material. As a result, the type and thickness of the coating will affect the ability to
achieve a successful measurement. Both delay line and contact style transducers can be
used for through paint/coating measurements.
Interface-Echo (IE) Mode
The interface-echo mode measures from the end of the “‘interface/delay line” to the
first return echo/reflection. This mode can be used for thicker materials up to 1”, and
for attenuative materials that don’t produce a sufficient second echo. The standard
measuring range is approximately 0.060” up to 1.00” rated in steel, and offers
temperature compensation for the heating and cooling of the transducer itself.
Plastics (PLAS) Mode
The plastics mode is a special setup for measuring thin plastics using a modified
interface-echo mode. When the standard acrylic delay tip is similar in velocity to the
plastic material measured, a return echo is not possible. Simply replacing the acrylic tip
with our graphite tip and using the ‘plastics’ mode will provide the necessary mismatch
necessary to measure the plastic successfully. The approximate range is 0.005” up
to 0.300” depending on the type of plastic measured. This mode additionally offers
temperature compensation for the heating and cooling of the transducer.
