The thickness meter can measure material thicknesses up to 300 mm / 11.81". So that the material thickness of a wide variety of homogeneous materials can be measured, it is possible to store the corresponding speed of sound in the thickness meter. For materials such as steel, aluminum, zinc, silver and gold, the appropriate sound speeds are already stored in the device library. This means that the thickness meter can be used universally.

With the limit value function in the thickness meter, individual maximum and minimum values ​​can be stored. If the measured value of the test piece is outside the limits, the thickness meter signals this visually. If necessary, the signaling can also be done acoustically by the thickness meter in addition to the visual display. This is why the thickness meter is used, for example, in quality assurance and in incoming goods inspections.

The thickness meter has a data memory on which the measured values ​​can be recorded. After a measurement sequence, the stored measurement values ​​can be analyzed directly on the thickness meter. The stored data are graphically displayed by the thickness meter. In addition, each individual measuring point can be approached and read in the graphics of the thickness meter. For a simplified analysis of the measured values, the average, the largest and smallest measured value is displayed on the thickness meter. The thickness meter can optionally be equipped with an ISO calibration certificate.
