GRP and Plastic Measurement
Multigauge 5300 is a robust ultrasonic thickness gauge for checking GRP and engineering plastics. It can also measure uncoated metal, giving inspectors one stated instrument for several material types within its specified sound-velocity and measurement ranges.
Measurement Ranges
The sound-velocity range is 1000 m/s to 8000 m/s. Engineering-plastic thickness ranges from 2 mm to 300 mm depending on material, while the stated GRP range is 2 mm to 12 mm depending on the GRP composition.
Probe and Instrument Interface
A 1 MHz single-crystal hard-faced probe is stated. The colour LCD provides operator information, menu-driven controls support calibration, and Intelligent Probe Recognition automatically adjusts settings when recognition information is transmitted from the connected probe.
Construction and Data Option
A moulded soft-rubber surround provides additional protection against knocks and scrapes. An echo-strength indicator is included, and a datalogging version with wireless data transmission is available according to the listed product features.
Kit and Ordering
The kit lists the gauge, hard-faced probe, lead, gel, 15 mm test block, batteries, manual, calibration certificate, and case. Confirm material, expected range, probe size, datalogging requirement, wireless setup, and optional protective leather case before ordering.
