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
operation.
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.
MG2-XT and MG2-DL are available with THRU-COAT ®,
B-scan and optional Live A-scan with Waveform Adjust
|
Manual Echo-to-Echo measurement with adjustable gain and blanks. |
|
B-scan Corrosion Mapping
The MG2-XT and MG2-DL offer the B-scan feature
that converts live thickness readings into cross-sectional images drawn on the
display. This standard feature is a very helpful in applications when it is
desired to review how the thickness is changing over a distance. When the user
activates the B-scan feature it starts drawing the cross-sectional thickness
when the transducer makes contact with the material. The Freeze Min function can
be used to display the Minimum thickness of the scanned area. Up to 350 B-scan
images can be stored in the MG2-DL's data logger. |
MG2, MG2-XT, and MG2-DL
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.
We are known
worldwide as a manufacturer of innovative, state-of-the-art ultrasonic testing
products. We also believe that our customers deserve thickness gages that truly
combine quality, accuracy, and ease of operation at affordable prices. We have
accomplished this with three rugged models: the MG2, MG2-XT, and MG2-DL. Each
offers a range of practical measurement features to solve a wide variety of
thickness gaging problems. Even better, they all have in common being
manufactured by a company that takes pride in having the best customer support
network in the industry.

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! B-scan, Gain Adjust, Auto
Sensitivity Optimizations, Echo-to-Echo, Thru-Coat, Differential Mode, Hi-Low
Alarm, and the optional live A-scan 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, 2-D and GridView grid file formats. Using the optional GageView
Interface Program you can transfer your data bi-directionally to and from your
PC and gage. The MG2-DL is the answer if you're looking for an affordable gage
with unique measurement capabilities such as Thru-Coat and Gain Adjust.
Practical Measurement Features (MG2-XT and MG2-DL only)
Thru-Coat ®
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.
Live A-scan with Waveform Adjust
This optional live
A-scan mode allows the user to view the ultrasound waveform (or A-scan) directly
on the gage's display, verify the thickness reading, or make manual adjustments
to gain and blanking settings to maximize measurement performance for
challenging applications. This helpful option has the following features: Manual
Gain Adjust, Extended Blanking, Echo Blank Range and Delay.
Gain Adjust
This feature is very helpful when making
measurements on sound-attenuating materials such as cast metals:
- Preset
Gain Adjust to High, Low, or Standard
- Manual Gain Adjust can be set in 1
dB increments (Live A-scan mode only)
Extended Blanking
Allows blanking of unwanted echoes due
to material surface "noise" from rough or irregular surfaces (Live A-scan mode
only).
Echo-to-Echo
The gage displays the true metal thickness
and ignores the thickness of the coating layer, using multiple backwall echoes:
- Auto Echo-to-Echo
- Manual Echo-to-Echo (Live A-scan mode only) that
allows:
- Gain Adjust
- Extended Blanking
- Echo Blanking
