Ideal for measuring the effects of corrosion or erosion on tanks, pipes or any structure where access is limited to one side. Multiple echo (ME) Thru-Paint models measure the metal thickness of a painted structure without having to remove the coating.

Selectable gauge display languages including: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Czech and Italian
Rugged Features: The PosiTector UTG was designed for use in industrial environments. Now with an impact-resistant Lexan® display and shock-absorbing rubber holster the PosiTector UTG is more rugged and durable than ever before.

Two Models
PosiTector UTG Std
UTG Std ultrasonically measures the wall thickness of materials such as steel, plastic and more. Ideal for measuring the effects of corrosion or erosion on tanks, pipes or any structure where access is limited to one side.

PosiTector UTG ME
UTG ME features Thru-Paint capability to quickly and accurately measure the metal thickness of a painted structure without having to remove the coating.

PosiTector UTG ME
Ultrasonic Thickness Gage
UTG ME features Thru-Paint capability to quickly and accurately measure the metal thickness of a painted structure without having to remove the coating. The most accurate method to measure remaining wall thickness of a painted structure because it automatically disregards the coating, lowering inspection time and expense. Also Ideal for measuring on sandblasted materials or other applications requiring a more durable wear face.
Features...
–Multiple Echo mode to eliminate coating thickness, and...
–Single Echo mode to detect pits and flaws, and to increase the measurement range
