Tritex NDT Multigauge 5650 Surveyor Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge for Metal, GRP and Plastic
The Tritex NDT Multigauge 5650 Surveyor is built for marine surveyors who inspect steel, aluminium and GRP hulls with one instrument. It combines three measurement modes and recognises the probe fitted, setting the correct mode automatically.
Multiple Echo with AMVS ignores coatings on metal. Echo - Echo mode gives enhanced performance, and Single Echo with the hard faced 1 MHz probe is used on GRP and engineering plastics. GRP condition is assessed by comparing suspect areas with sound areas: an oversize reading suggests moisture swelling, an undersize reading a delamination.
Key features
- Three modes: Multiple Echo, Echo - Echo and Single Echo
- Measures metal, GRP and plastic; switches automatically with the probe fitted
- Ignores coatings up to 6 mm with Multiple Echo; up to 20 mm with Coating Plus+
- Inspect GRP for delamination, blistering and osmosis
- Soft faced probes protected by a membrane; hard faced probes for linear accuracy
- IPR probe recognition; AMVS in Multiple Echo mode; echo strength indicator
- Colour LCD, no zeroing, case rated to IP65
- 3-year warranty and free calibration for the life of the gauge
