FAQs

What is the primary function of the Sauter TN 230-0.1US?

The Sauter TN 230-0.1US is a digital ultrasonic thickness gauge used to measure the thickness of various materials non-destructively, with an accuracy of 0.1mm.

What types of materials can this gauge measure?

It can measure a wide range of metallic and non-metallic materials.

What is the minimum and maximum thickness the gauge can measure?

The measurement range is from 1.2mm to 230mm.

Does the gauge require any special consumables?

Yes, it requires an ultrasonic coupling gel to ensure proper transmission of sound waves between the transducer and the material surface.

How is the device powered?

It is powered by two standard AA batteries.

What is the operating frequency of the transducer?

The gauge operates at a frequency of 5MHz.

How should I clean the transducer?

Clean the transducer with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure it is dry before storage.

Troubleshooting

No reading or unstable reading

Ensure sufficient coupling gel is applied and the transducer is pressed firmly against the surface. Check that the material is within the measurable range and that the surface is clean. Verify battery levels.

Reading seems inaccurate

Recalibrate the device if possible (refer to manufacturer's manual for calibration procedures, often involves measuring a known thickness). Ensure the correct material setting is used if applicable. Surface roughness can impact accuracy; try a smoother area or different transducer placement.

Device does not power on

Check that the AA batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.

Display shows error code

Consult the user manual for specific error code meanings. Common causes include insufficient coupling, measurement outside the range, or internal fault.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High precision with 0.1mm accuracy.
  • Versatile for both metallic and non-metallic materials.
  • Non-destructive measurement capability.
  • Portable and easy to handle.
  • Clear digital readout.

Cons

  • Requires a coupling agent for accurate readings.
  • Measurement range has limits (1.2mm - 230mm).
  • Effectiveness may vary with material surface condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Insert Batteries: Open the battery compartment and insert two AA batteries, observing correct polarity.
  2. Prepare Surface: Clean both the surface of the object to be measured and the transducer face. Ensure the surface is free from dirt, oil, or loose particles.
  3. Apply Coupling Agent: Apply a small amount of ultrasonic coupling gel to the transducer face or the measurement surface. This is crucial for transmitting ultrasonic waves.
  4. Take Measurement: Place the transducer firmly onto the prepared surface. The thickness reading will appear on the digital display.

Compatibility:

The TN 230-0.1US is designed to measure the thickness of a wide variety of metallic and non-metallic materials. Its performance may be affected by materials with highly irregular internal structures or extremely porous surfaces.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the device and transducer with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth after each use. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the gauge in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect the transducer from impact.
  • Coupling Gel: Clean off any residual coupling gel from the transducer after use to prevent it from drying and potentially damaging the surface.
