MTG4 Material Thickness Gauge

With a choice of calibration options and measurement modes, the MTG4 is ideal for taking readings on a wide range of coated and uncoated materials.

As well as all the features of the MTG2, the MTG4 has two calibration options. Using an uncoated sample of test material of a known thickness, the gauge can be calibrated using 1-Point calibration. Alternatively, the user can select one of 39 pre-set materials stored within the gauge including; aluminium, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, plexiglass, PVC, polystyrene and polyurethane.

Measurement Mode

Echo-Echo ThruPaint™ (E-E) measurement mode enables readings to be taken on coated materials with a thickness range up to 25.4mm (1”).  In Echo-Echo ThruPaint™ mode, the coating thickness is ignored and the material thickness from the top surface of the material to the material density boundary is displayed.

Data Output

Compatible with ElcoMaster^® software, individual readings can be downloaded via USB to PC or similar device for further analysis.

 

Features: Pulsed-Echo (P-E) and Echo-Echo ThruPaint™ (E-E) measurement modes 1-Point, Material and Factory calibration options Pre-set measurement rate of 4 readings per second USB data output to PC or similar device
