TKG150: Digital Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge/Datalogger
Compact rugged meter for non-destructive thickness measurements
The Extech TKG150 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge, from Agile Microsys, is a durable tool for non-destructive thickness measurement, especially on metals like steel. It offers a wide measurement range, a sunlight-readable backlit display, and memory for up to 100,000 readings. Features like Echo-to-Echo for accuracy, B-Scan imaging, and vibration alarms enhance its usability in industrial quality control and maintenance. The TKG150 includes essential accessories, such as a 5MHz transducer and software for data management.
- Wide measurement range:
- 5MHz probe: 0.040″ to 20″ of steel
- 10MHz probe: 0.030″ to 2″ of steel (optional)
- Sunlight readable dot-matrix display with backlight
- 100K internal datalogger with export to Excel
- Echo to Echo option to reduce coating errors
- B-scan (visual cross-section of test piece)
- Vibrates on alarm
- Multiple transducer options for high temperature and difficult to measure materials
- Fast minimum feature to capture minimum thicknesses
- Complete with protective holster, 2oz bottle of couplant, 2 AA batteries, 5MHz Transducer, hard carrying case, USB cable, and XPorter software

|
| Hold Mode |
Holds display to retain last thickness reading with reverse video display
|
| Freeze Mode |
Freezes display (ideal for high-temperature readings)
|
| Fast Min/Max Mode |
Displays Min or Max and actual thickness value at 20 measurements/sec
|
| Units |
Inches/Millimeters/Microseconds
|
| Alarms |
Audible beeping; illuminate flashing display and keypad; and vibration feedback
|
| Illuminating Keypad |
F1 = Red, F2 = Yellow, F3 = Green for easy, go/no-go testing
|
| Gain – Variable adjustment |
Low, Standard, High
|
| B-Scan – Displays a cross-section of the test piece |
Displays a visual cross-section of the inspection area with no correlation to distance. B-Scan alarm colors consist of: Red = below minimum/above maximum; Yellow = Caution; and Green = Good.
|
| Echo to Echo |
Measure the metal thickness only (paint & coatings do not affect base material thickness value)
|
| Differential Mode |
Displays the difference from the actual thickness measurement and a user-entered reference value
|
| Velocity Mode |
Displays acoustic sound speed to measure the thickness of unknown materials
|
| Datalogger |
Stores 50k readings (expandable to 100k) and 5,000 waveforms; file names up to 20 characters long; and the included Extech XPorter software extracts .csv data files that can be opened for viewing in MS Excel, Notepad, or Wordpad.
