Olympus 38DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gage

 Olympus 38DL Plus
The 38DL PLUS is an innovative instrument that signals a new era in ultrasonic thickness gaging. Ideally suited for almost every ultrasonic thickness application, this handheld thickness gage is fully compatible with a full line of dual and single element transducers. The versatile 38DL PLUS can be used in applications ranging from wall thinning measurements of internally corroded pipes with dual element probes to very precise thickness measurements of thin or multilayer materials with single element transducers.

The 38DL PLUS comes standard with many powerful but easy-to-use measurement features and a host of application-specific software options. Its sealed case is designed to meet IP67 requirements to withstand the rigors of very wet or dusty environments. The color transflective VGA display provides superior readability from bright sunlight to complete darkness. It features a simple, ergonomic keypad that can be operated with the left or right hand for easy access to all functions.

The 38DL PLUS is designed to meet the challenges of demanding applications and built to withstand tough conditions in the field and on the production floor. Whether you work in very wet or dusty conditions, cold or hot climates, or bright or dark areas, the 38DL PLUS can handle any inspection job. Need an instrument tough enough to tolerate shocks, drops, and rough handling? The 38DL PLUS with its protective rubber boot and designed for IP67 rating is your answer.

Thickness Measurements on Internally Corroded Metals
One of the major applications of the 38DL PLUS is measuring the remaining thickness of pipes, tubes, tanks, pressure vessels, hulls, and other structures affected by corrosion or erosion. Dual element transducers are most commonly used for these applications:

• Automatic Probe Recognition for standard D79X series dual element transducers
• Ten custom dual element transducer setups
• Optimized default gain during calibration for dual element transducer
• V-Path Builder for custom V-path compensation
• Calibration Doubling warning when echo doubling may occur during calibration
• THRU-COAT® and Echo-to-Echo measurements on painted and coated surfaces
• High temperature measurements; up to 500 °C (932 °F)
• Boiler tube and Internal Oxide measurements (optional) with M2017 or M2091 single element transducers
• EMAT transducer (E110-SB) for no-couplant measurements of boiler tubes with external oxide/scale buildup

Data Logger and PC Interface
The 38DL PLUS has a full-featured internal bidirectional alphanumeric data logger that is designed to easily collect and transfer thickness readings and waveform data:

• Internal memory of 475,000 thickness readings or 20,000 waveforms with thickness readings
• 32 Character File name
• 20 Character ID# (TML#)
• 9 file formats: Incremental, Sequential, Sequential with custom point, 2-D Grid, 2-D Grid with custom point, 3-D Grid, 3-D custom, Boiler, and Manual 
• The ability to store up to 4 comments (notes) per ID# (TML)
• Stores comments (notes) at an ID# or to a Range of ID#â??s
• Internal and External MicroSD memory cards
• File copy with the ability to copy files between Internal/External MicroSD memory cards
• Standard USB and RS-232 communication
• Two-way transfer of both single and dual element transducer setups
• Onboard statistical report
• Onboard DB Grid View with three programmable colors
• GageViewâ?¢ interface program can communicate with the 38DL PLUS using the USB, RS-232 ports, and can read and write to a MicroSD memory card.
• Direct export of internal files to MicroSD memory card in Excel compatible CSV (comma-separated values) format
