7. 014 Proceq SA 3 2 Tutorial The Zonotip Zonotip is designed to measure the thicknesses of ferrous and non ferrous metals as well as products made of plastics and other materials with a low ultrasonic attenuation It meas ures the double traverse of an ultrasonic pulse through the object under test from one surface to the other see figure 1 This value is then converted into the product thickness value c tO Thickness h J c speed of sound Transducer Objectundertest Figure 1 Determining the thickness of an object by means of ultrasound pulse echo technique The probe has a sharp radiation directivity and ultrasound receiving pattern therefore the product thickness is determined directly under the converter installation place If the material surface op posite to the one on which the probe is installed has cavities the US pulses will be reflected from them and the thickness is determined as the shortest distance from the external surface to these cavities The Zonolink Software included in the package allows downloading the data measured by the Zonotip Zonotip using any PC Communication with the computer is provided through a USB port Practical Advice for Measuring To receive the maximal measurement accuracy make sure that the probe the calibration sample and the test object have roughly the same temperature If the measured velocity of the material differs from the actual velocity revise the velocity manua
