1 ABOUT YOUR GAUGE

The Model PG70/PG70DL Precision Gauge are hand-held gauges for fast and accurate measurement of
the thickness of thin materials.
Your gauge is capable of measuring the thickness of various materials with great precision. The principal
advantage of ultrasonic measurement over traditional methods is that ultrasonic measurements can be
performed with access to only one side of the material being measured.
Your gauge is also capable of measuring the thickness of plastics.
There are two versions of the gauge:
• The Model PG70 is the basic model.
• The Model PG70DL model includes all the features of the Model PG70 model plus a data-logging
(memory) facility which allows readings to be stored in batches before being downloaded to a
computer.
This manual describes the operation of both models - Model PG70 and PG70DL.
