About this product

The Elcometer NDT CG100B Corrosion Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge (part number CG100B) is a handheld ultrasonic gauge that measures material thickness and tracks corrosion across a full range of measurement modes, including B-Scan cross-sectional imaging. The Elcometer NDT CG100B Corrosion Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is built for inspectors who need to select the correct measurement method for each material and condition.

Corrosion thins the walls of pipes, tanks and structural steel from the inside, where it is invisible until a wall is dangerously thin or already leaking. The Elcometer NDT CG100B Corrosion Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge reads remaining wall thickness using Pulse-Echo (PE), Temperature Compensation (PETP), Echo-Echo ThruPaint (EE), EEV, Coating Only (CT) and Pulse-Echo Coating (PECT) modes, so the inspector can measure true metal thickness through paint or assess coating and substrate together. Time corrected gain compensates for sound attenuation through the material, automatic gain control simplifies set-up, and threshold adjustment increases sensitivity to lower-amplitude signals.

The PE measuring range of the Elcometer NDT CG100B Corrosion Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is 0.63 to 508mm, with accuracy of plus or minus 0.01mm, 0.01mm resolution and a velocity calibration range of 1250 to 13,995m/s. Scan mode runs at 50 readings per second, with a high speed scan mode, differential mode and limit alarm. The Elcometer NDT CG100B Corrosion Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge holds 6 factory and 64 user-definable setups that transfer to and from a PC archive, and uses a dual element transducer at 1 to 10MHz feeding a quarter-VGA grayscale display. The aluminium case has gasket-sealed end caps and a waterproof membrane keypad, with around 150 hours of battery life. The Elcometer NDT CG100B Corrosion Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised Elcometer distributor.
