Product information Echometer 1077

The ECHOMETER 1077 with A-Scan comes with individual gate selection and measurement at zero crossing of the signal to ensure highly precise measured values with a measurement uncertainty of up to 0.01 mm, e.g. to meet the requirements of precision tube manufacturing or car body pressing. The measurements can be executed based on the multiple echo principle; as well single element transducers with or without delay line may be employed.

Main features:

Automatic probe recognition
When the unit is switched on or in case of probe change the data of the probe including its frequency spectrum become determined. This permits automatic selection of the probe parameters.

The A-scan display shows the echo curve
The high-resolution A-scan of the ultrasound signal is especially useful with material that is difficult to measure in terms of sound properties, so to optimize measuring parameters, such as measuring range and evaluation of the signal polarity.

Travel time controls gain
Besides manual and automatic gain adjustment you may select a time-dependent gain correction to compensate for the signal damping of the (up to four) first echoes so they show at the same screen height. This ensures that more well evaluable multiple echoes are available without signal clipping, especially with materials of high signal damping.

High measuring rate
The high measuring rate of up to 100 Hz ensures detection also of small defects when dynamic material scanning is applied. This is particularly helpful in those cases where the residual wall thickness of corroded materials needs to be measured fast and accurately.

Memory and statistics evaluation of Echometer 1077
Readings and instrument configuration may be stored conveniently in files and transferred to a computer. The statistics evaluation provides minimum and maximum values, mean and standard deviation.

Plain text menu: Selectable from many languages
The user-friendly, multi-lingual menu guidance in plain text ensures optimum measurement selection, as easy as pie.

New: Also available as a multichannel rack version
For automated, multichannel operation with ample control features the A-Scan ECHOMETER 1077 is available as a module for mounting into a 19″ rack

The ECHOMETER 1077 uses single and dual element probes. Single element probes may be used with or without delay line.

Besides probes from the KARL DEUTSCH scope of delivery it is possible, in most cases, to use probes already available with the customer. Physical precondition for this is a broadband frequency response to generate clearly defined short pulse and echo signals.

In contradiction to conventionally designed gauges the A-scan and the measuring points contained therein can be used to judge especially well whether the probe is suitable for the given measurement task.

Quite often in materials testing, the specimens to be examined by the ECHOMETER 1077 are protected by a varnish or plastics coating against environmental impact. Other materials in turn comprise several layers and the thickness to be measured pertains only to one of the different layers.

The ECHOMETER 1077 is able to measure most accurately through coated material and with multi-layer substrates, too:

By means of the BW-BW measuring method the measurement exclusively determines the transit time of successive back wall echoes or echoes generated by separating layers. This permits the determination of wall thickness also through coatings or separating layers providing high accuracy. Usually this only requires echoes of sufficient height at the separating transition zones.

Possible coating thickness:
A varnish or plastics layer thickness may have a thickness of up to 4 mm. However, in real life coatings of up to 8 mm thickness often do not pose a problem (depending on material)

The convenient menu guidance is selectable from many languages, is very user-friendly and appears in comprehensible plain language. Therefore the measuring parameters can be adjusted and modified very simply.

Understandable and plausible symbols on ECHOMETER 1077 inform on the current operating status.

In display mode “Measuring Result Only” three function keys with freely assignable menu topics are available.

Freely nameable folders and files assist with data storage, just as you are used to on a PC.

The readings are displayed in large and clear digits, optionally together with the current statistics data.

A backlight illumination of the display ensures a convenient operation also in poor light conditions.

The expansion module Matrix + B-Scan + Extended Storage (art. no. 1910.002) can be activated at any time via a code. The extended memory provides 25 additional data memory locations for up to 999 readings each.

B-scan: The gauge generates a detailed cross-sectional image of the scanned material region. The scaling of the display is automatic or manual.

Matrix memory: The readings are tabulated in matrix form. Weak spots are shown in a different colour and can be localized accurately.
(2 to 19 lines, 2 to 19 columns, up to 225 matrix cells)

 

The compact size of the gauge (13.1 cm x 8.1 cm x 3.2 cm, incl. rubber protective holster), the minimal power consumption and the long service life of commercially available batteries make the ECHOMETER 1077 ready for versatile daily use.

The instrument is as easy as 150 g and yet robust and splash-proof and it can be operated conveniently with only one hand.

Additional mechanical protection and slip resistance is provided by a rubber holster with integrated stand.

A practical carrying case (left, with sample of equipment) is part of the delivery of the ECHOMETER 1077.
