1 ABOUT YOUR GAUGE
The Elcometer PG70ABDL is a precision gauge that measures with extreme versatility. It has the
ability to measure coatings and material thickness simultaneously while maintaining the ability to
locate pits, flaws and defects in the material. Based on the same operating principles as SONAR,
the Elcometer PG70ABDL is capable of measuring the thickness of various materials with accuracy
as high as 0.001 millimetres (0.0001 inches). The principal advantage of ultrasonic measurement
over traditional methods is that ultrasonic measurements can be performed with access to only one
side of the material being measured.
The Elcometer PG70ABDL includes a data-logging (memory) facility which allows readings to be
stored in batches before being downloaded to a computer.
