PosiTector UTG Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

1. Product description

The DeFelsko (USA) PosiTector UTG measures the wall thickness of many materials, such as steel and plastics. The UTG M through-coating model measures the thickness of painted metal without removing the coating, making it ideal for checking corrosion in tanks, pipes and the like.

2. Features

1. Versatile

① Universal gauge body accepts all PosiTector 6000, 200, SPG, DPM and UTG probes, easily converting from a coating thickness gauge to a surface profile gauge, dew point meter or ultrasonic thickness gauge

② Display can be flipped for upside-down viewing

③ A choice of display languages

④ Every stored reading is date- and time-stamped

⑤ High-contrast backlit display for bright or dim conditions

⑥ One- or two-point calibration

⑦ Switchable between mils and microns

⑧ Runs on alkaline or rechargeable batteries (built-in charger)

2. Simple

① One-handed menu operation

② Preset sound velocities – select common materials directly, or enter a value

③ SmartCouple™ mode prevents the probe from losing contact with the surface during measurement, so scaly or uneven surfaces can be measured continuously – ideal for many readings over large areas

④ Flashing display for noisy environments

⑤ Reset function quickly restores factory settings

3. Durable

① Solvent, acid, oil, water and dust resistant – weatherproof

② Impact-resistant LCD lens

③ Shock-absorbing rubber holster with belt clip

4. Accurate

① Precision transducers for accurate, fast measurement

② Built-in temperature compensation for accurate measurement

③ Every gauge comes with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST

④ Conforms to US and international standards, including ASTM E797

5. Powerful

① Mini scan mode takes up to 20 readings per second

② On-screen min/max values for fast inspection of large areas

③ Continuously displays and updates the mean, standard deviation, min/max thickness and number of readings

④ Audible and visible alarm when readings go outside the set limits

⑤ Screen capture – screen images can be saved for records and review

⑥ USB port for quick, easy connection to a PC, with continuous power; cable supplied

⑦ USB mass storage – stored readings and graphs can be viewed on a PC/Mac with a web browser or file explorer, no software needed

⑧ Software can be updated online

⑨ Connects to PosiTector.net
