PRECISION THICKNESS GAGE

The Model 25HP is an ultrasonic precision
thickness gage that provides costeffective solutions in applications where
the opposite side of the test material is
difficult or impossible to reach. It is
uniquely designed for materials such as
fiberglass, composites, rubber, and
castings that are difficult or impossible to
measure using standard ultrasonic gages.
The 25HPs low frequency capability offers
unmatched ultrasound penetration in
these materials, which tend to scatter and
absorb ultrasound energy due to
conditions such as grain structure and
internal fibers. This easy-to-use gage

offers measurement features typically

found in more complicated and expensive
units but at a lesser cost.
A unique feature, Application AutoRecall, allows you to select and recall any
of the stored standard or custom
transducer setups in the gages memory.
This permits easy switching between a
variety of contact, delay line, and
immersion transducers to solve an almost
infinite number of measurement
problems.

25HP SPECIFICATIONS*
MEASUREMENTS
Mode 1: Time interval between excitation
pulse and first backwall echo, using
contact transducers.
Mode 2: Time interval between the first
interface echo after the excitation pulse
and the first backwall echo using delay line
or immersion transducers.
Mode 3: Time interval between successive
backwall echoes following the first
interface echo after the excitation pulse,
using delay line and immersion transducers
Thickness Measurement Range:
