Steel thickness gauge is a device which is used for measuring the thickness of steel. Basically, steel is an alloy which consists of iron which contains carbon of around 0.2% and 2.14% with the weight of C: 110–10Fe. Yet, it depends on the grade of the steel. Steel thickness gauge is indicating the standard thickness of the steel. The larger the number indicates, the lower the thickness measures.
The gauge of the steel ranges from 35 up to about 6 gauge. However, the thickness can be significantly varied. Thin thickness is considered leaf or foil and material with the thickness of more than 6 mm or .25 inch is considered plate. There are a lot of options of steel thickness gauge for measuring the thickness of steel available.
TI-25LT Steel Thickness Gauge
This is another option of steel thickness gauge you can take into your consideration. This device is able to measure the thickness in the range of 0.040 – 6.00 inches and also 1.00 – 150.0 mm. this device is manufactured in USA with warranty of 5 year. This gauge is able to provide you an accurate measurement.
This TI-25LT is specifically designed to measure the thickness of the steel and some other metals. This type of steel thickness gauge is easy to upgrade to provide you more functionality. Instead of measuring steel, it is also able to measure all metals, glass, ceramics, as well as the most rigid plastic. This gauge comes with some features including single reading along with scan modes in which the probe is dragged over a large measuring area. When the scan is displayed, it will record the minimum reading.
Furthermore, this steel thickness gauge offers you some exceptional features you can consider for your need. Those features include 0.004 inch or 0.01 mm resolution, large backlit LCD display which allows you to read in poorly lit area, and simple operator control which allow inexperience operator to use it. In addition, this gauge also provides you special probes for a lot of different applications, environmentally sealed and impact-resistant steel thickness gauge so that it is able to provide you trouble-free operation even when you are operate it in the toughest field conditions.
Some other features which this steel thickness gauge offers you include programmable switch for mm or inches measurement, probe cable length of up to 50 feet which allow you to use for underwater surveying. Since it is able to be used for underwater need, it is designed to be waterproof. In addition, this gauge is supported with CE certified. It also offers you NIST-traceable calibration certificate.
TM-8811 Steel Thickness Gauge
TM-8811 is another option of steel thickness gauge comes with a velocity display addition. This device, instead of measuring the steel, is able to measure the thickness of cast iron, red copper, aluminum, quartz glass, zinc, PVC, polyethylene, modular cast iron and also gray cast iron. It is also equipped with broad band measuring sensitivity which allows the meter to read the probes at different frequency.
Some other features of this steel thickness gauge are special micro-computer LSI circuit and also crystal time base which is able to provide you high accuracy, digital display for accurate reading, auto calibration, programmable metric or imperial, automatic material calibration, measuring range of up to 0.059 inch up to 7.8 inch. It is able to provide you accuracy up to +/- (0.5% + 0.2).
