Detailed Overview

A versatile hands-free thickness measuring device that features a belt-mountable design and a large LCD display for ease of reading. It employs the Multiple-Echo technique for accurate through-coating measurements on corroded structures. The solution is practical for working at height or in confined spaces, enhancing operator safety and efficiency while performing corrosion surveys.

Designed for rope access and confined space inspections, offering secure hands-free operation.

• This model includes a neck strap and wrist-mountable accessory, allowing the operator to safely use the multiple-echo thickness gauge while climbing, maneuvering, or working in hard-to-reach locations.
• It retains the ability to measure accurately through coatings, enhancing efficiency by eliminating time spent removing paint or protective layers.
• The contents feature the main gauge body with wrist and neck straps, a standard dual element probe, a cable, batteries, and a compact carrying case.
• The end-mounted rotatable display is a key feature, allowing the user to read measurements easily when the gauge is strapped to the wrist or held at an angle.

Top Features & Benefits

• Multiple-Echo technology to measure accurately through coatings (up to 20 mm).
• Features belt-mountable and wrist-strap design for secure, hands-free operation in hazardous or high-access areas.
• Includes Multiple-Echo, Echo-Echo (Deep Coat), and Single-Echo modes for full application versatility.
• Data logging and basic reporting functionality (optional/base model dependent).
• IP67 and MIL STD 810G rated for superior durability and protection against water and dust.
• High-visibility end-mounted rotatable LCD display.

Primary Uses & Functions

A hands-free ultrasonic gauge for non-destructive thickness measurement of metals, optimized for ease of use in industrial environments. Its primary function is to enable safe and efficient corrosion assessment in locations requiring rope access or climbing.

Real-World Applications
