B6-CUltrasonic Thickness Gauge
The B6-C is a portable ultrasonic thickness gauge for one-sided measurement of metals, alloys and suitable non-metallic materials. With dedicated probes, it can determine remaining wall thickness through protective coatings and display ultrasonic signals in A-scan and B-scan modes.
A wide range of probes allows the instrument to be adapted to thin, curved, rough and high-temperature components, making the B6-C suitable for demanding industrial thickness inspection.
Description
The B6-C is designed for ultrasonic thickness and remaining-wall measurements during manufacturing, maintenance and in-service inspection. Typical applications include corrosion and erosion monitoring of pipelines, tanks, pressure vessels, boilers, structural components and other industrial equipment where access is available from only one side.
Depending on the selected probe and measurement mode, the instrument can measure metal thickness through paint and other protective coatings without removing them. Echo-Echo and Pulse-Echo-Coating modes help distinguish the signal reflected from the metal wall from the signal reflected from the coating, while dedicated probes extend the measurement range to thin materials, small-radius surfaces, rough or heavily corroded areas and components with elevated surface temperatures.
The A-scan mode provides visual evaluation of ultrasonic echoes and helps the operator assess signal quality and measurement conditions. B-scan allows thickness variation along the inspected area to be visualized, which is useful for evaluating localized wall thinning and corrosion profiles.
