EMAT Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3M-EMA EMAT Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3M-EMA is a new development of the NOVOTEST company, which will allow our users to solve not only the standard tasks of testing the thickness of metal products, but also to carry out tests in cases where traditional methods, such as piezo-ultrasonic, laser-optical, X-ray, mechanical, etc. – not applicable. Electromagnetic-acoustic (EMA) technology for measuring thickness is based on the excitation of ultrasonic waves in the material by the generator of the device’s probe, and fixing the path time of ultrasonic waves in the material. So, the technology is similar to the most common piezo-ultrasonic method, however, the EMAT Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3M-EMA thickness gauge has several advantages: CONTACTLESS MEASUREMENT The electromagnetic-acoustic thickness gauge allows user to measure the thickness of metal products with one-way access without using couplant through a substantial gap (up to 6 mm). This significantly reduces the material- and laboriousness of the measurement process. MEASUREMENT THROUGH PAINTED, OXIDIZED OR OILY SURFACES EMA technology generates waves directly in the material (ferromagnetic and paramagnetic), thus allowing measurements to be carried out under a coating or with a poorly prepared surface, which may not be feasible with traditional methods. HIGH TEMPERATURE PROBES EMAT Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3M-EMA can be equipped with probes for operation on surfaces heated to a temperature of 600 °C, which makes this device the best, and in some cases, the only possible solution. MEASUREMENT RANGE A significant advantage over competitors is the range of measured thicknesses. The EMAT Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3M-EMA allows measuring walls from 0.5 mm to more than 200 mm, depending on the probe used. THICKNESS GAUGE EXECUTION EMAT Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3M-EMA is made in a durable and lightweight metal case. By special order, the thickness gauge can be made in dust and waterproof design (IP65). The thickness gauge is equipped with lithium-ion high-capacity batteries, which allowed for a long battery life. By special order, the battery capacity can be further increased, which will allow user to operate up to 30 hours from a single battery charge. AUTOMATIC OPERATION MODE AND VARIOUS TYPES OF SIGNAL DISPLAYING The EMAT Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3M-EMA implements a unique operating mode – the device automatically analyzes the measured signals, selects the required measurement method, adjusts the parameters of the receiving path and displays the measured thickness on the device’s screen. Even an unskilled user with this mode will be able to accurately and rapidly measure the thickness of various metal structures and products. By default, the signal in the device is displayed like an A-scan, and the available operating modes allow the operator to evaluate the signals using different methods (PEAK-PEAK, FRONT, ECHO, ECHO-ECHO). Also the B-scan mode is implemented in this thickness gauge, which allows user to get the product profile like a graphical, convenient for perception. Using a specialized carriage for the probes, it becomes possible to scan extended objects and obtain a thickness profile. Also, EMAT Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST UT-3M-EMA comes with special software for operate with the archive of the device, and the subsequent transfer of data for processing in convenient formats.

Aluminium composite panels (ACP) are lightweight, rigid sheets made from two aluminium layers bonded to a polyethylene or mineral-filled core. Also known as aluminium composite board or aluminium composite material, these panels are widely used for signage, displays, cladding, and architectural applications due to their strength, durability, and smooth surface finish.

diamondcutrugs supplies high-quality aluminium composite panels in multiple sizes, thicknesses, and finishes. Easy to cut, route, and fabricate, ACP sheets are ideal for professional sign makers and commercial projects requiring a long-lasting and visually clean material.

Aluminium Composite Panels: Premium ACM Solutions for Australian Projects

If you’ve been in the construction industry for a while, you have likely hit that wall where a client wants something that photographs well, does not cost a lot, and will not warp in Australia after a summer or two.

Sheet aluminium costs a fortune and bends with heat. Acrylic is prone to scratching. Dibond works, but the colour range can be quite limiting.

This is where aluminium composite panels or aluminium composite boards really shine.

  • The material stays flat without fussing.
  • They cut clean on a CNC or guillotine.
  • They survive Melbourne weather without turning into a warped mess.

.. which is more than you can say for half the materials out there.

But not every ACP is built the same. If you spec the wrong one, you’re looking at failed building inspections, panels that fade within 18 months, or worse, having to redo the entire job.

diamondcutrugs is a family-owned business, backed by more than 50 years of experience in the industry. If you’re planning your next signage or construction project and want panels you don’t have to second-guess, we have got you covered.

What Is Aluminium Composite Material?

ACM is essentially a three-layer sandwich that’s been heat-bonded under pressure. Two aluminium skins on the outside (usually 0.21mm on each side) with a core material locked in between. That core is made with polyethylene if it’s a standard panel.

The aluminium skins do the heavy lifting structurally.

They let you route, drill, fold, even bend the panel without it cracking.

The core keeps everything rigid while dropping the weight to about a third of what solid aluminium would be.

This really matters when you’re hauling sheets up scaffolding or trying to fit eight panels in a ute without the suspension bottoming out.

What sets ACP sheets apart from just gluing materials together is how it’s manufactured.

The bonding happens under heat and pressure, so you’re not dealing with adhesive failure down the track. This reliability is why it is one of the most sought-after materials today. You will see it in the following use cases:

  • External building cladding and architectural facades
  • Monument signs, pylons, the big stuff you see from the road
  • Shopfronts and retail fascias
  • Feature walls and internal partitions
  • Large format print substrates, when you need something flat and stable

Surface finish varies depending on what’s been ordered. It could be polyester powder coat, PVDF, brushed, or even mirror finish aluminium.

Core type affects fire compliance and weight. Skin thickness affects how cleanly it machines. All of it matters depending on what you’re building.

As one of the more established aluminium composite panel suppliers Australia trusts, diamondcutrugs focuses on:

  • consistent, high-quality ACP sheets
  • reliable stock availability
  • fast delivery across Victoria and nationwide
  • and custom cut aluminium panels

Instead of trimming sheets onsite or wasting half a day resizing material, panels arrive for you, ready to install.

Types of Aluminium Composite Panels

Different jobs need different specs. Using the right type makes a big difference. This is where people commonly make mistakes.

With the wrong type of ACM, a job could get knocked back because of choosing the wrong type. You need to match the panel type to what you’re building:

Polyethylene Core Panels (PE)

This is what most sign shops keep stacked in the corner because it handles the bulk of everyday work.

Polyethylene core keeps the weight down, seamless on machines, and comes in enough stock colours that you can find something close to what you want.

Where PE is used the most:
  • Shopfront signage panels and retail fascias
  • Monument signs sitting at ground level
  • Internal wayfinding and directional signage
  • Temporary structures, hoarding, event installations

This is cheaper than FR, easier to work with, and available basically everywhere. The trade-off is fire performance. You can’t put it on a high-rise and can’t use it where codes require non-combustible materials. But it gets the job done for most.

Coloured and Specialty Finishes

Beyond your whites, silvers, blacks, there are brushed looks, mirror finishes, metallics, if you have the specific Pantone or RAL requirements.

Some finishes are shelf stock, others you are ordering in and waiting a couple of weeks for.

  • Brushed hides scratches way better than gloss (good for high-traffic spots)
  • Mirror looks polished
  • Matte finishes photograph cleanly. This is suitable for corporate work.
