1 ABOUT YOUR GAUGE

The Model CG30, CG50 and CG50DL Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges are handheld gauges for fast
and accurate measurement of material thickness.
Your gauge is capable of measuring the thickness of various materials with accuracy as high as
± 0.1 mm (± 0.004"). 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.
There are three versions of the gauge:
• The Model CG30 is the basic model.
• The Model CG50 includes all features of the CG30 plus differential mode, an alarm and data
output.
• The Model CG50DL model includes all the features of the Model CG50 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 all three models - CG30, CG50 and CG50DL.
