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.
