Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges…

…that measure through coatings.

multigauge 4000 ROV

The Multigauge 4100 and 4400 Underwater Thickness Gauges are simple, robust ultrasonic thickness gauges designed to be mounted onto all types of work class ROV’s. There are two models in the range, the Multigauge 4100 which has a depth rating of 1000m and the Multigauge 4400 which has a depth rating of 4000m. Both gauges have been designed and built to survive extremely harsh conditions that exist in the offshore and underwater industries worldwide. The gauges use multiple echo which means measurements can be easily taken without the need to remove coatings and the RS422 output makes connection to most ROV’s simple.

The gauge is equipped with IPR (Intelligent Probe Recognition), which automatically adjusts settings in the gauge for enhanced performance and AMVS (Automatic Measurement Verification System) to ensure only true measurements are displayed, even on the most heavily corroded metals.

specification:

kit contents:

topside repeater output

communicator software:

The Multigauge 4000 is supplied with Tritex Communicator software which allows datalogging on a PC or laptop using templates. These can be setup to store data in a grid, string or combination of both. Alternatively, the software can be used to simply display the measurements directly from the gauge.

ROV probe holder:

The Multigauge ROV Probe Holder has been designed to accurately present the ROV probe onto the surface being measured, whether it is curved or flat. The ingenious design means there are no moving parts to get clogged with silt and seaweed and yet there is a 75° freedom of movement in all directions due to the rubber joint - there are no axial restrictions. The Probe Holder is made from titanium for lightness and strength.
