Tritex NDT
Tritex NDT manufactures and supplies multiple echo ultrasonic thickness gauges specifically designed for checking corrosion levels and measuring metal thickness on hulls without removing protective coatings. These specialized tools are essential for boat surveyors and the wider yachting industry to ensure the structural integrity of steel and aluminum boats.
The company maintains a strong relationship with the International Institute of Marine Surveyors, with many members utilizing Tritex technology in the field. The Multigauge 5650 Surveyor Gauge, paired with a 3.5MHz probe, is a preferred choice for small craft surveys due to its performance when measuring thinner materials in heavily corroded conditions.
For enhanced efficiency, the Multigauge 5750 Datalogger allows surveyors to store measurements wirelessly, streamlining the reporting process.
The product range also includes specialized equipment for more demanding marine environments:
- Multigauge 5500: A hands-free gauge designed for rope access, featuring a top-mounted display ideal for inspecting hard-to-reach areas of a boat.
- Multigauge 3000 & 3100: Hand-held underwater thickness gauges designed for divers.
- Multigauge 4000: ROV-mountable gauges pressure tested for significant depths, suitable for technical underwater inspections.
By utilizing the Multiple Echo method and single crystal probes, these gauges provide accurate readings even on heavily pitted or compromised surfaces. This technology allows surveyors to obtain precise data from the base of a pit to the back wall, ensuring the safety of the boat and those aboard.
All instruments are designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom and include support such as free annual calibration for the life of the gauge.
