The Panametrics- NDT™ 25MX PLUS is an ultrasonic precision thickness gage that
provides cost-effective solutions in applications where the opposite side of the
test material is difficult or impossible to reach. Multipoint and single
thickness measurements can be made on a wide variety of materials including
metal, plastic, rubber, glass, fiberglass, and composites.

Mx-8 Multiplexer
Number of Channels: 1 to 8, user selectable
Channel Switching Rate: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 20 Hz, user
selectable
Size: 3.2" x 5.9" x 1.25"(149.9 mm x 81.3 mm x 31.8 mm)

Multipoint Thickness Measurements
Connected to the
optional MX-8 multiplexer, the 25MX PLUS has the ability to collect and display
thickness measurements from up to 8 separate transducers.
Special software
on the 25MX PLUS
allows the user to select:
- Number of channels (1-8)
- Mux Mode
- Off
-
Single Channel (manual switching)
-
Single
Sequence (switch through selected channels on command)
-
Sequence
(continuous channel switching)
- Channel Rate (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 20 Hz;
thickness output and channel number)
Single Thickness Measurements
The
25MX PLUS operates as a 'standard' precision thickness gage when not connected
to the MX-8 Multiplexer.
TECHNICAL Specifications
Measurements
|
Mode 1: |
Time interval between excitation pulse and
first backwall echo, using contact transducers. |
| Mode 2: |
Time interval between the first interface
echo after the excitation pulse and the first backwall echo, using delay line
or
immersion transducers. |
| Mode 3: |
Time interval between successive backwall
echoes following the first interface echo after the excitation pulse, using
delay line or immersion transducers. |
Thickness Measurement Range:
Steel: 0.006 - 20.000 inches
(0.150 - 508.00 mm)
Plastic: 0.003 - 2.0000 inches
