?Are you looking for a new thickness gauge to monitor metals and plastics??Our new multi-echo?Portagauge? 5?will ignore paint coatings up to 20mm thick to?give you a true metal reading with 0.1mm accuracy.?
?Portagauge? 5, as?all Coltraco products, is manufactured in the UK and comes with a 3-year warranty and Technical Support for the life of the unit.?
THE PORTAGAUGE? 5,
Type?– Handheld Ultrasonic Multiple Echo Thickness Gauge
Function?– Designed for testing the thickness of metals and plastics and pipework corrosion for evidence of corrosion
Accurate and reliable?–?Comes with?A-scan and oscilloscope trace functionality to provide visibility on the quality of signal??
Combining all of the benefits?of our previous range, this is the most intuitive, robust and accurate thickness gauge on the
Customization -?The easy-to-use reference database allows you to input speed of sound to measure custom materials
Built-in Material Database -?12 different materials pre-loaded, inc. metals and plastic allowing you to test your materials quickly
LCD Display -Built-in backlight for working in dark/poorly lit spaces
?STAY COMPLIANT WITH REGULATIONS
This instrument is ideal for both onshore & offshore applications. For offshore applications, the instrument meets Classification Society requirements for marine thickness gauging inspection equipment and it is housed in an IP65 enclosure.
