Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge – CX Series

Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge – CX Series offers advanced features for accurately measuring material thickness and velocity across various materials and applications.

Intelligent User-Set Limits for Pass/Fail Indication Users can define upper and lower limits with audible and visual alerts for pass/fail results. Limits can be applied to individual readings or entire batches.
	Accurate Versatile Calibration Options for Precision and Efficiency The CX thickness gauges offer multiple calibration options, including the 1-Point calibration method. Users can choose from 39 pre-set materials or store up to three custom calibrations in memory.
Versatile Accurate Measurement on Coated & Uncoated Surfaces Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the corrosion gauge measures both uncoated and coated surfaces. With Echo Echo ThruPaint™ Mode (EE), coatings up to 2mm (80 mils) are bypassed for precise readings.
	Summary Auto Recognition: Automatically identifies the correct probe when the transducer is changed. High-Speed Scan Mode: Captures measurements at 16Hz, ideal for large surface areas. Customizable Resolution: Choose between 0.1mm (0.01”) or 0.01mm (0.001”). Multiple Measurement Modes: Pulse Echo (PE), Echo Echo ThruPaint™ (EE), and Velocity Mode (VM). Hi/Lo Limit Indicators: Identify problem areas with visual alerts. Integrated Zero Disc: Ensures maximum accuracy. Extensive Data Storage: Holds up to 100,000 readings across 1,000 sequential batches. Adjustable Reading Rate: Select from 4, 8, or 16 readings per second. Versatile Transducer Options: Compatible with a wide range of corrosion thickness transducers.

Customizable Display Options

The CX Thickness Gauge offers multiple display modes, allowing users to choose the best format for their needs, including Readings, Selected Statistics, Bar Graph, Run Chart, B-Scan, and Differential Mode.

User Definable Upper and Lower Limits CX gauges allow users to set upper and lower limits with audible and visual pass/fail warnings for quick comparison against pre-defined values. The CX8 model can store up to 40 pre-programmed limits, applied to individual readings or entire batches. If a measurement exceeds the set limits, the reading and limit icon turn red, the red LED flashes, and an alarm sounds for immediate issue detection.
	A Range of Calibration Methods 1-Point Calibration: After zeroing, a reading is taken on an uncoated sample of known thickness. The entered thickness confirms the derived sound velocity. 2-Point Calibration: Readings are taken on two uncoated samples with known thicknesses. The second entry confirms the derived sound velocity. Material Calibration: Select a material from the pre-defined list stored in the gauge for calibration. Velocity Calibration: Use the known sound velocity of the test material for precise calibration. Thickness Set Calibration: Calibrate using the known thickness of the test material. Up to three calibrations can be saved in memory for quick selection without re-calibration.
Scan Mode When enabled, users can slide the transducer over a large surface while the gauge captures readings at 16Hz (16 readings per second). The live thickness is displayed alongside an analog bar graph, showing its relation to the set nominal value and user-defined limits. Audible and visual warnings indicate any out-of-range readings. Once the transducer is lifted, the gauge displays the average, lowest, and highest thickness values, making Scan Mode ideal for assessing overall material uniformity.
	Sequential or Grid Batching Store individual readings in up to 1,000 sequential or grid-type alphanumeric batches, complete with date, time stamp, and reading location.* Users can review batch readings, statistics, and graphical data for better analysis. The Obstruction (Obst) Feature allows users to mark areas where measurements couldn’t be taken, ensuring accurate documentation of inspection areas.
B-Scan Reading The time-based, 2D cross-sectional B-Scan provides a graphical view of the tested material, making it ideal for relative depth analysis. The zoom can be set to automatic or manually adjusted to focus on specific areas of interest.
	Differential Mode After setting a user-defined nominal thickness, the gauge displays the measured thickness alongside its variation from the set value, highlighting areas that are thinner or thicker than expected.

Velocity Mode

Velocity Mode measures the speed of sound in materials, making it ideal for assessing material homogeneity and determining the correct velocity for calibration.
