Tritex NDT leading the way in drone thickness measurements

摘要

Tritex NDT has for many years been manufacturing ultrasonic thickness gauges and is now established as one of the leading companies offering multiple-echo gauges. Multiple-echo technology means that .thickness measurements can be taken through 6 mm-thick coatings, as only the metal substrate is measured. It does not matter whether the coating is paint, epoxy or bitumen; it is completely ignored. This has huge advantages over having to remove coatings, with savings in both time and money. It also has a big advantage when developing a drone thickness eauge. There has always been a requirement to take thickness measurements at height and up until recently this has been carried out using scaffolding or rope access techniques. However, with the Tritex Multigauge 6000 dedicated drone thickness gauge, first developed over three years ago, this is now a lot safer and more cost-effective than before.
