The Portagauge® 6 is a multiple echo ultrasonic thickness gauge that is tested and calibrated according to BS EN 15317:2013 standards on a calibrated carbon steel block that is manufactured to EN ISO 2400:2012 and ISO 7963:2006 standards.
It is a highly accurate and reliable thickness gauge for measuring the thicknesses of metals, plastics and pipework corrosion, and ignores any paint coating up to 20mm in thickness.
