THEORY OF OPERATION
MG2 Series Gages operate on the dual transducer "pulse-echo"
principal, timing the reflection of high frequency sound waves from
the far wall of the test piece. This technique, derived from sonar, has
been widely applied to nondestructive testing.The frequency range
used by the gage does not travel well through air, so a coupling liquid
such as glycerine or gel is used between the face of the transducer and
the test piece. The sound waves generated by the transmit side of the
transducer are coupled into the test piece, travel through it, and are
reflected back from the opposite side. The reflected sound waves or
echoes are coupled into the receive side of the transducer where they
are converted back into electrical signals. The gage precisely
measures the time interval between the excitation pulse and the first
echo signal and subtracts a zero offset value representing transducer
delay. The result is multiplied by the velocity of sound in the test
material, V, and divided by two to compensate for the two-way sound
path. The final result, X, is the thickness of the test material.
The microprocessor performs the arithmetic described above to
produce the thickness value. This value along with various gage status
indicators is sent to the LCD display.
The microprocessor also directs the Receiver/Detector to identify the
transducer type using the I.D. pin of the transducer. Calibration values
and gage setups are saved in non-volatile RAM (Random Access
Memory). The keyboard informs the microprocessor of user-entered
changes of mode, values, and so on.
