25 MULTI PLUS
 The Panametrics-NDT™ Model 25 MULTI PLUS is an advanced ultrasonic precision
thickness gage with several unique measurement capabilities. In addition to
making thickness measurements on metal, plastic and many other materials with
varying thickness ranges, the 25 MULTI PLUS has the ability to calculate and
simultaneously display up to four separate measurements. The Summation Mode
accurately displays total thickness of selected layers.
Another unique
feature of the 25 MULTI PLUS is the Barrier Layer Mode. This feature makes it
possible to measure critical barrier layers in multilayer plastic parts such as
gas fuel tanks and bottle preforms. This special Mode displays the thickness of
thin barrier layers that are typically too difficult to measure with
conventional ultrasonic thickness gages because of lack of separation between
the echo from the front and back of the barrier layer.
Applications
-
Multilayer fuel tanks
- Multilayer plastic bottle preforms
- Calculating radius of curvature and the
thickness of contact lenses
- Multilayer aircraft windows
- Co-extruded
plastic
- Two layer hot tubs and spas
- Two layer automotive air intake
ducts
Features
- A-scan Display for Waveform Verification
- Wide Thickness Range: 0.003" to
20.000" (0.08 mm- 508.00 mm)
- Resolution up to 0.0001" (0.001 mm)
- Uses Contact, Delay Line, and Immersion transducers
- Internal Alphanumeric
File-Based Datalogger stores 18,000 thickness or 1,750 waveforms
- Application Auto-Recall with Stored Standard and Custom Setups
The 25 MULTI PLUS calculates and simultaneously displays thickness
measurements of up to four individual layers. It also displays total thickness
of selected layers.The 25 MULTI PLUS measures thickness of barrier layers in
applications such as plastic fuel tanks and bottle preforms.
