Elcometer Speed of Sound Through Materials >

Speed of Sound Through Materials

Elcometer Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges can be calibrated by the user for the appropriate material in two ways:

Set the calibration to the thickness of the known standard of the same material
Set the frequency calibration to the appropriate value using the velocity chart below

The Elcometer 204 is pre-calibrated for Steel only.
