Multiple echo ultrasonic thickness gauge

The Portagauge® 6 is a multiple echo ultrasonic thickness gauge for measuring the thicknesses of various metals and rigid plastics, which ignores any coating up to 20mm in thickness. It has a built-in datalogger to store up to 200,000 thickness measurements and minimum thickness alarm functionality.

Multi-Echo Capability & Ignores Paint Coating

Easily measure material thickness through paint layers/coatings without removing them. It is able to ignore paint coatings up to 20mm in thickness, giving you the material’s true thickness readings accurate to +/- 0.1mm.

The Portagauge® 6 ultrasonic thickness gauge measures through protective coatings, providing accurate and reliable thickness measurements. This helps you to determine the level of corrosion or erosion without the risk of causing further corrosion damage.
