The PTG8 is the top of the range gauge with all the featuresand functionality necessary for measuring, with precision,material thickness on virtually any material. With a user definable display, users can choose to viewreadings, statistical information, bar graph together withthe highest (Hi); lowest (Lo); and average (x); reading or atrend graph of the last 20 readings. In Scan Mode, readings can be taken at a rate of 16Hz(16 readings per second) over a large surface area. Whenthe transducer is lifted off the surface, the average, lowestand highest thickness values are displayed.
The PTG8 allows users to store into memory up to threecalibrations. Once saved the user can select a calibrationwithout the need to re-calibrate the gauge, ideal for userswho are measuring a variety of materials or thicknesses.Using the gauge’s alpha-numeric function, calibrationmemories can be re-named to suit the calibration setting.The PTG8 has user definable upper and lower limits withaudible and visual pass/fail warnings. Limits can be set forindividual readings or for each batch. If a measurement istaken which falls outside the set limits, the reading valueand the limit icon turns red, the red LED flashes and thealarm beeps.
The PTG8 has Differential Mode; once a user definednominal thickness value is set, the gauge displays themeasured thickness together with the variation from theset nominal value thus indicating areas of the materialwhich are thinner or thicker than expected.The PTG8 offers B-Scan, a time based, cross sectional2 dimensional graphical view of the material under test,ideal for relative depth analysis. The zoom of the B-Scanreading can either be set to automatic or can be defined bythe user to focus on areas of interest.
The PTG8 can store 100,000 readings in up to 1,000sequential or grid type batches. Using grid batching,readings are stored in a spreadsheet type format. TheObst feature, allows the user to record an obstructionwithin the grid.Compatible with ElcoMaster ® PC & Mobile App, readingscan be downloaded via USB or Bluetooth® to PC, iOS orAndroid™ devices for further analysis and reporting.
