Metal thickness gauge

Measure metal thickness even through coatings with ultrasonic metal thickness gauges. The probe does not need to touch the surface under test, as the metal thickness gauge captures reading measurements through 5 mm (0.2 inches) of water. Metal thickness probe orientation does not influence gauge readings. Contact MarineNav for more Information >
