bigbobtong]

Only if you have an !!!!???

[@ombianrafa]

What kind of gel ? Cz i buy some others model, but i can find the gel in the package.thanks

[@OpenGL4ever]

Glycerin should do the job.

[@checkthisout9666]

What do you have that's non-contact?

[@medi8721]

wrong procedure for thickness. you did not change the velocity for copper tube

[@ressboy19]

What kind of gel it is?

[@OpenGL4ever]

Probably glycerin.

[@BELLIedits1]

Can you measure for the glass thickness?

[@rayyiu4153]

Yes ,it can ,more information ,pls contact us . we are coating thickness gauge and ultrasonic thickness gauge manufacturer from China

[@adalovelace95]

Dude, didn't you wonder what the 5690 on the display stands for? Read the manual before u make a video!

[@HaritsAdipramana]

👍👍...keep supporting 😊🙏🙏

[@replicant357]

That was one of the best / worst BS efforts of any tools accuracy 🤣 . Nice slight adjustment on pressure to gain the desired measurements. 👌🏼🤣

[@nspctor7729]

Erosion!!!!!? That's one smart tool...lol EROSION...!

[@WoodenSocks]

There are many issues with the video but I don't see this as one of them. Erosion = wall thinning due to abrasion which can be caused by many things including steam and/or water. A UT thickness gauge (when used properly and not as demoed in this video) should be able to detect thinning caused by such a thinning mechanism (by way of comparison with expected wall thickness). It would be less able to measure thinning from corrosion, as the corrosion layers would confuse the signal.

[@guanjosselyn884]

hello there, we make coating thickness meter

[@WaschyNumber1]

Calipers are better and cheaper.
