Introduction

Introduction

The PosiTector UTG is a hand-held Ultrasonic Thickness Gage

that uses the non-destructive ultrasonic pulse-echo principle to

measure the wall thickness of a wide variety of materials. It

consists of a body (Standard or Advanced) and probe (UTGC or

UTGM, see pg. 2).
This Quick Guide summarizes the basic functions of the instru-

ment. Download the full instruction manual at:
