Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge Multigauge 5500 The Multigauge 5500 has been designed for hands free use when climbing on staging, ladders, scaffolding or when accessing by rope. Whether it’s onboard a ship, on large storage tanks, climbing on top of a road tanker or inspecting underneath a bridge, the 5500 will make the job much easier. The moulded soft rubber surround feels comfortable, looks good and provides extra protection against knocks and scrapes. All probes have Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR), which automatically adjusts settings in the gauge at the same time as transmitting recognition data - the result is a perfectly matched probe and gauge for enhanced performance. Additionally, the Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS) ensures only true measurements are displayed, even on the most heavily corroded metals. Ignores coatings up to 6 mm thick using Multiple Echo. Coating Plus+ ignores coatings up to 20 mm. Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS). Mounts onto waist belt or chest harness for hands free use. Single crystal soft faced probe protected by a membrane. Easy calibration with menu driven buttons. Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR). Echo strength indicator. Free calibration for the life of the gauge. Typical Applications Pipelines Road Tankers Offshore Platforms Storage Tanks Lighting Columns Phone Masts Quality Control Lock Gates Leisure Craft simple . accurate . robust

About Multiple Echo All Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges should be calibrated to the velocity of sound of the material being measured. Coatings have a different velocity of sound than metal and it is important they are not included in the measurement. Multiple Echo ensures all coatings, up to 6mm thick, are completely eliminated from the measurement. How it works: A transmitted ultrasound pulse travels though both the coating and the metal and reflects from the back wall. The returned echo then reverberates within the metal, with only a small portion of the echo travelling back through the coating...
