TT100 Digital Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

The TT100 is the most popular ultrasonic thickness gauge sold in Australia. It is a low cost, hand-held microprocessor controlled thickness gauge specifically designed for measuring the thickness of metallic and non-metallic materials e.g. aluminium, titanium, plastic, plastics, ceramics, glass and any other good ultrasonic wave-conductor as long as it has parallel top and bottom surfaces.

With uses in many areas of industry, the TT100 can perform precise measurements on various types of raw materials, component parts and assembled machinery.  It can also be used to monitor all types of pipes and pressure vessels for loss of thickness due to corrosion or erosion.

The TT100 is extremely easy to use.  After a simple calibration to a known thickness or sound velocity, the gauge will give accurate readings in millimetres.  Sound velocities for five different materials can be preset and ten thickness readings can be stored in the memory. 

The TT100 is supplied complete with  2 x 5 MHz Probes, Gel, Certificate, Instruction Manual and Carrying Case.  

Other models are also available.

TD HANDY SCAN

The TD Handy-Scan® is our new hand-held multifunction advanced ultrasonic system. The Handy-Scan was born out of the demand for an inexpensive ultrasonic system that delivers Phased array, ToFD & Pulse echo in a single integrated portable package. The TD Handy-Scan satisfies the growing use of multifunctional UT systems for routine detection and analysis but also fits into more complex inspection procedures with ease. Although the TD Handy-Scan is a small hand-held instrument weighing only 3 kilograms, it sports an impressive battery of features and capability. We have taken our successful approach to designing miniature circuitry to a new level of innovation that will enhance the usability of our ultrasonic systems in the field.

Technicians are often expected to perform inspections using several UT modes and it is now common for inspections to include, for example, both Phased array and ToFD to complement each other. Switching between UT modes is achieved simply by selecting the appropriate mode in the software. The ease of use of the software coupled with micro-miniature electronics, convenient replaceable battery and ultra-compact, lightweight construction brings a new dimension of portable functionality without relinquishing any data quality. The TD Handy-Scan can be used to perform a wide range of code compliant inspections as well as bespoke procedures for special applications including Weld scanning, Corrosion mapping using video tracking, real time defect search and detection using A, B, C, D and Sectorial scan with either ‘snap-shot’ or full data recording – its uses are as wide as the imagination.

Tritex NDT manufacture and supply Multiple Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges that are used to check corrosion levels and measure metal thickness from one side only, without removing any protective coatings.  Tritex NDT supplies ultrasonic thickness gauges internationally for use in all applications where metal thickness is a concern. 

All Tritex NDT’s ultrasonic metal thickness gauges have IPR (Intelligent Probe Recognition), AMVS (Automatic Measurement Verification System and Coating Plus+.  Tritex Multiple Echo also significantly reduces preparation time as it eliminates the need to remove surface coatings.

Whatever the application, Tritex have a gauge suited specifically for it.  The rugged designs not only look good but are also durable.  All probes have IPR (Intelligent Probe Recognition) which automatically adjusts settings in the gauge at the same time as transmitting recognition data – the result is a perfectly matched probe and gauge for enhanced performance.  That’s not all; the AMVS ensures only true measurements are displayed, even on the most heavily corroded metals.  Housed in purpose designed cases and incorporating Triple Echo to completely ignore coatings.  Tritex Multigauges are the choice for the future….

All Tritex models have been manufactured to comply with British Standard BS EN 15317:2007, which covers the characterization and verification of ultrasonic thickness measuring equipment.

Multigauge 3000 Underwater Gauge

The Multigauge 3000 Underwater Gauge is a simple, robust ultrasonic thickness gauge designed for most common underwater thickness gauging applications.  The gauge is pressure tested to 500m and has the option to transfer measurements to a surface display unit with the simple addition of a replacement end cap.

Communicator Software - For use with the Topside Repeater and ROV Gauges

Tritex Communicator software displays live measurement results from either the Multigauge 3000 Underwater Thickness Gauge or the Multigauge 4000 series ROV Thickness Gauges onto either a laptop or PC.  Templates can be preset based on a grid, string of measurements or a combination of both. This gives maximum versatility for a wide range of applications including measurements on pipelines, pilings or ship hulls.  As well as storing measurement data, Communicator software also has the option to store the time, date and an identifying label for each measurement. In addition, various settings within either gauge can be changed from the software to optimise performance.

Features:  Displays real time measurements from the Multigauge 3000 or Multigauge 4000 gauges: Easy to install and very user friendly: Datalogging with grid or string templates, or a combination of both: Bi-directional to allow settings in the gauge to be changed: Accepts RS232 or RS422 input: Time, date and a label can be added to each measurement value: Common output interface (.csv).
