27MG Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

Basic Corrosion & Wall Thickness Gauge

Availability In Stock / Available

Key Features

  • Auto Probe Recognition: Automatically optimizes settings for connected dual element transducers.
  • Ergonomic & Lightweight: Weighs only 340 g (0.75 lb) for effortless one-handed operation.
  • Extended Battery Life: Up to 150 hours of continuous operation on 3 standard AA batteries.
  • High/Low Alarms: Audible and visual notifications when thickness falls outside set limits.

The 27MG handheld ultrasonic thickness gauge is designed to accurately measure remaining wall thickness on internally corroded or eroded metal pipes, tanks, and structural components. Compact, durable, and lightweight, it requires access to only one side of the component to deliver fast, reliable non-destructive testing results in demanding field conditions.

Simple & Accurate Inspection

Reliable Wall Thickness Measurement

Fast Non-Destructive Testing for Corroded Assets

Perform fast, accurate non-destructive thickness measurements on internally corroded metal pipes, pressure vessels, boilers, and storage tanks without cutting or damaging the part. The 27MG provides instantaneous digital readings through single-side access.

  • One-Handed Ergonomics: Lightweight, compact housing engineered for easy one-hand operation during ladder or scaffold inspections.
  • Min/Max Mode: Automatically tracks and holds the thinnest wall value during continuous scanning across corroded surfaces.
  • High/Low Alarms: Visual and audible alarms alert inspectors when thickness readings exceed preset safety limits.

Probe Technology

Dual Element Transducer Auto-Recognition

The 27MG automatically recognizes connected dual element transducers to adjust V-path compensation and calibration settings instantly.

  • Automatic Probe Recognition: Eliminates manual setup errors by automatically loading probe-specific calibration curves upon connection.
  • High-Temperature Inspections: Compatible with specialized dual-element probes (such as D790-SM) for measuring hot surfaces up to 500 °C (932 °F).
  • Built-In Steel Test Block: Fast, convenient one-touch zero calibration directly on the instrument casing.
