1 ABOUT YOUR GAUGE

The CG70 series are corrosion gauges that measure with extreme versatility. They have the ability
to measure material thickness as well as locating pits, flaws and defects in the material. Based on
the same operating principles as SONAR and are capable of measuring the thickness of various
materials with accuracy as high as 0.01 millimetres (0.001 inches). 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.
Both models also include a data-logging (memory) facility which allows readings to be stored in
batches before being downloaded to a computer.
Note : Some functions are only applicable to certain models and these are highlighted throughout
