Tritex NDT Multigauge 5600 Hand Held Multiple Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
The Tritex NDT Multigauge 5600 is the general purpose hand held gauge in the Tritex Multigauge range. It is designed for most common thickness gauging applications on coated and uncoated metal.
Multiple Echo measures the time between back-wall echoes inside the metal, so coatings up to 6 mm thick (20 mm with Coating Plus+) are ignored. Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR) sets the gauge automatically for the probe fitted, and the Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS) checks at least three echoes before a reading is shown. The complete kit is ready to use from the case.
