Tritex NDT product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Tritex NDT designs and manufactures Multiple Echo ultrasonic thickness gauges under the Multigauge brand for measuring metal and GRP thickness without removing protective coatings. The product range spans handheld surface gauges, hands-free rope-access gauges, marine surveyor gauges, diver-held underwater gauges, ROV-mounted gauges, and drone-mounted gauges, supported by the Communicator datalogging software. All products are designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom and sold worldwide through direct sales and a network of distributors.
Product overview
Tritex NDT manufactures a range of Multiple Echo ultrasonic thickness gauges — the Multigauge series — used to monitor corrosion and measure metal thickness without removing protective coatings. The product portfolio is organized around deployment contexts: surface/handheld gauges (Multigauge 5600, 5700 datalogger), rope-access hands-free gauges (Multigauge 5500), marine surveyor gauges (Multigauge 5650, 5750 datalogger with GRP/metal/plastic modes), underwater diver gauges (Multigauge 3000 with 500m depth rating), ROV-mounted underwater gauges (Multigauge 4000 series in 500m/1000m/4000m ratings), drone-mountable gauges (Multigauge 6000 transmitting wirelessly up to 500m), GRP-specific gauges (Multigauge 5300 and 5350 datalogger), and associated accessories (Multigauge 3100 topside display unit, ROV probe holder). All gauges share core technologies: Multiple Echo (ignoring coatings up to 6mm standard, 20mm with Coating Plus+), Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR), and Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS). Data management is handled by the Communicator software platform, which supports live measurement streaming and datalogging across multiple gauge models.
