MG2 Ultrasonic Thickness Gages
|
These small affordable ultrasonic thickness
gages are primarily designed for inspectors and maintenance engineers
responsible for measuring the remaining thickness of internally
corroded pipes, tanks, and other metal structures.
Lightweight and ergonomically designed for
easy one-hand operation, these gages provide cost-effective
measurement solutions in many applications that require quick
inspection of materials suspected of metal wall thinning.
These thickness gages truly combine
quality, accuracy, and ease of operation at affordable prices.
|
Each gage offers a range of
practical measurement features to solve a wide variety of thickness
gaging problems.

MG2
The MG2 offers many basic
features such as Min/Max Mode that measures and recalls the minimum
thickness at a fast 20 readings per second, Freeze Mode to instantly
capture critical thickness, and Zero Compensation to ensure optimal
transducer performance. Various other features make this handheld gage an
affordable unit for quick spot measurements.
|
MG2-XT
The MG2-XT has all of the
features of the MG2 plus much more! Gain Adjust, Auto Sensitivity
Optimizations,
Echo-to-Echo,
Thru-Coat,
Differential Mode, and Hi-Low Alarm are added features to provide you with
more measurement capabilities in tough applications. This gage is ideal
when you make thickness measurements on coated or painted surfaces.
|
MG2-DL
The MG2-DL is the most
advanced unit of our new MG2 Series gages. It includes all of the features
found in the MG2-XT plus a versatile file-based alphanumeric data logger
that employs incremental, sequential, and 2-D grid file formats. The
MG2-DL is the answer if youre looking for an affordable gage with unique
measurement capabilities such as Thru-Coat and Gain Adjust. The optional
GageView Pro
interface program helps manage and format stored inspection
data for high-speed transfer to the PC.

MEASUREMENTS FROM ONE SIDE!
Ultrasonic thickness gages
make instant digital measurements by transmitting sound into a material
from one side, making it unnecessary to cut the corroded part.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND POCKET-SIZE
These handheld gages are
small enough to fit in a toolbox or inside your pocket. They are ideal for
quick inspections in hard-to-reach areas.
INTUITIVE, COLOR-CODED
KEYPAD
You can directly access
many important measurement features for time-saving operation.
Strategically located keys are grouped together by color for easy
opperation.
|
LARGE LCD WITH BACKLIGHT
The large numerals make it
easy to read thickness measurements. In addition, you can easily view the
electroluminescent backlit display from total darkness to bright sunshine.
BUILT TO LAST!
The splash proof, impact-resistant
case with sealed keypad makes these gages durable tools in the harshest
conditions. All gages offer a Two Year Limited Warranty.
Available with the MG2-DL
and MG2-XT models only.
|
MG2-XT and MG2-DL
are available with
THRU-COATฎ
With this patented
technology, the gage simultaneously displays the thickness of the coating
and the true metal thickness, using a single backwall echo. Each
measurement is adjusted for their calibrated material sound velocity. Thru-Coat
measurements use the D7906-SM and D7908 transducers. This feature will
save you valuable inspection time!
|
ECHO-TO-ECHO
The gage displays the true
metal thickness and ignores the thickness of the coating layer, using
multiple backwall echoes. There is no need to remove the coating.
GAIN ADJUST
This is a feature you can
use when making measurements on sound-attenuating materials such as
cast metals. By adjusting the gain level (High, Low, or Standard) you
can reduce material or surface noise when ultrasound enters rough or
granular surfaces in order to improve the detection of the backwall. |
AUTO SENSITIVITY GAIN OPTIMIZATION
This feature
is similar to Gain Adjust. Instead of you setting the gain level, the
gage automatically increases or decreases the gain depending on the
thickness and material noise level.
DIFFERENTIAL MODE
A differential
measurement references two readings to each other. The gage displays
the difference between the live measurement and a preset reference
thickness.
HI-LOW ALARM
You can
program the gage with Min/Max thickness values. Audable or visual
indicators will warn you of out of tolerance conditions. |
TRANSDUCERS WITH
AUTOMATIC PROBE RECOGNITION
Each MG2 series
gage is compatible with our complete line of easy interchangeable dual
element transducers that vary in frequencies, diameters, and temperature
capabilities to deal with virtually every application.
