Diameter Frequency Measurement
Range Application
13 mm
½ inch
2¼ MHz 3.0 – 250 mm
4
0.12 – 10 inch
This is the standard probe
– suitable for most
applications.
13 mm
½ inch
3½ MHz 2.0 – 150 mm
0.08 – 6 inch
Suitable for measurement on
thinner sections where
surfaces are relatively rough
6 mm
¼ inch 5 MHz
1.0 – 50 mm
0.04 – 2 inch
The higher frequency and
narrower beam makes this
Probe ideal for measuring
small-bore tubing, thin section
plate and other areas where
access is limited.
13 mm
½ inch 5 MHz
1.0 – 50 mm
0.04 – 2 inch
Ideal for thin sections without
heavy corrosion.
Lower frequency probes offer better penetration on heavy
corrosion/coatings.
Probe Frequency Identification

4 To measure thicknesses on tall thin cylinders or columns the height-width ratio should be no
less than 1.0:0.6 (Height:Width) otherwise side reflections prevent measurement.
Red = 2.25 MHz Orange = 3.5 MHz Black = 5.0 MHz
