Olympus 37DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gage

The Panametrics-NDT Olympus 37DL PLUS is an advanced nondestructive ultrasonic thickness gage that combines powerful measurement features with sophisticated data acquisition and output capabilities for applications involving pipes, tanks, and other metal structures subject to internal corrosion or erosion. The 37DL PLUS includes many innovative features that simplify true metal thickness measurements even when the exposed surface is coated or painted. The patented Thru-Coat technology measures and displays the thickness of the metal part and its coating using a ‘single backwall echo’. A Oxide/ Scale option measures and displays the thickness of the steel and the oxide/scale build-up on the inside of boiler tubes to help predict tube life. Accuracy of high temperature thickness measurements can be improved by using the Temperature Compensation feature that adjusts the material velocity for changes in material temperature. A new Average/Min mode saves the average or minimum of several successive thickness measurements.

The A-scan display is bright with great contrast and visibility. Every thickness reading in a stored B-scan can be reviewed on the 37DL PLUS and in the Interface Program. The user can select to view (Min/ Max, Alarm, or A-scan flags) flags with Grid points. The file-based alphanumeric datalogger can use longer file names (32 character max) and ID numbers (20 character max). Grid files can be expanded by adding rows or columns or by changing the incrementing direction.
