Quicker thickness monitoring

Dorchester, UK based, Tritex NDT have launched a new Multigauge 5700 Datalogger Metal Thickness Gauge. The new gauge, has all the advantages of the companys Multigauge 5600 but with the added benefit of storing readings on the gauge

The gauge utilises the Multiple Echo technique to ignore coatings up to 6mm thick and just measures the metal substrate. No grinding or removal of the coatings is required, significantly reducing preparation time and ultimately saving both time and money when carrying out inspections. All probes have Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR), which automatically adjusts settings in the gauge when connected, and claims Tritex, results in a perfectly matched probe and gauge for enhanced performance. Also, the Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS) ensures only true measurements are displayed, even on the most heavily corroded metals.

Single crystal probes, which according to Tritex have a number of advantages when measuring on curved and corroded surfaces, are protected by a membrane ensuring the probe does not easily get damaged.
