Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-1M-ST
Industrial inspection equipment
Overview
The NOVOTEST UT-1M-ST Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is designed for industrial thickness measurement where equipment durability and resistance to mechanical damage are important purchasing considerations. Its rugged aluminium enclosure distinguishes it from the standard UT-1M model, making it suitable for inspection environments where instruments may be exposed to impact, handling stress and demanding operating conditions. The UT-1M-ST supports normal, B-scan and thickness-limit control modes for industrial thickness measurement. Its published measurement range for steel is 0.45–1,500 mm, depending on the selected probe, material and surface characteristics. The instrument provides a measurement resolution of 0.01 mm and a published basic accuracy of ±(0.01h + 0.05) mm under the specified conditions. Compatible probe options allow users to select configurations according to the required measurement range and application. For Indian fabrication units, engineering companies, industrial maintenance departments and inspection contractors, the UT-1M-ST can be considered for routine thickness measurement of suitable metal components. Its durable metal enclosure is particularly relevant where equipment handling and mechanical protection are important. The instrument also supports measurement-result storage and computer-based data transfer for inspection documentation. Before purchasing the NOVOTEST UT-1M-ST, buyers should assess the required probe frequency, measurement range, material type and inspection conditions. It is also important to evaluate the operating environment, data-transfer requirements, calibration procedure and supplied accessories. Although its aluminium enclosure provides mechanical protection, the published model specifications should be checked to determine whether its environmental protection is suitable for the intended workplace.
