Measuring Thickness
NOTE:
The instrument is designed to measure materials with surface
temperatures of up to 100
°
C. However, the instrument’s internal elec-
tronics should not be allowed to reach temperatures above 60
°
C for ex-
tended periods of time. When internal instrument temperature reaches
60
°
C, the instrument displays the word “Hot.” This warning will remain
until the instrument’s internal temperature drops below 55
°
C. When in-
ternal temperature reaches 85
°
C, the HOT warning is momentarily dis-
played, than the instrument is automatically powered off.
The PocketMIKE measures thickness in units of inches or mm. Read
the following notices and instructions before measuring thickness.
When
is displayed, the instrument is ready to measure thick-
ness. Follow these steps to measure thickness:
Step 1—
Remove dirt, loose material, and couplant residue from the
surface of the test piece.
Step 2—
Be sure that the instrument has been calibrated to match the
sound velocity of material being tested.
NOTE:
ALWAYS calibrate the PocketMIKE before measuring thick-
ness. Refer to sections 3.2 and 3.3 for instructions.
NOTE:
