LIABILITY

Ultrasonic testing is a function of using the proper equipment

(electronics, transducer, cable and couplant combination) for the

inspection and a qualified operator who knows how to use this manual,

the instruments and all calibration procedures. The improper use of this

equipment, along with the improper calibration can cause serious

damage to components, factories, facilities, personal injury and even

death.

ALL FLIR SYSTEMS ULTRASONIC THICKNESS GAUGES ARE

NOT INTRINSICALLY SAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN

ANY HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE AREAS.

It is understood that the operator of this equipment is a well-trained

inspector qualified by either their own company or another outside

agency to issue Ultrasonic Level I, 40 hour class room training in

Ultrasonic Theory. Flir Systems and any of its employees or

representatives shall not be held responsible for improper use of this

equipment for its intended use. Proper training, a complete

understanding of Ultrasonic wave propagation, thorough reading of this

manual, proper transducer selection, correct zeroing of the transducer,

correct sound velocity, proper test blocks, proper cable length, proper

couplant selection all play a factor in successful ultrasonic thickness

gaging. Special care should be taken when test pieces have rough or

painted surfaces, particularly those applications where the test piece is

thin to begin with as doubling of the echoes is possible even if the

transducer is capable of measuring the desired thickness. As transducers

wear or heat up, results can be either too thin due to a lack of sensitivity

as a result of wear or too thick due to heating up of the transducer,

referred to as “drift.”

About the TKG Series

The TKG100 and TKG150 are portable, digital,

handheld thickness gauges. The TKG series of ultrasonic

thickness gauges are specifically designed to measure the

remaining wall thickness of primarily steel structures.

Vibralarm (vibrates gauge below/above

minimum/maximum thickness value)

Illuminating keypad for easy to view go-no go

thickness values (patent pending)

Automatic transducer replacement intelligence

built in (patent pending)

Unique, programmable left-hand/right-hand

operation (patent pending)

Up to 200 hour battery life with 2 AA batteries

Small, easy to hold, ergonomic, custom molded,

durable case with rubber keypad

Automatic zero capability

Gain boost

The TKG100 is a base gauge offering a simple user

interface packaged in the same custom molded high-

density plastic case with rubber keypad as the other more

sophisticated models. This gauge offers reliable, accurate

thickness readings on mostly steel structures with access

to only one side.

The TKG150 contains all the same features of the

TKG100 plus:

50,000 (expandable to 100,000) reading

datalogger capacity with complete setup

tracking

Three pre-set files for linear, grid (row advance)

and grid (column advance)

Echo-to-Echo

B-scan

Probe Zero

When turning on the TKG100 or TKG150 (for the sake

of this manual, with the exception of the datalogger, B-

scan, and Echo-to-Echo features, the two model

numbers are interchangeable for the basic operation and

calibration), the gauge does an automatic zeroing of the

transducer (after the user selects the transducer from the

list) thus eliminating the need for an on-block zero. The

TKG100 and TKG150 will electronically zero the

transducer upon power up and at a particular time during

normal operation. This feature ensures the transducer is

working in accordance with electronic zeroing

procedures. This feature is particularly important on high

temperature materials and when the transducer becomes

worn.

Important Notice: Please make sure the transducer

is not coupled to the test piece when the gauge is first

turned on and that there is no couplant on the end of

the transducer. The transducer should also be at room

temperature, clean without any noticeable wear.
