TIME2190 High-End Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge: A Precision Guardian Safeguarding Industrial Lifelines

In industries such as petrochemicals, energy and power, and urban gas supply, pipeline systems are like the "blood vessels" of the human body; their wall thickness and integrity directly affect the safety and lifespan of the entire system. Corrosion, erosion, and wear are the three major "silent killers" of pipeline wall thinning. Traditional detection methods often require shutdown, stripping of insulation layers, or even destructive sampling, which are costly and inefficient. TIME2190, a high-end ultrasonic thickness gauge launched by TIME, is redefining the standards for online monitoring and preventative maintenance of industrial pipelines with its three core technologies: ultra-high precision, intelligent penetration, and digital imaging.

1. Technological Breakthrough: Why Can the TIME2190 Penetrate Coatings and Rust Layers for Direct Thickness Measurement?

Traditional thickness gauges suffer from severe acoustic signal attenuation when faced with paint, anti-corrosion layers, or severe rust on pipe surfaces, leading to measurement failures or data distortion. The TIME2190 addresses this industry pain point through the following innovations:

1) Intelligent Multi-Layer Echo Recognition Technology
The instrument's built-in high dynamic range receiver and adaptive filtering algorithm clearly separate multiple weak echoes from the coating/rust interface and the back wall of the pipe substrate.

Through advanced signal processing, it automatically calculates the propagation time of the sound wave in the coating and accurately subtracts it from the total time, directly providing the true wall thickness of the pipe substrate without the need for manual removal of the surface coating.

2) Wideband High-Damping Probe and Pulse Optimization
Equipped with a dedicated dual-crystal/single-crystal penetration probe, it emits stronger and better-focused ultrasonic pulses, effectively penetrating fiberglass insulation layers up to 15mm thick or heavily corroded products.

The automatic zero-point calibration function eliminates systematic errors caused by probe wear and coupling agent differences.

3) High-resolution color touch screen and B-scan imaging: The instrument not only displays digital thickness values, but can also activate B-scan mode to move the probe along the pipe axis and generate a cross-sectional thickness profile image of a section of the pipe in real time, making corrosion depressions and gradual changes in wall thickness readily apparent.

2. Core Performance Parameters: The Data Foundation of Reliability

Measurement Range: 0.75mm ~ 300mm (steel, depending on the probe).

Display Resolution: 0.01mm / 0.1mm selectable.

Measurement Accuracy: ±(0.5%H + 0.01)mm, meeting stringent standards such as ASME B31.3.

Sound Velocity Range: 500 ~ 9999 m/s, widely applicable to materials such as steel, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, plastics, and glass.

Data Storage: Can store over 100,000 measurements and A-scan waveforms.

Environmental Adaptability: IP65 protection rating, suitable for various harsh environments such as outdoor and workshop environments.

TIME2190 high-end ultrasonic thickness gauge has transcended the realm of traditional measuring tools, evolving into a mobile pipeline health data center. It transforms hidden thickness data into a visualized safety map in a non-destructive manner, enabling engineers to shift from reactive inspection to proactive predictive maintenance.

In the era of Industry 4.0 and digital twins, the high-precision, traceable thickness data collected by the TIME2190 is a crucial input for building digital models of "smart pipelines." It is not only a "stethoscope" for discovering hidden dangers but also a "smart brain" for assessing lifespan and optimizing maintenance plans, ultimately providing irreplaceable technical support for ensuring the long-term safe operation of industrial arteries. Choosing the TIME2190 means choosing to equip your pipeline system with a tireless, precision guardian.
