(Extech Instruments: Nashua, NH) -- Known worldwide for its superior test and measurement tools, Extech Instruments has announced that its versatile TKG series of ultrasonic thickness gauges is now available.

The TKG Series, which includes the TKG250, TKG150 and TKG100 models, uses ultrasonic technology to capture nondestructive thickness measurements on various engineered materials, typically to measure wall thicknesses in steel structures where only one side is accessible to take inspection measurements.

The most common applications are to detect thinning areas and corrosion buildup in steam lines, boiler tubes, storage tanks, and pressure vessels. Designed and made in the United States, TKG gauges are also used to measure thicknesses on metal components found on aircraft sections, ship hulls and marine systems, heavy equipment and construction vehicles, and bridge structures. Quality control applications beyond metals include castings, plastics, composites, fiberglass, ceramics, and glass.
