Mitech MT160 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

Mitech MT160 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

Product Overview

The Mitech MT160 is a digital ultrasonic thickness gauge designed for fast, precise, and non-destructive measurement of material thickness. Utilizing advanced ultrasonic pulse-echo technology, it measures thickness from only one accessible side of the object, making it particularly useful for corrosion and erosion inspections in pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels. The device is compatible with a wide range of materials including metal, plastic, glass, ceramic, and composites, and is commonly used in petroleum, chemical, shipbuilding, aerospace, and manufacturing industries.

Functions and Applications

• Measures thickness of materials such as steel, aluminum, plastic, ceramics, glass, and composites

• Useful for detecting internal corrosion and erosion in industrial equipment

• Ideal for inspection of pipelines, storage tanks, boilers, and structural components

• Supports high-temperature and coarse-grained material probes for expanded use

• Widely applicable in industries requiring maintenance, safety checks, and quality control

Working Principle

The MT160 measures thickness using ultrasonic pulse-echo technology. A probe sends an ultrasonic wave into the material, which reflects back from the opposite surface. The device calculates thickness based on the time interval between sending and receiving the pulse using the formula:

H = v × t / 2
Where:

• H = Thickness

• v = Speed of sound in the material

• t = Round-trip time of the pulse

Key Features

• Provides zero and two-point calibration with automatic error compensation

• Features sound velocity measurement mode for unknown materials

• Displays real-time coupling status to ensure accurate probe contact

• Equipped with a backlit display for use in low-light environments

• Displays battery level in real-time

• Auto-sleep and auto-shutdown functions to extend battery life

• Rugged design for use in harsh environments; resistant to impact and interference

• USB interface for data communication and software connectivity

Usage Tips

• For curved surfaces or pipes, orient the probe correctly based on diameter

• Use high-temperature probes and calibrate accordingly for measurements above 100°C

• For laminated materials, calibrate using the same material type to ensure consistency

• Apply an appropriate couplant (gel, oil, water) to facilitate sound transmission

• Watch for false double-echoes and confirm measurement accuracy through repeat testing

Maintenance

• Keep the device clean and dry, and avoid use in magnetic or corrosive environments

• Store in a protective case when not in use to avoid damage

• Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself—contact authorized service providers

• Transport the device using its original packaging for added protection
