Atec Panametrics-Olympus-37DL-Plus - Manual

The Panametrics-NDT™ 37DL PLUS is
an advanced nondestructive ultrasonic
thickness gage that combines powerful
measurement features with sophisticated
data acquisition and output capabilities
for applications involving pipes, tanks,
and other metal structures subject
to internal corrosion or erosion. The
37DL PLUS includes many innovative
features that simplify true metal thickness
measurements even when the exposed
surface is coated or painted. A new Thru-
Coat technology measures and displays
the thickness of the metal part and its
coating using a ‘single backwall echo’.
A new Oxide/Scale option measures and
displays the thickness of the steel and
the oxide/scale build-up on the inside
of boiler tubes to help predict tube life.
Accuracy of high temperature thickness
measurements can be improved by using
the new Temperature Compensation
feature that adjusts the material velocity for changes in material temperature.
A new Average/Min mode saves the
average or minimum of several successive
thickness measurements.
Improvements
New 37DL PLUS electronics bring
improvements to many standard
measurement features. The new A-scan
display is brighter with better contrast and
visibility. Every thickness reading in a
stored B-scan can now be reviewed on
the 37DL PLUS and in the Interface
Program. The user can select to view
(Min/Max, Alarm, or A-scan flags)
flags with Grid points. The file-based
alphanumeric datalogger can use longer
file names (32 character max) and ID
numbers (20 character max). Grid files
can be expanded by adding rows or
columns or by changing the incrementing
direction.
