The Checkline TI-CMX Ultrasonic Coating & Wall Thickness Gauge measures both coating and wall thickness quickly and accurately - from only one side. In addition, when switched to Pulse-Echo mode, the Checkline TI-CMX Ultrasonic Coating & Wall Thickness Gauge automatically measures and eliminates the coating from the wall thickness measurement, enabling the user to locate the finest corrosion and pitting - without removing the coating.

Oversized graphic LCD is backlit and features easy to read fonts, graphics and display codes showing all critical settings including Velocity, Operating Mode, Alarms, Scan Mode and more. The backlight can be set to ON (always-on), OFF (always-off) or AUTO (automatically-on when measuring).

Five user-selected operating modes are included:

• Coating On: Measures wall thickness using Pulse-Echo. It separately displays wall & coating thickness.
• Coating Off: Measures wall thickness using Pulse-Echo. It displays wall thickness only.
• Temperature Compensated: Measures wall thickness using Pulse-Echo and automatically adjusts calibration to compensate for changes in material temperature.
• Thru-Coat: Measures wall thickness only using Echo-Echo. (coating is NOT included)
• Coating Only: Measures coating thickness only

High Speed Scan Mode & B-Scan Mode

Hi-Speed Scan Mode 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.

B-Scan Mode 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. the B-Scan view draws at a rate of seven seconds per screen from right to left.
