Designed for fiberglass and composite materials like carbon fiber, the ultrasonic thickness gauge for composites stands out for its ability to take reliable measurements even on painted or coated surfaces.
This product joins our already widely tested and well-known range of ultrasonic thickness gauges, offering advantageous and higher-performing features.
Let’s take a closer look at how this SAMA Tools instrument works and which applications it is particularly suited for.
How does the ultrasonic thickness gauge work on fiberglass and carbon fiber?
This state-of-the-art thickness gauge offers advanced functionality and flexibility, making it ideal for use across a wide range of industries.
It can be used on metallic and non-metallic materials such as steel, aluminium, titanium, plastic, ceramic, glass and other ultrasonic wave conductors.
However, this instrument has something more that distinguishes it from other models, making it particularly suitable for certain types of measurements.
The special probe, which comes included, is suitable for measuring certain composite or laminated materials, such as fiberglass.
This type of material is widely used in the boat manufacturing industry for recreational and work crafts. In fact, boat manufacturers and marine inspectors need to accurately measure the thickness of the hulls.
Useful in various industries, it’s an innovative tool used to carry out different measurements compared to the standard ones, on processed materials such as fiberglass.
What are the advantages of the thickness gauge?
This gauge is ideal for any type of application due to its compatibility with a wide range of single and dual element transducers.
Its versatility makes this thickness gauge particularly useful and is highly recommended in the naval, aerospace, aeronautical sectors, but is also useful in the automotive and oil & gas industries as well.
