METHOD TO EVALUATE DIRECT-READING ULTRASONIC PULSE-ECHO THICKNESS METERS

A DESCRIPTION IS GIVEN OF VARIOUS TYPES OF ULTRASONIC DIRECT-READING WALL-THICKNESS METERS. THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE TYPE OF INSTRUMENT AS REGARDS INDICATION ERROR ARE DISCUSSED. THE BEHAVIOR OF DIFFERENT INSTRUMENT-PROBE COMBINATIONS CAN BE COMPARED WITH THE AID OF DIAGRAMS SHOWING THE DEPTH CHARACTERISTIC AND THE USEFUL OPERATING AREA. THE INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON PROBE AND OBJECT IS ANALYZED. SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE WITH RESPECT TO MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR METERS TO BE USED IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRY. /AUTHOR/
