The Elcometer MTG2 Ultrasonic Material Thickness Gauge is ideal for monitoring corrosion and erosion before painting.
The ultrasonic pulse provides instant and reliable steel thickness measurements from just one side of an uncoated steel substrate.
Start by using a small amount of ultrasonic couplant, and press the dual element transducer flat against the surface. The reading stability indicator shows how strong the ultrasonic signal is – a full bar means a strong signal; ensuring accurate, reliable measurements. This way, the Elcometer MTG2 can measure uncoated steel up to 500mm (20”) thick, with a maximum accuracy of ±1% across its range.
Measures uncoated & coated surfaces
Flexible & easy to use, the Elcometer MTG range doesn’t just measure uncoated surfaces but can also measure coated surfaces. Using Echo Echo ThruPaint™ Mode (EE), coatings up to 2mm (80mils) are ignored.
A range of calibration options for accuracy and efficiency
The MTG gauges have a range of calibration options including the 1-Point calibration method. Users can also select one of 39 pre-set materials stored within the gauge or store up to three calibrations into the memory.
User definable limits for pass/fail indication
Users are able to set upper and lower limits with audible and visual pass/fail warnings. Limits can be set for individual readings or for each batch.
- Auto recognition, ensures correct probe is identified when transducer is changed
- Scan Mode at 16Hz, ideal for measuring a large surface area
- User selectable reading resolution; 0.1mm (0.01”) or 0.01mm (0.001”)
- Pulse Echo (PE), Echo Echo ThruPaint™ & Velocity (VM) measurement modes
- Hi & Lo limit indicators provides indication of problem areas
- Some MTG gauges are supplied as a gauge only. Transducers must be ordered separately
- Integrated zero disc, ensures maximum accuracy
- Stores up to 100,000 readings in up to 1,000 sequential batches
- Selectable reading rate of 4, 8, 16Hz (4, 8, 16 readings per second)
And maintaining the gauge’s accuracy couldn’t be easier. Pre-calibrated specifically for steel, the Elcometer MTG2 is ready for use straight out of the box. Simply zero-point calibrate using the integrated zero disc, to ensure accuracy at all times. Connect the Elcometer MTG2 to a computer and transfer your readings live to ElcoMaster, Elcometer’s free software for PC. Other inspection data can be imported as well, such as surface profile or surface cleanliness readings, and generate professional inspection reports, instantly.
But what about material that’s already been coated? Or materials other than steel, such as aluminium, copper, plastics, porcelain or epoxies for example? That’s where the Elcometer MTG4, MTG6, and MTG8 Ultrasonic Material Thickness Gauges come in.
