Atec 37DL-Plus User Manual
ADvAnCeD ULtrAsonIC CorrosIon GAGe
The Panametrics-NDT™ 37DL PLUS is
an advanced nondestructive ultrasonic
thickness gage that combines powerful
measurement features with sophisticated
data acquisition and output capabilities
for applications involving pipes, tanks,
and other metal structures subject
to internal corrosion or erosion. The
37DL PLUS includes many innovative
features that simplify true metal thickness
measurements even when the exposed
surface is coated or painted. A new ThruCoat technology measures and displays
the thickness of the metal part and its
coating using a ‘single backwall echo’.
A new Oxide/Scale option measures and
displays the thickness of the steel and
the oxide/scale build-up on the inside
of boiler tubes to help predict tube life.
Accuracy of high temperature thickness
measurements can be improved by using
the new Temperature Compensation
feature that adjusts the material velocity
for changes in material temperature.
A new Average/Min mode saves the
average or minimum of several successive
thickness measurements.
Improvements
New 37DL PLUS electronics bring
improvements to many standard
measurement features. The new A-scan
display is brighter with better contrast and
visibility. Every thickness reading in a
stored B-scan can now be reviewed on
the 37DL PLUS and in the Interface
Program. The user can select to view
(Min/Max, Alarm, or A-scan flags)
flags with Grid points. The file-based
alphanumeric datalogger can use longer
file names (32 character max) and ID
numbers (20 character max). Grid files
can be expanded by adding rows or
columns or by changing the incrementing
direction.

The 37DL PLUS can be used with a vast array of dual element and
single element transducers. Its full line of D790 series dual element
transducers feature Automatic Probe Recognition to provide maximum
gage performance for each transducer. The 37DL PLUS also has the ability
to use the E110-SB EMAT transducer for no-couplant steel thickness
measurements through oxide-scaled surfaces. The M2017 and M2091
transducers are ideally suited for measuring internal oxide/scale build-up
on boiler tubes. The 37DL PLUS is also compatible with the PanametricsNDT complete line of Microscan single element direct contact, delay line,
and immersion transducers ranging in frequency from 2 to 30 MHz. As
a result, the gage can be used for non-corrosion applications involving
materials such as plastic, fiberglass, composites, rubber, castings, rubber
and glass. Application Auto-Recall automatically recalls 16 default and 10
custom Microscan transducer setups from the gage’s memory.
