Paul N. Gardner Co., Inc. Jul 25, 2018

Press Release Summary:

The new Fischerscope® UMP 20, 40, and 100 ultrasonic corrosion gauges measure wall thicknesses on pipes, storage tanks, and vessels. The gauge works on metal, plastic, composites, rubber, glass, fiberglass, and ceramics. The products come with duel-element transducers and can handle rough, corroded surfaces. The 150 precision gauge model allows for non-destructive measurement of very thin materials and has different modes to meet the needs of specific applications.

Introducing the New Fischerscope UMP Gauges

Determining Wall Thickness with Ultrasound

For Immediate Release: Fischerscope® UMP 20, 40 and 100 ultrasonic corrosion gauges are the tool of choice for wall thickness measurement. The easy-to-use UMP gauges quickly and accurately measure, metal, plastic, composites, rubber, glass, fiberglass, and ceramics. Common applications include pipes, storage tanks, and pressure vessels.

With a wide variety of transducers and features available, there is a UMP gauge to suit every budget and handle most any requirement (ex: measure through paint). Should your needs change in the future, upgrades are available which are activated in your UMP via keypad entry.

The UMP 150 ultrasonic precision thickness gauge allows for accurate, non-destructive measurement of very thin materials. Like the UMP 20-40-100 series, it is easy to use and measures metal, plastic, composites, rubber, glass, fiberglass, and ceramics. Utilizing single-poled transducers and a high-frequency square wave generator (30 MHz), the UMP 150 ensures an excellent resolution of 1 µm, and has a wide measuring range of 0.004" to 20".
