Product Information

Full details

The Sauter TD 225-0.1US is a precision ultrasonic thickness gauge designed for engineers, quality control inspectors, and maintenance professionals who need to accurately measure the thickness of various materials. Its primary advantage is the external sensor, which allows for effortless measurements in tight or difficult-to-reach locations. While it excels in versatility and range, users should note that consistent measurement accuracy depends on proper surface preparation and the use of the correct acoustic coupling agent.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the TD 225-0.1US?

It is used for non-destructive testing to measure the thickness of materials like metal, plastic, or glass.

Can I use this device for measuring liquid thickness?

No, this gauge is specifically designed for solid materials that allow ultrasonic waves to travel through them.

Do I need to calibrate the device before each use?

It is recommended to check the calibration using a reference block before starting a series of measurements to ensure accuracy.

What is the purpose of the sound velocity setting?

Different materials transmit sound waves at different speeds; adjusting this setting ensures the thickness calculation is accurate for the specific material being tested.

How do I toggle between inches and millimeters?

Use the unit selection button on the front panel to cycle between inches and millimeters.

Does the unit include the required coupling gel?

Typically, ultrasonic couplant is included with the gauge, but it must be purchased separately if exhausted.

Troubleshooting

Inconsistent or jumping readings

Ensure sufficient coupling gel is used and the probe is held firmly and squarely against the surface.

Device displays 'E' or no measurement

Check that the material thickness is within the 1.2mm to 225mm range and ensure the sound velocity is set correctly for the material.

Cannot transfer data to PC

Verify the RS232 cable connection and ensure the communication software on your PC matches the baud rate settings of the gauge.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • External sensor provides superior access to confined areas
  • Comprehensive measurement range for thin and thick materials
  • Flexible sound velocity settings accommodate various materials
  • Digital readout supports both metric and imperial units
  • RS232 port allows for efficient digital data export

Cons

  • Requires manual application of coupling gel for every reading
  • Data export requires an RS232-to-USB adapter for modern PCs
  • Surface must be cleaned thoroughly for accurate results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the unit, install the batteries according to the polarity markings in the compartment. Connect the external probe to the device port before powering on.

Compatibility: The device interfaces via RS232; if your workstation lacks a serial port, use an RS232-to-USB converter.

Care Instructions:

  • Always wipe the probe head clean after use to prevent couplant buildup.
  • Store the unit in a protective case when not in use.
  • Avoid using the sensor on surfaces exceeding the rated temperature limit of the probe.
  • Periodically calibrate the unit against a known standard to maintain accuracy.
