Ultrasonic thickness gauges meet new
standards
Tritex NDT's Multigauge 5500 and Multigauge 5600 meet the requirements of BS EN15317:2007, which came into force on 30th March 2007.
Tritex NDT has developed a new range of triple echo ultrasonic thickness gauges in accordance with the new British and European standards that govern the characterisation and verification of ultrasonic thickness measuring equipment The new standard, BS EN15317:2007, came into force on 30th March 2007, and has been put in place to specify methods and acceptance criteria for assessing the performance of instruments for measuring thickness using pulse-echo ultrasound

Gauges get the measure of metal thickness
Ultrasonic thickness gauges provide reliable measurements of metal thickness when checking for corrosion or confirming process quality.
Tritex NDT has two gauges in the range which comply, the Multigauge 5500 and Multigauge 5600.
Both gauges use the triple echo technique to completely ignore coatings, and in addition they have features such as Coating Plus+ to ignore even thicker coatings up to 20mm, AMVS (Automatic Measurement Verification System) and an intelligent probe recognition system to ensure the probe is perfectly matched to the gauge.
In developing these gauges, Tritex has remained committed to respecting the environment by omitting the use of hazardous substances and materials in all products by complying with the RoHS and WEEE directives.
Typical applications include inspection of bridges, lighting columns, ships, piers, road tankers, pipelines, storage tanks as well as general industry.
