Since even the smallest miscalculation of the pipe-wall thickness can have a major impact on a clamp-on flowmeter’s accuracy, a pipe thickness gauge needs to be extremely accurate. The Sitrans F US thickness gauge operates at a 5-MHz frequency enabling it to measure even the smallest pipe thickness. Although the thickness gauge was originally designed to increase the accuracy of clamp-on flowmeters, it can be used to measure the thickness of any pipe wall from 0.1 to 200 mm (0.03 to 7.9 in.). It works on various metallic and non-metallic materials, such as steel, aluminum, titanium, plastics and ceramics. — Siemens Energy & Automation, Alpharetta, Ga.
