5.6 Multilayer / composite material
It is impossible to read out the thickness of the uncoupled mult-
-ilayer for the ultrasonic wave can not go through the uncoupled 
space. Further more, the sonic wave cannot travel in the comp-
-osite material at an even speed, so ultrasonic reflect principle 
cannot be applied to measure the multilayer/composite material.
5.7 Influence from the oxidized surface
For some metals, such as aluminum a layer of oxide being 
generated on their surface. The oxidized layer combined with 
the substrate tightly, but the sonic wave travel within 2 different 
material which will lead to error reading, the more oxidized layer 
the reading will be more tolerant. Please calibrated the unit with 
the sample block that pick up along the hardware to be measured, 
and obtain the thick of sample block by using micrometer.
5.8 Abnormal reading
A seasoned operator should be capable to distinguish the 
abnormal reading, practically result from rusting, erosive recess 
surface / incorrect calibrate sample block/ the inner flaw of 
material. 
5.9 Choose and using coupling agent
Coupling agent serves  the high frequency ultrasonic wave tran-
-smitting between the transducer to the hardware. Choose inco-
-rrect agent or wrong operation man cause error or poor coupling 
which lead to failure of measuring. The coupling agent should 
be used in proper way, typiccally, a single droplet of agent is 
sufficient.
    It is important to use proper coupling agent, low viscosity 
agent(the provided agent / machining oil) is suitable for smooth 
surface. For rough / veritcal / aluminum surface, high viscosity 
agent like glycerin and lubrication grease is applicable. All kinds 
of coupling agent is available in local market, you can buy it form 
local distributor as well.
