The Elcometer NDT PG70ABDL Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is a handheld ultrasonic gauge for measuring thin substrates where pinpoint accuracy is the priority. Thin-walled and precision components must be verified to fine tolerances, and a general-purpose corrosion gauge cannot resolve the small differences involved. The Elcometer NDT PG70ABDL Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is built for thin material applications and can calibrate to a variety of different materials using its one point calibration option.
The Elcometer NDT PG70ABDL Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge uses ThruPaint technology with interface to Echo, Echo-to-Echo and auto-switchable modes, allowing accurate measurement of thin sections. It offers 0.001mm high resolution, taking four readings per second for single point measurements or 8 per second in scan mode, which captures the minimum thickness as the probe is moved across an area.
Differential mode displays the thickness variation (+/-) against a user-defined nominal value, while the minimal thickness alarm and limit alarm mode let the user set allowable thickness limits and be warned when a reading falls outside them. Internal data logging records readings for output and storage to the data management software for later analysis and reporting. Used by inspectors verifying the precise thickness of thin materials, the Elcometer NDT PG70ABDL Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised distributor.
