Description

Detailed Overview

This is a compact and durable ultrasonic thickness gauge with a rugged, shock-proof design for use in harsh industrial settings. It uses the Multiple-Echo principle to measure material thickness and find corrosion, even through heavy coatings. The device allows for quick and accurate metal thickness inspection without needing to remove protective coatings, saving considerable time and preparation effort.


The simple, versatile workhorse for accurate through-coating thickness measurements.

  • This entry-level multiple-echo gauge is designed for straightforward operation, providing reliable metal thickness measurements through surface coatings up to 20 mm thick.
  • It is housed in a tough, splash-proof enclosure with an IP67 rating, making it suitable for general maintenance and inspection tasks in various non-hazardous environments.
  • The typical package includes the main unit, charger, couplant, and a carry case.
  • Features the MSI™ (Measurement Stability Indicator) to ensure only stable and reliable readings are displayed.

Top Features & Benefits

  • Uses Multiple-Echo technology to ignore coatings up to 20 mm thick.
  • Designed for simple operation with minimal setup and calibration requirements.
  • Rugged, sealed construction (IP67) for maximum durability and weather resistance.
  • Large display and simple calibration process.
  • Includes Echo-Echo and Single-Echo modes for measurements on uncoated, corroded, and deep-pitted materials.
  • Features MSI™ to ensure reliable readings.

Primary Uses & Functions

  • A handheld ultrasonic gauge for non-destructive thickness measurement of metals and other materials using the multiple-echo technique. Its primary function is corrosion/erosion monitoring on coated structures without removing the protective layer.

Real-World Applications

  • General purpose Corrosion Measurement on metals and composites.
  • Thickness measurement through coatings using Multiple Echo technique (e.g., paint, lacquer, epoxy).
  • Inspection of pipelines, storage tanks, and structural steel in industrial plants.
  • Verification of wall thickness for fitness-for-service assessments.
