1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE AND ITS COMPONENTS
1.1 The purpose of the device
The device is designed to measure the thickness of objects in which ultrasonic vibrations
propagate, with unilateral access to them.
Thickness gauge is used to control the thickness of products during their manufacture and operation in
any industry.
1.2 The technical characteristics of the device
The ultrasonic thickness gauge NOVOTEST UT-1M is a portable device made in a shock-
resistant case (with a special protective silicone bumper-case for difficult operating conditions) inside
which the electronic components board and batteries are placed.
The main characteristics of the device are mentioned in tab. 1.1.

Parameters of the controlled products:
surface roughness of the product - Rz ≤ 20 μm;
minimum radius of curvature of the product surface - 10 mm.
Housing protection:
The degree of the device housing protection from penetration of solid bodies and water
corresponds to national standard requirements.
Mean time between failures.
Mean time to failure of the device excluding the index of reliability inverters for at least 6000
hours.
Note:
The mean time between failures of the transducers is normalized taking into account the
roughness parameter of the surface of the controlled article R z = 1.0 μm
.
Life time
The total average life time of the device is not less than 10 years.
The criterion for decommissioning is the economic inexpediency of restoring the operative state of
the component parts of the instrument by repairing.
