The Phase II UTG-1000 is a hand held microprocessor controlled thickness gauge specifically designed for measuring the thickness of metallic and non-metallic materials
The Phase II UTG-1000 is a hand held microprocessor controlled thickness gauge specifically designed for measuring the thickness of metallic and non-metallic materials such as aluminum, titanium, plastics, ceramics, glass and any other good ultrasonic wave-conductor as long as it has parallel top and bottom surfaces.

With uses in many areas of industry, the UTG-1000 can perform precise measurements on various types of raw materials, component parts and assembled machinery. It can also be used to monitor all types of pipes and pressure vessels for loss of thickness due to corrosion or erosion.

The UTG-1000 is extremely easy to use. After a simple calibration to a known thickness or sound velocity, the guage will give accurate readings in millimeters. Sound velocities for 5 different materials can be preset and 10 thickness readings can be stored in the memory.

Basic Operating Principle
The priciple of ultrasonic wave in the thickness measurement is similar to that of the optical wave. The ultrasonic wave pulses transmitted by the probe reach the obect to be measured and propagate in the object and when they reach the interfaces, they are reflected back. The thickness of the object is determined be precisely measuring the time the ultrasonic wave travels in the object. To increase accuracy, the UTG-1000 is equipped with an automatic gain control and v-path error correction.
