All Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges should be calibrated to the velocity of sound of the material being measured. Coatings have a different velocity of sound than metal and it is important they are not included in the measurement. Triple echo ensures all coatings are completely eliminated from the measurement.How it works:A transmitted ultrasound pulse travels though both the coating and the metal and reflects from the back wall. The returned echo then reverberates within the metal, with only a small portion of the echo travelling back through the coating each time. The timing between the small echoes gives us the timing of the echoes within the metal, which relate to the metal thickness. The returned echoes need not be consecutive as the gauge will interpret them automatically and calculate the thickness. A minimum of three echoes is checked each time. This is referred to as the Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS).
