TN_EE-BA-e-1410 3
1 Overview
The model TN-EE is a multi-mode ultrasonic thickness gauge. Based on the same
operating principles as SONAR, the instrument is capable of measuring the thickness
of various materials with accuracy as high as 0.1/0.01 millimeters.
The multi-mode feature of the gauge allows the user to toggle between pulse-echo
mode and echo-echo mode (eliminating paint or coating thickness).
