TI-CMX Ultrasonic Coating & Wall Thickness Gauge


Made in the USAAvailable in three different versions:

  • TI-CMX: standard model
  • TI-CMX-H: Model with a special probe for high temperatures up to 150 ° C
  • TI-CMX-2225: Model with 1/4 "2.25 MHz probe for thin materials

With the CHECKLINE® TI-CMX you can accurately and quickly measure both coating and wall thickness—from only one side. It is also possible to measure and eliminate the coating from the wall thickness measurement by switching the TI-CMX to the Pulse-Echo mode. This way the user can locate the finest corrosion and pitting—without removing the coating.

The TI-CMX is provided with an oversized graphic LCD which is backlit and displays fonts, graphics and display codes. It also shows all important settings like: Operating Mode, Velocity, Scan Mode, Alarms and other options. The user can set the backlight to the following settings: ON, OFF or AUTO meaning: always-on, always-off or automatically-on when measuring.

The device includes five user-selected operating modes:

Temperature Compensated: Measures wall thickness using Pulse-Echo and automatically adjusts calibration to compensate for changes in material temperature.

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.

Thru-Coat: Measures wall thickness only using Echo-Echo. (coating is NOT included)

Coating Only: Measures coating thickness only.


Features
  • Wide variety of dual-element probes can be used for nearly any application.
  • Bar graph with user-set start end values providing highest resolution around the target thickness value.
  • Measures both thickness of coatings and paint layers, as well as wall thickness (in one measurement)
  • Adjustable Gain 110db range (TDG - Time Dependent Gain)
  • Setups and measuring data can be transferred to a computer using USB connection
  • Includes NIST-Traceable Calibration.
  • Auto probe recognition with Auto Zero or Manual Zero.
  • Differential Mode allows user to set a "target thickness value" and display will show the DIFFERENCE between actual and target thickness as a plus or minus value.
  • 64 custom setups can be stored and retrieved for convenient use and labeled for easy identification
  • Display Hi/Lo Alarm Limits with audible and visual indicators.
  • Metal housing provides strong protection against harsh environments.
  • CE Certified.
  • 2 Year Warranty
  • TI-CMX-H for surface temps up to 300°F/150°C. Optional hi-temp probes for higher surface temperatures offered
  • Measures Coatings up to 0.100"

High Speed Scan Mode & B-Scan Mode
Hi-Speed Scan Mode (200 Hz) B-Scan Mode
High Speed Scan Mode B-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. 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.
