Instrument for Thickness Testing PCE-FD 20
PCE-FD 20 is a portable ultrasonic tester or ultrasonic thickness gauge with a large LCD screen that displays A-scan maps of ultrasonic signals, as well as B-scan cross-sections. Ideal for use in mechanical engineering, aerospace, and metallurgical applications, this high-frequency ultrasound-based thickness gauge uses a contact transducer (two different probes are included; 45° and 90°) to measure material thickness and identify flaws and defects such as joint discontinuity in various welds. It can also store up to 6000 images per gigabyte on the infrared camera’s SD card.
