Dakota Ultrasonics MX-5 DL - Manual (Page 5)

MX-5 DL Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
1
INTRODUCTION
The Dakota Ultrasonics model MX-5 DL is a precision Ultrasonic
Micrometer. Based on the same operating principles as SONAR, the MX-5
DL is capable of measuring the thickness of various materials with
accuracy as high as
±
0.001 inches, or
±
0.01 millimeters. The principle
advantage of ultrasonic measurement over traditional methods is that
ultrasonic measurements can be performed with access to only one side of
the material being measured.
This manual is presented in three sections. The first section covers
operation of the MX-5 DL, and explains the keypad controls and display.
The second section provides guidelines in selecting a transducer for a
specific application. The last section provides application notes and a table
of sound velocity values for various materials.
