TKG250 Digital Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge/Datalogger with Color Waveform by Extech
Extech offers Thickness Gauges designed in compact, handheld, rugged housing ideal for field use. The ultrasonic technology allows for non-destructive thickness measurements for primarily steel structures. Select models with digital thickness readout or live color waveform and datalogging function.
Features
- Wide measurement range: 5MHz probe: 0.040" to 20" of steel; 10MHz probe: 0.020" to 20" of steel (optional)
- Sunlight readable dot-matrix display with backlight
- Multiple transducer options for high temperature and difficult to measure materials
- Fast minimum feature to capture minimum thicknesses
- On screen display of 8 languages
- Splash-proof (IP54), high impact, compact housing
- Color LCD display shows red, yellow and green visual alarm indication
- Live Waveform (A-scan for thickness verification)
- File compare feature as a real time corrosion monitor
- Dynamic change of waveform color on alarm
- Grid review of saved readings
- Echo to Echo option to ignore coatings
- 100K internal datalogger with export to Excel
- B-scan (visual cross section of test piece)
- Vibrating alarm indication
Applications
- Boiler Tubes
- Pressure Vessels
- Storage Tanks
- Ship Hulls
- Containers
- Home Oil Tanks
- Pipes
- Steam Lines
- Compressors
- Shafts
- Bridge Pins
- Bond Inspection
Size | 5" (127 mm) (L) x 3" (76.2 mm) (W) x 1.25" (31.75 mm) (H) |
Weight | 8 OZ (.23 kg) |
Thickness range | 0.008 - 20 inches (0.20 mm - 508 mm), depending on material, temperature and transducer selection |
Material velocity calibration range | 0.200-0.7362 in/μS (0.508 -18.699 mm/μS) |
Temperature | Gauge Operating: -4° F to 122° F (-20° C to 50° C) Surface temperature of material: Depending on probe used, from -5° F to 1000° F (-20° C to 537° C) |
Battery life | Up to 50 hours (20 hours with backlight on) |
Battery type | 2 "AA" Alkaline |
Display | 220 X 170 Graphics Color TFT with Live Color Waveform |
Information displays | LOS, min, max, large reading while displaying min at the same time, velocity, zero, calibration, units, freeze, unfreeze, % battery life remaining, gain - low, std, high, echo-to-echo symbol |
Resolution | 0.001" (0.01 mm), 0.01" (0.1mm) |
Accuracy | Basic Accuracy is 0.004" but on clean smooth steel an accuracy of 0.001" is not uncommon. The more corrosive the environment, and pitted the surface under test, the closer to the 0.004" accuracy one can expect to be. As noted, a higher accuracy can be obtained when measuring on clean smooth steel. |
Probe recognition | Via pick list from a menu |
Delay line zero measurement | Auto at power up with listed numeric value. Ideal for correcting delay line wear/curvature and for transducer acoustic drift at elevated temperatures |
Package | Custom, splash-proof, high-impact plastic with rubber, illuminating keypad for go/no-go testing |
Bandwidth | 0.5-20 MHz (-3dB) |
Units | English/Metric/Microseconds |
WaveForm | Live Color Waveform with Dynamic color change on alarm, large thickness reading, super-impose thickness over top right of A-Scan. |
Rectify | RF, Full Wave, Half Wave+, Half Wave - |
Blanking | Main Bang Blank and Blank After First Received Echo |
Gain | Auto or Manual in 1 dB steps for varying test conditions |
Echo-to-Echo | used to ignore coatings and measure substrate only |
B-Scan | Cross sectional representation of test piece |
Measurement rate | 4/sec and 20/sec in fast mode |
Differential Mode | Displays the difference from the actual thickness measurement and a user entered reference value |
Alarms | Minimum/Maximum depth, vibralarm (vibration on alarm-patent pending), beeps and display flashes as well as keypad illumination and dynamic waveform color change |
Illuminating keypad | F1 = Red, F2 = Yellow and F3 = Green for easy, go/no-go testing (Patent Pending) |
Automatic probe wear indicator ( Transducer attendant) | Automatically informs the operator to replace the transducer (Patent Pending) |
Ergonomics | User selectable lefty or righty display changes via keypad (Patent Pending) |
Backlight | Light Emitting Diode, On/Off or Auto ON based on valid readings or last key-press |
Shut off | Auto, time out (after 1-31 minutes user programmable after no reading, loss or no key press or "never") |
Scan mode | Simultaneously Displays minimum or maximum thickness value at 20 measurements per second (ideal for high temperature thickness reading and tracking the minimum depth alarm). Press Freeze to capture last valid minimum thickness readings prior to Loss of Signal (LOS), without reading the couplant upon lifting probe off the test piece |
Carrying case | Custom molded pouch with wrist strap for either left-handed or right-handed operators. |
Shipping case | Hard plastic with high-density molded cut out for all accessories |
Freeze mode | Freezes display (ideal for high temp. measurements) |
Hold mode | Holds display to retain last thickness reading in reverse video display |
Included materials | Ultrasonic thickness gauge, DK-537potted, 5 MHz 0.375 inch diameter, operational manual, USB cable, couplant, protective pouch, transport case, data XL interface program. |
