PVX Thickness Gauge

A Precision PVX Thickness Gauge with digital thickness display, A-Scan Signal Waveform and B-Scan Display and large data logging capacity. Provides the ability to use a variety of single element transducers for specific applications: Standard Delay Line (acrylic and graphite tips for metals and thin plastics), Pencil Delay Line (tough access area on thin materials), and Contact transducers (variety of applications).
