Reliable measurement

Tritex NDT says its sophisticated triple echo ultrasonic thickness gauges are robust, accurate and easy to use. The Multigauge 5500 model is supplied with a belt clip for hands-free use when climbing on staging, ladders or scaffolding for bridge surveys. The easy to use keypad allows operator interface whilst the bright LED display can be used in an array of light conditions. All probes have an intelligent probe recognition (IPR) tool that automatically adjusts settings in the gauge at the same time as tran

RSS6497 Tritex NDT says its sophisticated triple echo ultrasonic thickness gauges are robust, accurate and easy to use. The Multigauge 5500 model is supplied with a belt clip for hands-free use when climbing on staging, ladders or scaffolding for bridge surveys. The easy to use keypad allows operator interface whilst the bright LED display can be used in an array of light conditions. All probes have an intelligent probe recognition (IPR) tool that automatically adjusts settings in the gauge at the same time as transmitting recognition data. The unit also comes with an automatic measurement verification system (AMVS) that ensures true measurements are displayed, even on heavily corroded metals. Another feature reduces preparation time as it eliminates the need to remove surface coatings so just the metal is measured.

In Germany alone, a network of asphalt roads extending more than 600,000km will have to be maintained or repaired. Highway maintenance techniques do vary between European countries but some commonalities exist. There are techniques that have been sidelined in the last few years but which now

    An upfront combination of both cost savings and reduced environmental impact are now possible as a result of Kraton Polymers' continued investment in polymer innovation, says the company. "The new polymers enable a reduction in the bound pavement thickness by allowing the use of highly polymer modified bitumen (PMB) base course binders without excessive viscosities or incompatibility problems. The step change improvements in binder strength, flexibility and toughness result in a dramatic improvement in asph
