The gauge weighs just 130 grams and the plastic probe weighs only 15 grams. The weight is kept to a minimum because the 10 – 32 Vdc power supply is taken from the drone itself and there are no displays to add weight to the gauge. The gauge can be easily fitted to most drones.


In addition, Tritex NDT have developed a clever lightweight probe holder which allows the probe to flex in all directions to help with alignment on the surface. It also has a damping effect to protect the probe in case the drone hits the surface too hard.


5. CONCLUSION


The new Tritex Multigauge 6000 Drone Thickness Gauge makes inspection of high or difficult to reach places within the marine industry much easier and quicker. It can be used in conjunction with traditional techniques to speed up the inspection process.


Tritex NDT consider performance to be the most important feature of their ultrasonic thickness gauges. The gauge should give reliable, accurate measurements in the most demanding of applications. Whether it’s coated, bare metal, corroded or clean,


the Tritex Multigauge range has proven to be reliable, simple, accurate and robust.


All gauges come with free annual calibration for the life of the gauge and a 3-year warranty.
