Tritex NDT Ltd - Triple Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges

Tritex NDT have developed a range of products using a wealth of experience and unique understanding of all aspects of  thickness gauging. Our technicians pioneered multiple echo into hand-held instruments in the early 1980’s. We understand the problems faced by customers in all applications in the field of NDT and we aim to provide the best possible solutions. Our knowledge has been applied to the design, manufacture and marketing of our products. Above all, Tritex is committed to respecting the environment by omitting the use of hazardous substances and materials in all our products by complying with the RoHS and WEEE directives.

The Multigauge 5500 has been designed for hands free use when climbing on staging, scaffolding, ladders or when accessing by rope. Whether it’s onboard a ship, on large storage tanks, climbing on top of a road tanker or ultrasonic inspections underneath a bridge, the 5500 will measure the thickness with ease.

The Multigauge 3000 Underwater Thickness 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. It has been designed and built to survive extremely harsh conditions that exist in the offshore and underwater industries worldwide.  The gauge uses multiple echo which means measurements can be easily taken without the need to remove coatings and the large bright LED display ensures the display can be seen by the diver, even in poor visibility. 

Constant monitoring of corrosion levels are vital to maintain the safety of the ship and her crew. Vessels often suffer the most severe cases of metal wastage due to the corrosiveness of salt water. Tritex multigauges can measure metal thickness in even the most difficult applications. This is why class societies, including IACS, actually recommend gauges that use multiple echoes when carrying out surveys on ships. 

Storage tanks can contain anything from water to chemicals to petroleum, and in each case it could be extremely damaging if an accident occurred due to excessive corrosion. Also, LPG tanks are susceptible to corrosion and require regular thickness measurements to assess their condition. 

Underwater thickness measurements are required in all applications where metal is used underwater. Typical applications include pilings, pipelines, piers, bridges, offshore platforms, lock gates and ships.
