1 ABOUT YOUR GAUGE
The Model SG80 is a sonic gauge that measures with extreme versatility. It has the ability to measure the
thickness of a material while maintaining the ability to locate pits, flaws and defects in the material. Based
on the same operating principles as SONAR, the Model SG80 is capable of measuring the thickness of
various materials with accuracy as high as 0.01 millimetres (0.001 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.
