CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The Dakota Ultrasonics model
PVX-B
is a precision ultrasonic thickness gauge with a
time based B-Scan and alpha numeric data logger. Based on the same operating
principles as SONAR, the
PVX-B
is capable of measuring the thickness of various
materials with accuracy as high as
0.0001 inches, or
0.001 millimeters. The
principle advantage of ultrasonic measurement over traditional methods is that
ultrasonic measurements can be performed with access to only one side of the
material being measured.
