Tritex NDT Multigauge 3000 Underwater Diver Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge, 500 m
The Tritex NDT Multigauge 3000 Underwater gauge is a simple, robust diver-held ultrasonic thickness gauge for most underwater gauging applications. It is pressure tested to 500 m.
The diver can take readings through coatings without cleaning to bare metal, thanks to Multiple Echo. The gauge can later be connected to the surface by fitting a replacement end cap and umbilical: the Surface Display Unit lets a surveyor or supervisor see the readings live, and Communicator software logs readings in grid or string templates with optional real time A-scan. Kits with 100 m umbilical are available for both options (30-3100 and 30-3300).
Key features
- Pressure tested to 500 m
- Large 10 mm LED display for poor visibility
- Ignores coatings using Multiple Echo (6 mm; 20 mm with Coating Plus+)
- Integral battery: 55 hours on one fast charge, no spare battery needed
- Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR) and AMVS
- No zeroing required; menu driven calibration
- Upgrade to topside Surface Display Unit or Communicator datalogging; optional A-scan
- 3-year warranty and free calibration for the life of the gauge
