UM-5 Principle Elaboration
Ordinary ultrasonic thickness machine adopting the principle of pulse-echo method need to meet the following conditions in order to measure successfully:
1.The first bottom echo must be higher than the gate(the gate level is fixed and cannot be adjusted)
2.There is no other clutter higher than the gate before the first bottom surface echo(otherwise the thickness of the clutter will be measured).
Sometimes,there are many conditions that cannot meet the above requirements,such as severe near-surface corrosion,coarse-grained materials(such as cast iron),aluminum materials,small diameter tubes,ultra-thin plates,rough surfaces,unevenness in the material,internal defects,the laminated structure,etc.
UM-5 series ultrasonic thickness testers can easily solve the above problems:
1.The height of gain and gate can be adjusted to make the first bottom surface echo higher than the gate;
2.The blanking function can invalidate other clutter before the first bottom surface echo.
UM-5 Series Main Features
Through Coating Function
Removing paint's coating is not required Zero point calibration is not required,High stability, Zero drift
Measuring range in E/E mode in steel is 3-50mm, coating thickness less than 8mm
Large Digital Display
YUSHl UM-5 series thickness gauge with large font size make it easier for observing.
Live A-scan Display
A-Scan shows the signal that is beingmeasured, enables operator to verify the thickness reading.
Time-based B-scan Display
Cross section view of the material used to observe the opposite/blind surface and automatically capture the min.value.
Alarm Mode & Max./Min.
The reading flashes and color changes when in alarm statues. The measured value, min. and max, value can be displayed.
Difference/Reduction Rate Display
Display the differ between measured value and preset value, and percentage of thickness reduced after the material is thinned.
Larger Memory
100,000 readings and 1,000 waveforms,can be stored, USB 2.0 full speed interface with software.

Normal Display Modes of UM-5 Series
THICKNESS VALUE MODE
The default interface. This interface mainly shows the present thickness value with large digits.
1-the present thickness value ,2-probe types, gain degree, single-echo, measuring units ,3-material velocity ,4-battery power display,5-A-scan interface
DIFFERENCE/RATE-OF-REDUCTION MODE
The interface displays the Difference (the difference between the measured thickness and the nominal thickness) and Reduction (the difference as a percentage of the nominal thickness).
1-the difference between the nominal value and the measured value,2-the ratio between the difference and the nominal value,3-the currently measured thickness value,4-the nominal value,5-difference signal,6-material velocity,7-battery power,8-A-scan interface ,9-probe type, gain degree, single echo, measurement unit
LIMITS VALUE SCANNING MODE
This mode allows the user to catch the real-time maximum and minimum thicknesses when test the thickness of material continuously.
1-the current measured value,2-the maximum value,3-the minimum value,4-unit,5-material velocity,6-battery power,7-A-scan interface,8-rese
