If the ultrasound signal is poor or erratic then the thickness value
may remain hollow – thus indicating the measurement may not be
reliable.
1.
Initial measurements will be displayed
as hollow numbers.
2.
If the measurement remains stable for
2 consecutive seconds then the
measurement will change to solid.
Stable is defined as; the thickness measurement changing no
more than + or - the Resolution setting.
Example.
The Resolution is set to 0.05mm, therefor the thickness
measurement must not change by more than +0.05mm or
-0.05mm for 2 seconds or more to be “stable”.
Measuring Small Diameter Pipe & Tubes
When measuring small diameter pipe and tubes with a twin
element probe, 75mm (3”) or under, you must ensure the face of
the probe is correctly aligned to the curvature of the pipe
otherwise measurements may be inaccurate.
The dividing line on the face of the probe should be at
right angles to the length of the pipe.
