Ultrasonic Corrosion Gage
The Panametrics Model 26MG is a lowcost ultrasonic thickness gage designed to
make accurate measurements on internally
corroded or eroded materials. It weighs
only 8.5 oz. (0.24 kg) and is small enough
for easy, one-thumb operation. Thickness
measurements are made from one side of
the material with no need to cut the part.
The 26MG has 250 hours of typical
battery life with two easy-to-replace AA
alkaline batteries. A Low Battery Indicator
continuously updates battery status.
The 26MG offers various practical
measurement features such as Automatic
Probe Recognition that recognizes
transducer types, a Fast Min Mode
that holds the minimum reading at a
Fast Scan rate of 20 per second, and a
Freeze Mode that freezes the display to
capture critical thickness data. Its LCD
with electroluminescent backlight shows
thickness measurements in large, easy-toread numerals.
Typical applications for the 26MG
include the inspection of storage tanks,
pipe lines, pressure vessels, boiler tubes,
steam lines, ship hulls, and other structures
affected by internal corrosion.
You can choose from a wide array of
transducers with varying frequencies,
tip diameters, and temperature ranges to
suit many applications (see other side).
