Baker Hughes / Panametrics 80CAL-TB2 1/8" Magna-Mike Calibration Fixture

The Baker Hughes / Panametrics 80CAL-TB2 is a 1/8" (3.17 mm) diameter calibration fixture engineered to establish known reference standards for Panametrics Magna-Mike thickness gauges. This precision-machined steel target ball fixture enables accurate, repeatable calibration by providing a consistent gap measurement reference point. The gauge's Hall-effect sensor measures the distance between the magnetic probe tip and the target ball, converting that gap into a thickness reading. Calibration with the 80CAL-TB2 ensures the instrument's magnetic field sensor maintains measurement accuracy across applications.

Compatibility & Integration The 80CAL-TB2 integrates with Magna-Mike 8500 and 8600 series thickness gauges. It functions within a broader calibration kit family that includes additional target ball sizes (80CAL-TB1, 80CAL-TB3) and fixed-thickness calibration standards (80CAL-010 through 80CAL-300), as well as NIST-traceable calibration references. The 1/8" target ball size corresponds to the calibration ball included in the Magna-Mike 8600 kit.
