Tritex NDT Multigauge 5300 GRP Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge for GRP and Plastics
The Tritex NDT Multigauge 5300 GRP is a simple, robust gauge for GRP and engineering plastic thickness. It is used by boat surveyors, composite fabricators and plant inspectors to assess GRP condition.
The gauge gives an oversize reading where moisture has caused swelling, an undersize reading when measuring to a delamination, or no reading if a delamination is close to the surface. With core GRP the gauge may measure either side of the core, depending on its thickness.
Key features
- Measures GRP and all types of engineering plastic
- Single crystal 1 MHz hard faced probe
- Checks GRP for delamination, blistering and osmosis
- Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR); echo strength indicator
- Large colour LCD; no zeroing; menu driven calibration
- Case rated to IP65; optional leather case
- 3-year warranty and free calibration for the life of the gauge
