Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-1M-IP
Industrial inspection equipment
Overview
The NOVOTEST UT-1M-IP Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is designed for industrial thickness measurement in environments where dust, moisture and exposure to rain can make conventional electronic instruments difficult to operate. Its sealed housing and enhanced environmental protection make it suitable for inspection teams working in demanding industrial conditions, including outdoor maintenance and field inspection activities. The UT-1M-IP supports normal, B-scan and thickness-limit control modes. Its published measurement range for steel is 0.45–1,500 mm, depending on the selected probe and inspection conditions. It offers a measurement resolution of 0.01 mm and supports conventional echo and echo-echo measurement methods with suitable probes. The instrument also provides measurement archiving and data-transfer options for inspection documentation. Its published standard protection rating is IP65, with an optional configuration offering protection up to IP67 for specified immersion conditions. The IP-rated housing is particularly relevant to industrial users who need additional protection against dust and water exposure. However, the specified protection rating should be considered alongside the manufacturer's operating instructions and the actual conditions at the inspection site. For Indian industries such as steel fabrication, infrastructure maintenance, manufacturing and industrial plant inspection, the UT-1M-IP can support thickness measurement in environments where a sealed instrument housing is an important purchasing requirement. Buyers should consider the required probe frequency, inspection range, surface conditions, operating environment and preferred data-transfer method.
