NM01ALPHGCDLW
The Sonatest ALPHAGAGE+ CDLW is a high-performance, handheld ultrasonic corrosion thickness gauge designed for accurate measurement of material thickness, particularly in structures affected by corrosion or erosion. The "CDLW" designation indicates key features: Color display, Data Logger, and Wave Form (A-Scan) display.
As a primary inspection tool for corrosion assessment, the ALPHAGAGE+ CDLW utilizes dual element transducers in a Pitch & Catch configuration to minimize surface interference and accurately measure the remaining wall thickness of various metallic structures susceptible to corrosion. It's an essential instrument for inspecting aging assets and solving problems in industries like Oil & Gas and Petrochemicals.
Key Features:
Corrosion Gauge: Optimized for measuring the remaining wall thickness of metallic structures affected by corrosion.
Color Display: Features a vibrant, high-resolution color TFT display for clear readings and waveform visualization.
Data Logger: Offers extensive data storage capabilities with location IDs, compatible with Microsoft Excel for reporting and analysis.
Wave Form (A-Scan) Display: Provides a live A-scan for signal verification and accurate gate placement.
Echo-to-Echo Through Coatings: Measures true metal thickness without removing coatings.
Wide Thickness Range: Suitable for a broad range of material thicknesses in steel, typically from 0.508 mm to 584 mm (0.020" to 23"), depending on the probe.
High Measurement Rate: Offers a selectable measurement rate of 4 Hz or 25 Hz.
Fast Min/Max Mode: Captures and displays the minimum and maximum thickness readings during a scan.
Alarm Functions: Features vibrate, beep, or color change on alarm for out-of-tolerance readings.
User-Definable Setups: Stores numerous custom calibration setups for different materials and transducers.
Material Velocity Library: Includes a library of common material velocities with the option for custom settings.
Rugged and Ergonomic Design: IP67 rated enclosure for demanding environments with simple one-hand operation.
Long Battery Life: Up to 27 hours of continuous operation with a rechargeable Li-ion battery (recharged via USB).
Multiple Languages: Supports various user interface languages.
Applications:
Inspection of metal pipelines, pressure vessels, and storage tanks for corrosion.
Thickness monitoring of structural components.
Corrosion mapping and profiling of aging assets.
Quality control in manufacturing and fabrication.
In-service inspection and maintenance programs across various industries, including Power Generation, Oil & Gas, and Service sectors.
