Elcometer MTG2-TXC Ultrasonic Material Thickness Gauge
Elcometer MTG2-TXC Ultrasonic Material Thickness Gauge: The Minimalist, Economical, and Accurate Solution
In workpiece metal quality inspection, incoming material acceptance, or basic mechanical testing, businesses do not always require complex data logging features or expensive, specialized measurement modes. The Elcometer MTG2-TXC ultrasonic material thickness gauge was developed to meet exactly those core needs: Fast measurement, high durability, extreme ease of use, and the lowest investment cost in the system.
Overview of Elcometer MTG2-TXC
The Elcometer MTG2-TXC is the entry-level model in the Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge line from Elcometer (UK).
The TXC designation represents the configuration bundled with the manufacturer’s standard probe. This device comes pre-programmed to measure the thickness of the most common industrial material: Steel. It is the perfect solution for mechanical workshops and maintenance teams that focus solely on inspecting steel structures, sheet metal, or standard iron and steel pipelines.
Key Features of Elcometer MTG2-TXC
Pre-configured Sound Velocity for Steel (5920m/s)
• To simplify operation for the user, the Elcometer MTG2-TXC comes with a fixed, dedicated sound velocity preset for steel.
• Users do not need to perform complex calibration steps before measuring. Simply turn on the device, apply the couplant gel, and place the probe on the steel surface to get an immediate thickness reading.
Standard Pulsed-Echo (P-E) Measurement Mode
• The gauge utilizes the traditional Pulsed-Echo measurement method, which measures the total distance from the contact surface to the material’s back wall.
• This mode works flawlessly on clean steel surfaces, unpainted steel, raw steel stock, or freshly machined components.
Industrial-Grade Durable Design
• Despite being an economical model, the MTG2-TXC still boasts a premium impact-resistant rubber casing and complies with the IP54 dust/water resistance standard.
• The large, clear digital display features an automatic backlight, helping technicians easily read results in dark corners of the workshop or under harsh sunlight on site.
• The integrated Stability Indicator informs the user whether the probe has been placed perpendicularly and has achieved good contact with the material surface.
