The Mark 2 Tritex Multigauge 3000 Underwater Thickness Gauge, from U.K.-based Tritex NDT Ltd., uses multiple echo to completely ignore coatings up to 20mm thick, only the metal thickness is measured. All measurements are error checked to ensure only accurate readings are displayed, even on uncoated metal.

According to the manufacturer, the gauge is simple to use, with little operator input, and has a large bright 10mm display which ensures it can be easily read by the diver, even in poor visibility.

 

The gauge uses multiple echo and single crystal probes in accordance with class society regulations. Its performance means that one probe type can be used for all applications, including extremely corroded metal, with no probe zeroing. The Multigauge 3000 is built to withstand the harsh conditions of the underwater industry and has an integral battery with 55 hours runtime on a single two-hour charge. In addition, the gauge can be upgraded to a topside repeater by simply exchanging the end cap and all probes have protective membranes fitted to prevent damage from rough surfaces.

The gauge is supplied completely ready to use in a Peli case with all the necessary spare parts. As with all Tritex NDT products, it comes with a three-year warranty and free annual calibration for the life of the gauge.
