Thickness Gage ultrasonically measures multilayer materials.
Press Release Summary:
Model 25MULTI PLUS ultrasonic gage can calculate and simultaneously display thickness measurements of various layers in multilayered parts. Using stored setups for each layer (such as sound velocity), gage will display up to 4 individual layers and total thickness of selected layers. Thickness range is 0.004 in. to 20 in. with resolution up to 0.0001 in. Gage works on plastic, metal, casting, glass, fiberglass, and composites.

Model 25MULTI PLUS Ultrasonic Precision Thickness Gage for Multilayer Materials
This ultrasonic precision thickness gage has the capability to calculate and display up to four measurements simultaneously. It also features a unique Barrier Layer Mode for applications involving thin barrier layers in multilayered plastic products.
The new Model 25MULTI PLUS is an advanced ultrasonic precision thickness gage that makes very accurate one-sided measurements on most engineering materials of varying shapes and sizes: plastic, metal, casting, glass, fiberglass, and composites.
A truly unique feature is the gage's ability to calculate and simultaneously display the thickness measurements of various layers in a multilayered part. Using special stored setups for each layer (such as the sound velocity), the gage will display up to four individual layers and total thickness of selected layers.
Another advanced feature of the 25MULTI PLUS is the Barrier Layer Mode. This unique feature makes it possible to measure very thin barrier layers in mulitlayered plastic parts such as gas fuel tanks and bottle preforms. This special Mode displays the thickness of thin barrier layers that are typically too difficult to measure with conventional ultrasonic thickness gages because of lack of separation between the echo from the front and back of the barrier layer.
The 25MULTI PLUS has a wide thickness range: 0.1mm - 500mm (0.004 inch - 20 inch) with a resolution of up to 0.001mm (0.0001 inch). The 25MULTI PLUS with its color-coded, direct-access keypad is easy-to-use. The unit has 25 default transducer setups for direct contact, delay line and immersion transducer. The gage also offers 35 custom transducer storage locations making it easy for the user to store and recall special transducer setups for almost any thickness measurement applications. The gage's LCD screen displays the thickness reading and the corresponding waveform to verify the echo trace or ensure proper transducer alignment
The 25MULTI PLUS has a file-based, alphanumeric datalogger to store, recall, and transmit thickness readings, waveform images, and gage setup information via its RS-232 Serial Port.
