Olympus 38DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
The 38DL PLUS is an innovative instrument that signals a new era in ultrasonic thickness gauging. Ideally suited for almost every ultrasonic thickness application, this handheld thickness gauge is fully compatible with a full line of dual and single element transducers. The versatile 38DL PLUS can be used in applications ranging from wall thinning measurements of internally corroded pipes with dual element probes to very precise thickness measurements of thin or multilayer materials with single element transducers.

Dual element transducer measurement mode | Time interval from a precision delay after the excitation pulse to the first echo |
THRU-COAT® measurement | Measurement of true metal and coating thicknesses with a single back-wall echo (with D7906-SM and D7908 transducers) |
Thru-Paint Echo-to-Echo | Time interval between two successive back-wall echoes to eliminate paint or coating thickness |
Single element transducer measurement modes | Mode 1: Time interval between the excitation pulse and the first back-wall echo Mode 2: Time interval between the delay line echo and the first back-wall echo (with delay or immersion transducers) Mode 3: Time interval between successive back-wall echoes following the first interface echo after the excitation pulse (with delay line or immersion transducers) Oxide: optional Multilayer mode: optional |
