1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Utilizing live A-scan and time-based B-scan for absolute correctness, this new state of the art

thickness gauge is packed with useful features allowing users to be confident of the displayed values on

the most critical of applications. This multi-functional unit offers everything from basic measurement,

Scan with Min/Max viewing, GO/NO GO display and Adjustable Sound Velocity. This dynamic sonic gauge

is designed to measure the thickness of metallic and non-metallic materials in critical situations that

ordinary thickness gauges couldn’t do.

The UTG-2675 will accurately display readings in either inch or millimeter after a simple calibration

to a known thickness or sound velocity.


IMPORTANT!
The UTG-2675 is a multi-functional thickness gauge that allows the user tremendous control over the functionality and performance
of this instrument. Although this provides the user with control and versatility for numerous applications, it also requires that the
user be familiar with the function, operation and waveform interpretation of the instrument as well.
It is recommended that the user spend a sufficient amount of time working with this instrument prior to field use.
Responsibility for proper use rests solely with the user of this instrument.

2.1 KEYBOARD FUCTION ILLUSTRATION

3. MEASURING THICKNESS
3.1 Sound Velocity Calibration
In order for the gauge to make accurate measurements, it must be set to the correct sound velocity for the
material being measured. Different types of material have different inherent sound velocities. If the gauge is not set to
the correct sound velocity, all of the measurements the gauge makes will be erroneous by some fixed percentage. The
One-Point calibration is the simplest and most commonly used calibration procedure optimizing linearity over large
ranges. The Two-point calibration allows for greater accuracy over small ranges by calculating the probe zero and
velocity.
Note: One and Two point calibrations must be performed on material with the paint or coating removed. Failure to
remove the paint or coating prior to calibration will result in a multi material velocity calculation that may be
different from the actual material velocity intended to be measured.

Calibration to a known thickness


Note: This procedure requires a sample piece of the specific material to be measured with a known thickness
value. This part should be measured with a caliper or micrometer.
1) Perform a test on the built-in test block to verify unit is functioning properly
2) Apply couplant to your sample piece.
3) Press the transducer against your sample piece, making sure that the transducer sits flat against the surface
of the sample. The display should show a “white colored” thickness value.
4) Having achieved a stable reading, remove the transducer. If the displayed thickness changes from the value
shown while the transducer was coupled, repeat step 3.
5) Press the CAL button to enter Calibration mode. On the bottom left corner of the display it will show VEL.
Press the virtual P1 button to enter velocity setting.
6) Press the transducer against the sample piece, making sure that the transducer sits flat against the surface
of the sample. The display should show some thickness value in the Top Left Corner as T= X.XXX.
7) While holding the probe on your sample, use the 4-Arrow buttons to change the velocity value until you see
the T= the actual thickness of your part.
8) Press P2(Done) button to save the setting.
9) You can now begin testing your application(s) of this same material.
3.2. Adjust the velocity directly if the material velocity is known. See illustration below.

3.1 INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION


Before using UTG-4000, the instrument/probe should be calibrated to a known thickness or sound
velocity.

1. One point calibration:This allows you to calibrate the gauge to a specific material using a
known thickness value. The One-Point calibration is the simplest and most commonly used calibration
procedure optimizing linearity over large ranges
2. Two point calibration:This allows you to calibrate from two known thickness of the same
material (ie: Step Block). The Two-point calibration allows for greater accuracy over small ranges by
calculating the probe zero and velocity.
Note: One and Two point calibrations must be performed on material with the paint or coating removed.
Failure to remove the paint or coating prior to calibration will result in a multi material velocity calculation that
may be different from the actual material velocity intended to be measured.
3. Dual Echo calibration:Calibrate the velocity from the test block of known thickness.
4. Setting the velocity manually:If the material velocity is known, for example the velocity of
steel is 5900m/s. The sound velocity can be set manually.

3.1.1 Probe Zero Procedure


3.1.2 One Point Calibration

3.1.3 Two Point Calibrations

3.1.4 Dual Echo Calibration


3.1.5 Velocity Adjusting Steps

Attention 1: Measure the standard block before calibration, to ensure that the current setting of
instrument parameters can measure the standard test block correctly.
Attention 2: probe zero procedure, one point calibration and two point calibrations are suitable for
single echo mode, dual echo calibration is suitable for dual echo mode.

3.4 DISPLAY MODES


There are three measuring interface display modes: NORMAL mode, A-scan mode and B-scan
mode. And there are three display modes within the “Normal” mode. The thickness value mode,
Difference/rate of reduction measurement mode, MAX/MIN measurement mode. Select this in “VIEW
MODE” of configuration.
ATTENTION: When the probe is properly “coupled” to the surface of the object being tested, the
value on the display will be shown in WHITE. If not coupled properly then the values will be shown in
GREEN. When the values exceed the upper or lower limit setting then the values will be shown in RED.

THICKNESS VALUE MODE(Normal): This interface shows the velocity of material, the present
thickness value and unit.

3.4 NORMAL MODE INTERFACE


1—the present thickness value 2—unit 3—material velocity 4—battery power 5—A-scan interface
DIFFERENCE/RATE-OF-REDUCTION MODE (DIFF/RR%): This interface shows the measured value,
the preset nominal thickness value, the difference between the measured value and the preset value
and the ratio between the difference and the normal value. Before using this mode, presetting the
nominal thickness is needed.

3.5 DIFFERENCE MODE INTERFACE


1—the difference between the normal value and the preset value 2—the ratio between the
difference and the nominal value 3—the present thickness value 4—the normal value
5—difference signal 6—material velocity 7—battery power 8—A—scan interface

LIMITS VALUE SCANNING MODE (MIN+MAX): this mode allows the customer to test the thickness of
material continuously and to show the upper/lower limits after the tests. It shows the minimum and
maximum values during the tests as well as the present thickness. Press the RESET button to get the
limits when measuring the thickness.

3.6 LIMITS VALUE MODE INTERFACE

1—the present thickness value 2—the maximum value 3—the minimum value 4—unit
5—material velocity 6—battery power 7—A—scan interface 8—reset
A-scan mode: This interface allows you to see the present thickness value and the A-scan waveform at
the same time. The right side of the interface is the specification adjusting area, which can be adjusted
for a more precise result. The detailed instructions can be seen in chapter 3.5.

3.7 A-SCAN MODE INTERFACE


1—waveform display area 2—gate 3—material velocity 4—the present highlighted
specification 5—measuring point( the first point of intersection between the waveform and the
gate) 6—the present thickness value 7—the blank confines
8—the range confines 9—the specification adjusting area 10—highlighted signal
11—digit mode 12—specification switch 13—battery power

ATTENTION: When the probe and the object are not completely coupled, the letters in the various
interfaces are shown in GREEN, when properly coupled, they are displayed in WHITE color and when
the either the upper or lower limits are exceeded, the letters will be displayed in RED color.

3.5 ADJUSTING THE SPECIFICATIONS IN A-SCAN INTERFACE


In the A-scan interface, press the P3 button to highlight the value to be adjusted. Then press the
direction keys to adjust the values. Up and down keys are used for small increments, while left and
right for larger increments.
GAIN—adjust the sensitivity of the gage with unit dB. The larger the gain is, the higher the sensitivity
is. The gain ranges from 8 to 55dB.
Helpful Hints: When testing flat parts, the gain should be low. Aluminum and cast aluminum should
also use low gain. Steel/Stainless Steel should be in the middle. Cast iron pipe should use maximum
gain.
When in Echo-Echo mode, the red arrow on the screen should point to the first wave. The blue arrow
should point to the second wave. This tells you that you have the GAIN set correctly. In STD mode only
the red arrow will show.
RANGE—adjust the testing range that the screen displays. The range is 0.393” to 5.70” (10~145mm).
DELAY—shown at the beginning point of the screen. The waveform will move horizontally when
adjusting this value.
BLANK—hide the unnecessary and useless clutter in front of the main waves. The red line on the
bottom of the screen shows the blank confines. The adjusting blank confines are the present range
confines. Incorrect readings can be caused by material issues such as corrosion, internal material
defects or even a specific material such as aluminum. Only adjustments in the Gain can solve part of
the problem
3.9. The waveform without blanking 3.10 Omits the front noise by blanking

GATE—lock the echo and show the thickness value of the highest echo. Adjusting the height of the gate.
The gate ranges from 1 to 50mm. Only when the waveform is higher than the gate will this gauge be
able to take the echo and show the value.
Attention: this will only show when the GATE specification is highlighted.
The first intersection point between the waveform and gate is shown with a RED arrow which will help
you determine if this thickness value is correct. If correctly tested, the red arrow should point to the
front of the first bottom echo.

3.6 REAL CASE ANALYSIS


1. When measuring the thickness, its possible that small gains prevent the precise results. As shown in
the following figure, the thickness of the testing object is about 5mm, but as for the over small gain, the
measuring result is 10.77mm as the first echo has not broken the gate and the gate locates the second
echo automatically. This is obviously an incorrect result, and customer can pull up the echo by
enhancing the gain setting to make the first echo break the gate and finally pinpoint the correct
measurement.

3.8 REAL CASE 1


2. There are some defects in the testing object, and the gate locks the defect echoes. As shown in the
following figure, the thickness of the testing object is about 10mm, but as there are obvious defects
(the defect echoes are shown on the display) and the gate locks the defect echoes which have broken
the gate, thus, the testing result shown is the thickness of the defect area. The right measurement can
be realized by adjusting the gate setting above the defect echoes.

3.9 REAL CASE 2

3. If there are some surface faults in the testing object and the gate locks the defect echoes, the
measuring result will be the thickness of the defect area. In this condition, the customer can use the
BLANK function to get the correct testing result. As shown in the following figure, the line on the
bottom of the screen, which we use to shield the defect echoes, indicates the blank confines and makes
the gate not catch the echoes within the blank confines, thus, the right thickness value is acquired.

10)The minimum thickness value on the B-scan image
11)Parameter display area
12)Gain value

3.72 Introduction to B-scan


The UTG-2675 has a time base B-scan function. By moving the probe across the surface of the
workpiece you can obtain a cross sectional profile of your part. This allows for viewing the contour of
your part.
When you remove the probe from the workpiece, the gauge can obtain the minimum value of the B
scan image and indicate that position with a RED arrow. You can see any point thickness value of the B
scan image by moving the pointer to any position. The minimum thickness of the picture is shown in
the top left corner as “MINIMUM”. The Red arrow is the position of the minimum thickness while in
B-scan.

3.8 DUAL-ECHO (THRU-COATING) MODE

The UTG-2675 can accurately measure the actual material below the coating utilizing the dual echo
measurement principle. This feature allows you to measure the material without having to destroy or
remove the protective coating of a surface.
Press “M” to go into the parameter interface and set Measurement mode to DUAL-ECHO and press “M”
to return to the main measurement screen.

3.8.1 A-Scan interface in dual-echo mode

The UTG-2675 allows you to use A-scan while in the dual-echo mode. This feature has added
E-blanking option as well as the option to cancel GATE. When measuring, the blue strip area indicates
the length of echo blanking./ the waveform above this is considered invalid.
See fig 3.16 below:
1) Identification of dual-echo mode
2) Blue arrow indicates secondary echo
3) E-blanking
4) Blue line: the length of echo-blanking
5) Red line: length of initial blanking
6) Red arrow: indicates first echo

Blanking in Dual-Echo Mode:


a) Initial blanking: The red blanking line starts at zero. The waveform within the scope of the red
strip is considered invalid due to lack of clutter between the starting point and the first echo.
b) E-Blanking(echo blanking): the blue line indicated on the screen appears when a
measurement has been successfully taken. This line starts at the first echo measurement point.
A waveform within the scope of the blue stripe is also considered invalid due to lack of clutter
between the first echo and secondary echo.

4. DATA STORAGE FUNCTIONS

The UTG-2675 utilizes a micro grid format allowing this unit to store up to 100,000 thickness values
and 1,000 A/B scan waveforms. (000-400 files) +21 lines and 12 columns. See Fig 3.17 below

5. CARE AND MAINTENANCE


5.1 POWER SOURCE INSPECTION
During the usage of the gage, the current battery power will be shown on the display. When the
battery capacity is low, the customer should change the batteries promptly so that the measuring
accuracy won’t be influenced. The steps of changing batteries are as follow:
1. Turn off the gage.
2. Loosen the screws on the back of the unit and remove the battery cover.
3. Take out the batteries and replace with new ones. Pay careful attention to polarity.
Attention: when not using the gauge for extended periods of time, please remove batteries to prevent
any leakage or corrosion.

5.2 Maintenance:
1. Always keep your gauge, probe, cable clean of any dirt, dust, fluids, etc to prevent early wear of
these parts.
2. Be sure to avoid any caustic liquid such as alcohol or viscous fluids to prevent corrosion to the
cover and the display window. Clean with water only.
3. Avoid scratching the surface of the probe. A worn probe will cause unstable readings.

5.3 Service/Support

Applications Notes:
Measuring pipe and tubing. (Not Applicable to this Model)
When measuring a piece of pipe to determine the thickness of the pipe wall, orientation of the
transducers is important. If the diameter of the pipe is larger than approximately 4 inches,
measurements should be made with the transducer oriented so that the gap in the wearface is
perpendicular (at right angle) to the long axis of the pipe. For smaller pipe diameters, two
measurements should be performed, one with the wearface gap perpendicular, another with the gap
parallel to the long axis of the pipe. The smaller of the two displayed values should then be taken as the
thickness at that point.

Measuring hot surfaces


The velocity of sound through a substance is dependant upon its temperature. As materials heat up,
the velocity of sound through them decreases. In most applications with surface temperatures less
than about 100℃, no special procedures must be observed. At temperatures above this point, the
change in sound velocity of the material being measured starts to have a noticeable effect upon
ultrasonic measurement. At such elevated temperatures, it is recommended that the user perform a
calibration procedure on a sample piece of known thickness, which is at or near the temperature of the
material to be measured. This will allow the gauge to correctly calculate the velocity of sound through
the hot material.
When performing measurements on hot surfaces, it may also be necessary to use a specially
constructed high-temperature transducer. These transducers are built using materials which can
withstand high temperatures. Even so, it is recommended that the probe be left in contact with the
surface for as short a time as needed to acquire a stable measurement. While the transducer is in
contact with a hot surface, it will begin to heat up, and through thermal expansion and other effects,
may begin to adversely affect the accuracy of measurements.

Measuring laminated materials.


Laminated materials are unique in that their density (and therefore sound-velocity) may vary
considerably from one piece to another. Some laminated materials may even exhibit noticeable
changes in sound-velocity across a single surface. The only way to reliably measure such materials is
by performing a calibration procedure on a sample piece of known thickness. Ideally, this sample
material should be a part of the same piece being measured, or at least from the same lamination batch.
By calibrating to each test piece individually, the effects of variation of sound-velocity will be
minimized.
An additional important consideration when measuring laminates, is that any included air gaps or
pockets will cause an early reflection of the ultrasound beam. This effect will be noticed as a sudden
decrease in thickness in an otherwise regular surface. While this may impede accurate measurement
of total material thickness, it does provide the user with positive indication of air gaps in the laminate.

Suitability of materials
Ultrasonic thickness measurements rely on passing a sound wave through the material being
measured. Not all materials are good at transmitting sound. Ultrasonic thickness measurement is
practical in a wide variety of materials including metals, plastics, and glass. Materials that are difficult
include some cast materials, concrete, wood, fiberglass, and some rubber.

Couplants
All ultrasonic applications require some medium to couple the sound from the transducer to the
test piece. Typically a high viscosity liquid is used as the medium. The sound used in ultrasonic
thickness measurement does not travel through air efficiently.
A wide variety of couplant materials may be used in ultrasonic gauging. Propylene glycol is
suitable for most applications. In difficult applications where maximum transfer of sound energy is
required, glycerin is recommended. However, on some metals glycerin can promote corrosion by
means of water absorption and thus may be undesirable.
Other suitable couplants for measurements at normal temperatures may include water, various
oils and greases, gels, and silicone fluids. Measurements at elevated temperatures will require specially
formulated high temperature couplants.
Inherent in ultrasonic thickness measurement is the possibility that the instrument will use the
second rather than the first echo from the back surface of the material being measured while in
standard pulse-echo mode. This may result in a thickness reading that is TWICE what it should be. The
Responsibility for proper use of the instrument and recognition of these types of phenomenon rests
solely with the user of the instrument.
