25HP PLUS

The Panametrics® 25HP PLUS is an advanced ultrasonic gage that makes thickness, material velocity, and time of flight measurements on materials such as composites, fiberglass, plastic, rubber, and cast metals that are difficult or impossible to measure using standard ultrasonic gages. Measuring sound velocity with this gage allows monitoring of changes in material properties such as the degree of nodularity in cast metals.
The 25HP PLUS features a large LCD that displays both the selected type of measurement in bold numerals and the live ultrasound waveform. This unique gage features a host of standard measurement features and a sophisticated alphanumeric file-based datalogger.

Features
