1. GENERAL

1.1) APPLICATIONS

The Cole-Parmer Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge, Model# UTG-1000 is designed for measuring the
thickness of metals, plastics, ceramics, glass and other ultrasonic wave conducting materials with
two parallel surfaces (top & bottom).

The UTG-1000 can be used in industrial applications to perform precise measurements on various
kinds of materials, parts and components. Additionally, it can be used to monitor various kinds of
pipes and pressure vessels for decreasing thickness due to corrosion and/or erosion.

(

The basic principle of the ultrasonic wave in a thickness measurement is similar to that of an
optical wave. The ultrasonic wave pulses transmitted by the probe reach the object to be measured
and circulate through the object. When they reach the interfaces, they are reflected back. The
thickness of the object is determined by precisely measuring the time the ultrasonic wave travels in
the object.
