DMS Go+ Edition 4 (05/2014) 10-3
Wall thickness measurement on hot test objects
Equipped with the probe DA 305 for high-temperature 
applications, the DMS
 Go+ can be used for wall thick-
ness measurements on materials with a surface tem-
perature of max. 600 °C. A coupling paste especially 
developed for such applications is likewise required. It is 
recommended to proceed as follows:
– Calibrate the DMS Go+ according to the instructions 
given in this manual.
– Clean the test surface carefully by means of a wire 
brush and remove any possibly existing oxide layers.
– Knead the coupling paste ZGM for high temperatures 
in the tube before using it. After that, apply one drop 
of ZGM (diameter approx. 5 mm) to the contact face 
of the probe, not to the test object.
– Couple the probe carefully to the test surface.
