THOR Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

Thor is a full function A-Scan thickness gauge with a wide variety of modes and features for extra versatility. The tone-burst style pulser provides THOR with enough strength for the most difficult high penetration applications. The A-Scan display options and dual gates enable THOR to be optimized for multi-mode thru paint requirements. The full feature lockout disables the A-Scan features and allows THOR to be used as a simple digital thickness gauge.

THOR has 25 manufacturer defined setups that can be edited by the user. This features allows complete control to create custom setups for specific applications. THOR is equipped with an alpha-numeric data logger for reporting purpos-es. You can store 1000 pages of data each consisting of a main cell reading, 16 sub readings, a waveform display, and 2 lines of comments.

THOR also comes complete with our DakView2 Windows® PC software for transferring data to and from a PC.

THOR comes as a complete kit, ready to use, and is backed by a 2 year warranty.
