Monitor corrosion
13 December 2015
Corrosion levels can be easily monitored using the Multigauge range of multiple echo ultrasonic thickness gauges from Tritex NDT. They measure metal thickness through coatings up to 20mm thick over the entire measuring range of the probe. Coatings are completely ignored and only the metal substrate is measured.

In addition, the Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS) ensures measurements are displayed only if echoes are received from the back wall of the metal, ensuring there are no erroneous readings. Flaws or pits in the material do not affect the measurements.
The range includes the Multigauge 5500, designed for hands free use when climbing on staging, scaffolding or when accessing large storage tanks by rope. The Multigauge 5600 hand held gauge, which has a bright colour display and user friendly menus, and the Multigauge 5700 datalogger which allows measurements to be stored on the gauge in a grid or string format or a combination of both. The stored data is then transmitted to the PC using wireless technology.
