Abstract
A gauge for measuring variations in distance of a surface relative to a reference by means of phase shifts in a zone of high acoustic impedance. A gauge head is provided with a first orifice for emitting acoustic waves, driven by a reference signal, toward a surface positioned very close to the gauge head, forming a high impedance zone. A second orifice in the gauge head picks up acoustic waves subjected to the zone and these waves are converted to electrical signals for comparison to the reference signal in a phase detector. The phase error between the two signals is indicative of surface distance variations.
