The Best Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge from Coltraco

The Portagauge® 3 was designed to be as simple and durable as possible. With only 2 controls (on & off) the device offers an effortless, plug and play method for quickly inspecting large metal surfaces. Accurate to 0.1mm, the unit is primarily used for corrosion and condition inspections. The device can very quickly help the user find internal corrosion in structures and because it is so quick to operate, large surface areas can be quickly inspected. This is especially valuable when inspecting pipework, hulls, process machinery and other applications with particularly long metal structures.With a hard aluminium case and significant internal electronic protection, the Portagauge® 3 is a robust unit. A variety of different sensor options are also available, including:

  • 6mm Thin Material probe – measuring range of 1.5mm to 50mm and ideal for thin diameter applications such as small pipework
  • 10mm Standard Probe – measuring range of 1.5mm – 99.9mm and ideal for the vast majority of measurement applications
  • 12mm High Temperature Probe – 4mm to 99.9mm and capable of operating on metal surfaces up to 70C / 160F
