Ultrasonic thickness gauges are used to accurately determine the thickness of a variety of materials when only one side is accessible - ideal for monitoring corrosion and erosion. Converting the time of flight of pulse of sound energy, sent into and reflecting back from a defect or opposite surface, ultrasonic thickness gauges are ideal for measuring a material's thickness and detecting pits and flaws in a material without damage. A coated surface may disguise defects in the substrate beneath; the wall thickness of a pipeline, for example, may have been eroded by the flow of the material inside. Likewise the walls of a storage tank may appear acceptable on the outside but be dangerously thin inside due to the corrosive chemicals stored within. From a steel thickness gauge to a gauge which ignores the thickness of the coating, Elcometer has a range of ultrasonic material thickness gauges to meet you specific requirements. Ergonomic, rugged, accurate and easy to use, the ElcometerMTG&PTGrange of ultrasonic Material and Precision thickness gauges is ideal for measuring and recording material thickness from just 0.15mm (0.006") to 500mm (20"). With a scratch and solvent resistant display, sealed, heavy duty and impact resistant design - dust and waterproof equivalent to IP54 - theMTGandPTGrange is suitable for use in the harshest of environments. The Elcometer NDTMTGrange has a number of measurement modes available to help the user establish the most accurate thickness value.
