Multigauge 5300 GRP Thickness Gauge

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Multigauge range of ultrasonic thickness gauges is designed for common thickness gauging applications. These devices are user-friendly, featuring a simple keypad and a bright LCD display suitable for all lighting conditions. The gauges are protected by a soft rubber surround and include Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR) and an Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS) for accurate measurements.
Applications: The gauges are suitable for use in shipping, bridges, pipelines, dockyards, offshore platforms, wind turbines, pilings, and dock gates.
Key Features:
  • Large color display with easy-to-use menus
  • Coating elimination using multiple echo technology
  • Rugged and robust design
  • Single crystal probes for linear accuracy
  • Intelligent probe recognition (IPR)
  • Automatic measurement verification (AMVS)
  • No zeroing required
  • Free calibration for the life of the gauge
Measurement Technology: The gauges use multiple echo technology to measure metal thickness without including coatings, which have different sound velocities. This technology ensures accurate readings by eliminating coatings up to 6mm thick.
GRP Measurement: The gauges can assess GRP conditions, identifying delaminations, blistering, or osmosis by comparing readings from good and suspected faulty areas.
Product Range: The range includes various models such as Multigauge 5300 GRP, Multigauge 5350 GRP Datalogger, Multigauge 5500 Hands Free, and others, each designed for specific applications and measurement modes.
Communicator Software: Tritex Communicator software supports datalogging models, allowing for live data transmission and storage in a report format. It facilitates template programming for versatile applications.
Specifications:
  • Complies with British Standard BS EN 15317:2013
  • Sound velocity range: 1000 m/s to 8000 m/s
  • Resolution: 0.1 mm or 0.05 mm
  • Accuracy: ± 0.1 mm or ± 0.05 mm
  • Operating temperature: -10°C to +50°C
  • Storage temperature: -10°C to +60°C
  • Battery life: Up to 50 hours with alkaline batteries

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. 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 each time. The timing between the...

Multigauge 5300 GRP Thickness Gauge-5

GRP is prone to delamination and blistering and the GRP feature of our gauges can be used to assess its condition to check for delaminations, blistering or osmosis. This is done by comparing the surrounding good area with the suspected faulty area to identify where these problems may have occurred. The gauge will give either an oversize reading, if moisture is present and caused swelling, an undersize reading if it is measuring to a delamination or no reading at all if the delamination has occurred close to the surface and below the measuring range of the probe. Caution should be taken when measuring...

Tritex Communicator software is used with all datalogging models. Templates can be simply preset, with the aid of a wizard, based on a grid or string of measurements. This gives maximum versatility for a wide range of applications including measurements on pipelines, pilings or ship hulls. The software also transmits live measurements from the gauge, in real time. These measurement values can be stored along with the time, date and an identifying label for each measurement. The stored data is saved in a standard TXT format in the form of a report that includes relevant information and the tabulated...
