The Mitech MT160 is a high-performance digital ultrasonic thickness gauge designed for accurate, non-destructive thickness measurements of a wide range of materials including metals, plastics, ceramics, glass, and other ultrasonic conductors. It utilizes advanced ultrasonic pulse-echo technology to determine material thickness from a single accessible surface, making it ideal for monitoring corrosion or erosion in pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels. Widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, the MT160 provides reliable and precise results even in challenging environments.
Functions & Applications
Measures the thickness of metals, plastics, ceramics, glass, composites, and more
Supports specialized transducers for coarse-grained or high-temperature materials
Ideal for corrosion monitoring, quality control, and maintenance inspections
Suitable for pipes, containers, sheet metals, and machined parts
Working Principle
The MT160 calculates thickness by emitting an ultrasonic pulse into the material and measuring the time it takes for the echo to return. The formula used is: H = v × t / 2 Where:
H = Thickness
v = Sound velocity in the material
t = Two-way transit time of the pulse
