1. Instrument Description
This chapter describes the main features and hardware components of the 45MG
instrument.
1.1 Product Description
The 45MG by Olympus is a handheld ultrasonic thickness gage designed for a wide
variety of thickness-measurement applications. With the 45MG, you only need access
to one side of a part in order to obtain nondestructive measurements of the thickness
of corroded, pitted, scaled, granular, and other difficult materials.
The 45MG displays a thickness readout and offers an optional A-scan view for
waveform verification. The microprocessor of the 45MG continuously adjusts the
receiver setup so that every measurement is optimized for reliability, range,
sensitivity, and accuracy. An optional advanced internal datalogger can store up to
475000 thickness measurements and 20000 waveforms.
With the Single Element option, the 45MG operates with a full line of single element
transducers. Operation with dual element transducers is a standard feature.
Depending on the software options, the 45MG is capable of measuring material
thicknesses between 0.08 mm and 635.0 mm (0.003 in. and 25.0 in.). The temperature
range of measured materials may vary between
−
20 °C and 500 °C (
−
4 °F and 932 °F),
depending on the material characteristics, the transducer, and the measurement
mode.
