Material velocity: Is the speed sound waves travel through a material. Every material has its own velocity, the gauge multiplies the velocity with the measured time and divides it in two to determine the thickness. Calibrating the material means determining and setting the correct velocity for a material.
- As the material velocity changes with temperature it is important to determine the material velocity close to the temperature you are planning to measure.
- The TI-CMX gauges use separate velocities for Substrate and Coating, both have to be set correctly to achieve a correct measurement when measuring in PECT mode.

Pulse - Echo measurements: Measurement mode where a transducer sends an ultrasonic signal through the material until it bounces back from the back-wall. The echo is received by the transducer and the travel time is measured. Echo - Echo measurements: Measures the time between the first and second echo, this eliminates the coating as it only measures the base wall material. Echo - Echo measurements require a high dampening probe and there are limitations to the minimum and maximum wall thickness compared to Pulse - Echo measurements. Echo-Echo-Verify measurements: Also known as triple echo mode, it uses additional echoes to confirm measurement accuracy, ideal for applications requiring meticulous data validation. |

Scan Bar Display: A linear graphic line graphically showing changes in thickness readings. The scale range is user adjustable by the user making it ideal for observing tiny variations in material thicknesses.
B-Scan display: Shows a cross sectional 2D block view of the thickness when scanning a surface, providing a graphical map of the material thickness measured from one side.
A-Scan Display: Shows the sine wave created by the reflection of the sound. available in full wave or rectified set to a positive or negative view. A scan is available on the Advanced and Colour versions.
High Speed Scan Mode: Allows for scanning larger areas on a given test material, while still offering reasonable representation of thickness over the area scanned. With a maximum measurement frequency of 140 Hz and a screen refresh rate of 25 times per second.
Limit alarm mode: Sets an upper Hi/Lo lower range, used to verify a material is within a defined thickness range. An audible and/or visual signal can be given when a measurement exceeds a set limit.
Differential Mode: The option to set a nominal value, according to what the expected thickness should be, the display shows the +/- difference from the nominal value entered.
Adjustable gain:The gain, or amplification of the return echoes, can be adjusted manually or automatic (AGC) making it easier to create a good measurement in materials that are more difficult to measure.
Gates: A Gate is an adjustable marker in the time line of a measurement used to evaluate specific parts of the echo signal from the material being tested. It helps to focus on an area and skip false echo's that disrupt the measurement. The TI-CMX-series is equiped with up to 3 gates that can be fine tuned to accommodate a variety of applications.

Dual element transducers are equipped with 2 crystals that operate at a small angle, one sends out the signal and the other receives it. The crystals, separated by a sound barrier, are located further up in the transducer housing with a delay material between them and the substrate. This decreases the dead zone of these transducers. The angle in which the crystals are positioned determine the depth range. Dual Element Transducers are available in sizes from 3/16 to 1/2 inch and frequencies from 1 to 10 MHz. Check the transducer information to learn more about the different transducers and their purpose. Dual element transducers are well suited corrosion survey purposes. To be able to measure coating thickness a CT probe is required! |

| Scan Mode measures 64 times per second, displaying the max and min reading measured during the scan interval. Sample rate is 200/sec when coating measurement is off. | The B-Scan displays a time based cross section view of test material of the contour of the blind, or underside of a pipe or tank application. In this display the coating can be measured as a separate identified layer with its own velocity. | RF A-Scan Display – The actual sound wave reflection that is returned from the detection of the opposite surface of the material being measured. In this view, the entire sine wave is displayed, | RECT A-Scan Display – In this view, only half of the sine wave is being displayed (positive or negative). | RECT A-Scan Display – In this view, with the menu off. The scan view is now showing the coating and wall thickness as separate layers using their own velocities. |
