Baker Hughes / Panametrics 80CAL-TB1 1/16" Magna-Mike Calibration Fixture

The Baker Hughes/Panametrics 80CAL-TB1 is a 1/16" calibration fixture engineered to maintain accuracy and traceability of Magna-Mike thickness gauges in field and laboratory environments. This fixture enables precise probe-to-target alignment during calibration routines, ensuring repeatable measurements across changing environmental conditions and probe orientations.

Technical Specifications

Fixture Type: Calibration fixture for 1/16" ball targets

Compatible Gauge Series: Magna-Mike 8500, Magna-Mike 8600

Weight: Approximately 2.1 lb

Form Factor: Handheld, portable design

Key Features The 80CAL-TB1 integrates with Magna-Mike target balls and calibration standards to establish measurement baselines. Calibration workflows position a 1/16" target ball on one side of test material with the gauge probe on the opposite side - the fixture provides mechanical alignment for both components. The Magna-Mike 8600 executes orientation-specific calibration adjustments via its Q-Cal function, compensating for probe angle variations. Calibration entry requires precise thickness values from associated standards, which the gauge uses to verify and adjust its measurement algorithm.

Typical Applications Thickness verification across manufacturing and quality control environments:

Aerospace component wall-thickness inspection

Automotive seam and material thickness measurement

Packaging film and plastic bottle wall verification

General manufacturing material inspection

Compatibility & Integration The 80CAL-TB1 operates within a defined Magna-Mike accessory ecosystem. Compatible calibration targets and standards include:

80TB1 (1/16" target balls)

80CAL-TB2 (1/8" calibration fixture)

80CAL-TB3 (3/16" calibration fixture)

80CAL-010 (0.0100" calibration standard)

80CAL-040 (0.0401" calibration standard)
