Measuring Range in Steel
Pulse-Echo Mode (Pit & Flaw Detection) measures from 0.025 to 19.999 inches (0.63 to 500 millimeters).
Echo-Echo Mode (Through Paint & Coatings) measures from 0.1 to 1 inch (2.54 to 25.4 millimeters).

The new MMX-6 Wall Thickness Gauge accurately measures wall thickness and the extent of corrosion of all metals, ceramics, glass and most rigid plastics - from only one side!

The MMX-6 can be used in a Single Thickness Reading mode or in a Scan mode , where the probe is dragged over a large measuring area. The minimum thickness reading recorded during the "scan" will be displayed.

The MMX-6 probe is waterproof and can be submerged in water. The gauge is impact-resistant and environmentally sealed to provide trouble-free operation under the toughest field conditions
