Ultrasonic Equipment Used for Fiberglass Thickness Measurements
Fiberglass measurements are normally performed with precision thickness gauges, such as the 39DL PLUS™ gauge or 45MG gauge with the High Penetration software option. Transducer selection and setup depend on the desired thickness range capability and quality of the composite material. A typical measurement range is from 0.05 to 3 in. (1.25 to 75 mm) using the specialized 0.5 MHz M2008 fiberglass transducer for thicker parts. Other transducers such as the M1036 (2.25 MHz) or M109 (5 MHz) are used for thicknesses under 0.5 in. (12.5 mm).
