Tritex unveils underwater thickness gauge
UK-based Tritex NDT Ltd has unveiled an updated version of its underwater thickness gauge that uses multiple echo and single crystal probes and can be used for all applications.
Tritex says its Mark 2 Tritex Multigauge 3000 Underwater Thickness Gauge is simple to use, with little operator input, and has a large bright 10mm display which ensure it can be easily read by the diver, even in poor visibility.
It uses multiple echo to completely ignore coatings up to 20mm thick so only the metal thickness is measured. All measurements recorded are error checked to ensure only accurate readings are displayed, even on uncoated metal.
In addition, it can be easily upgraded to a topside repeater by exchanging the end cap and all probes have protective membranes fitted to prevent damage from rough surfaces.
The Multigauge 3000 features an integral battery with 55 hours runtime on a single two-hour fast charge and is supplied completely ready to use in a Peli case.
The company says it developed the gauge to be rugged and to withstand the harsh conditions of the underwater industry.
