The paint thickness meter is used for non-destructive material testing. When testing with the paint thickness meter, ultrasonic waves are sent through the test object using a probe. The ultrasound is reflected and scattered at interfaces of different materials with unequal density and wave impedance. After determining the transit time of the ultrasound through the test object, weld seams can be tested, wall thicknesses measured and component defects localised with the ultrasonic testing device.

With adjustable frequencies between 0.5 ... 20 MHz and sound velocities between 1000 ... 15000 m/s, measurements can be carried out in steel in the range between 0 ... 10000 mm. DAC and AVG evaluation methods, display and probe delay, attenuation and amplification functions, export and report generation functions as well as numerous other setting options make non-destructive material testing with the paint thickness meter considerably easier. The tester has a video recording of the screen. The software can then be used to call up the data and create a report. The setting parameters can be changed using the rotary knob. The 5.7-inch colour display provides a clear presentation of the test results.

The ultrasonic tester is a powerful measuring device that has been designed for appropriate tests. Robust and ergonomic design enables use under industrial conditions. Weighing just 1.1 kg, the paint thickness meter can not only be used as a desktop device but is also suitable for mobile use.
