Description

Detailed Overview

A mid-range multiple-echo ultrasonic thickness gauge with a simple, robust interface designed for ease of use in challenging environments. It measures material thickness accurately through thick coatings by ignoring the coating thickness. The gauge offers a straightforward and reliable tool for corrosion inspection on metal structures, ensuring that critical assets remain in service longer.


Survey mode and a large multi-functional display for simple, fast corrosion inspections.

  • Featuring a large color LCD and an intuitive menu, this gauge is optimized for fast, accurate measurements using the multiple-echo technique.
  • Its ‘Survey Mode’ is ideal for quickly screening large areas, indicating acceptable or problematic thickness readings clearly via color-coded alerts.
  • The package includes the gauge body, couplant, and a protective carrying case.
  • The three-button operation minimizes complexity and speeds up measurement time, perfect for high-volume inspection tasks.

Top Features & Benefits

  • Multiple-Echo technology for coating tolerance, accurately measuring through coatings up to 20 mm thick.
  • Simple three-button operation for minimal training and fast results.
  • End-mounted display for easy viewing during rope access and awkward handheld use.
  • Shock-proof and water-resistant (IP65/67) housing for maximum field durability.
  • Includes Single-Echo mode (uncoated or heavily corroded) and Echo-Echo mode (deep coating) for versatility.
  • Exceptional battery life (up to 30 hours) for extended field work.

Primary Uses & Functions

A rugged ultrasonic gauge for non-destructive thickness measurement in demanding industrial settings, providing reliable wall thickness data. Its core function is to facilitate rapid corrosion surveys and integrity assessments on coated metal structures.


Real-World Applications

  • General purpose Corrosion Measurement on metals, including steel and iron components.
  • Thickness measurement of pitted materials using the Echo-Echo mode for improved accuracy.
  • Inspection of pipelines, storage tanks, and ship hulls without the need for prior coating removal.
  • Rapid screening of large structural components in civil engineering and marine environments.
