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.

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.

    March 3, 2015
    Wirtgen is introducing a new concrete paver range, the SP90 series. These models will replace the existing SP80 series as well as the SP850. Four basic models have been announced at present, the SP92, SP92i, SP94 and SP94i, although with the range of options and features available, the capabilities offered will be extensive. Paving widths for the machines now range from 2-9.5m, increasing the maximum width and allowing these units to handle a wider array of slipforming tasks than the earlier SP80 Series mod

    March 20, 2012
    Greater precision is helping blur the boundaries between GIS technology and design software While GIS map based technology has extended its range across an ever more universal spectrum of uses in the highways sector, it is increasingly showing weaknesses for engineering purposes. It is very often not accurate enough. This has not mattered previously because the GIS tool has been seen essentially as an automated version of paper based systems from the design department's point of view. Where engineers

    New compaction solutions also come in compact form - Mike Woof writes New compaction tools are now being made available for the rental market, increasing efficiency over previous generation units. These new tools are more productive than earlier equipment, while also being quieter and safer to operate. Atlas Copco is introducing three new LF forward plate compactors, which can be used for soil compacting and asphalt patching applications. These now benefit from integrated water distribution systems a

    January 7, 2019
    SICK says that it’s recently launched LMS1000 and MRS1000 infrared LiDAR sensors deliver more accurate and reliable distance sensing and measurement, especially in difficult conditions. The robust, compact sensors weigh just 1.2kg and come with rotatable connectors for easy mounting on gantries. Heavy rain, mist, dust or snow can lead to false signals, explained Neil Sandhu, SICK’s national product manager for imaging, measurement, ranging and systems.
