38DL PLUS Ultrasonic Thickness Gage:
Advanced Features, Simple Operation, Rugged, Reliable
The 38DL PLUS is an innovative instrument that signals a new era
in ultrasonic thickness gaging. Ideally suited for almost every ultrasonic thickness application, this handheld thickness gage is fully
compatible with a full line of dual and single element transducers.
The versatile 38DL PLUS can be used in applications ranging from
wall thinning measurements of internally corroded pipes with dual
element probes to very precise thickness measurements of thin or
multilayer materials with single element transducers.
The 38DL PLUS comes standard with many powerful but easyto-use measurement features and a host of application-specific
software options. Its sealed case is designed to meet IP67 requirements to withstand the rigors of very wet or dusty environments.
The color transflective VGA display provides superior readability
from bright sunlight to complete darkness. It features a simple,
ergonomic keypad that can be operated with the left or right hand
for easy access to all functions.
