38DL PLUS® Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge:
Advanced Features, Simple Operation, Rugged, Reliable

The 38DL PLUS is an innovative instrument that signals a new era in ultrasonic thickness gauging. Ideally suited for almost every ultrasonic thickness application, this handheld thickness gauge is fully compatible with a full line of dual and single element transducers. The versatile 38DL PLUS can be used in applications ranging from wall thinning measurements of internally corroded pipes with dual element probes to very precise thickness measurements of thin or multilayer materials with single element transducers.

The 38DL PLUS comes standard with many powerful but easy-to-use measurement features and a host of application-specific software options. Its sealed case is designed to meet IP67 requirements to withstand the rigors of very wet or dusty environments. The color transflective VGA display provides superior readability from bright sunlight to complete darkness. It features a simple, ergonomic keypad that can be operated with the left or right hand for easy access to all functions.

38-Link™ Wireless Communication Adaptor
The optional 38-Link wireless adaptor enables any existing 38DL PLUS thickness gauge to send and receive data using Bluetooth® or wireless LAN*.

The 38-Link adaptor provides three powerful wireless communication capabilities:

  • Wireless communication to the Olympus Scientific Cloud™ (OSC) and the Inspection Project Manager (IPM) app, which allows you to more effectively manage your inspections and much more
  • Bluetooth communication to the Olympus Link mobile app or other compatible third-party applications
  • Bluetooth communication to the optional Link-Wedge software to directly send thickness readings into an active Windows® program on your Windows 10 PC

 

For more details, see the 38-Link page, or download the 38-Link brochure.

*Wireless LAN and Bluetooth dongle availability depends on your region. Contact your local Olympus sales representative for more information.
