Racing Thickness Gauge – Sonic Tester RX8-DL Features

Time-Based B-Scan: Displays a cross-section of the opposite surface, helping engine builders see the back surface contour in cylinders.

Multi-Mode (Echo-Echo): Measures chassis tubing with or without paint and coatings, with automatic gain control.

Precision Gain Adjustment: Five-position gain switch in 3dB (40-52dB) for better performance with noisy or hard-to-penetrate materials.

Versatile Calibration: Multiple calibration options for different applications.

Custom Storage: Save up to 64 custom setups, with factory presets for common uses.

Advanced Data Logging: Designed for engine builders and chassis inspectors, with cylinder mapping and alphanumeric file storage.

High-Speed Scanning: Captures up to 200 measurements per second, recording minimum and maximum thickness in real time.

Visual & Audible Alarms: Set high and low limits to alert inspectors when measurements exceed tolerance levels.
