NOTE:
Worn, cracked, or otherwise damaged probe tips will affect the
accuracy of thickness measurements. Refer to section 3.6 for informa-
tion on probe replacement.
NOTE:
Calibration standards of known thickness should be of the same
material, sound velocity, and curvature of the material being tested. Best
results are achieved with a standard that is slightly thicker than the thick-
est expected test piece.
3.2 Thickness Calibration
The instrument offers two calibration modes, thickness and velocity
(section 3.3). To launch thickness calibration mode, press anytime
the instrument’s display shows the
indication. Note that
throughout the calibration process,
appears (and flashes) along
the display’s upper edge. Figure 3-1 illustrates the displayed param-
eters and key presses required to navigate through the thickness
calibration process. Note that calibration should be performed with the
instrument set to its highest resolution.
FIGURE 3-1—Thickness Calibration Procedure
Uncouple when reading is stable then
press
or
to adjust reading to
nominal value.
