Calibration Options
The PTG6 has a number of calibration options. Using an uncoated sample of test material of a known thickness, the gauge can be calibrated using 1-Point calibration. Alternatively, the user can select one of 39 pre-set materials stored within the gauge including; aluminium, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, plexiglass, PVC, polystyrene and polyurethane.
The PTG6 also offers the additional calibration options of 2-Point & Velocity.
Data Output
Compatible with ElcoMaster® software, individual readings can be downloaded via USB to PC or similar device for further analysis.
