EM5000 Thickness Gauge


The EM5000 EMA thickness gauge measures thickness of steel pipes, rolled sheets, rods, and other products made of steel, aluminum and other metals with an operating gap between the transducer and the metal up to 5 mm. The gap can consist of dirt, rust, salt deposits, paint, varnish, enamel, plastic or other non-conductive coating.

The EM5000 allows measurements without usage of couplant and without surface preparation.

The EM5000 can be used with the transducer with a pulsed electromagnet, which prevent dirt from sticking! These transducers work even on heavily soiled surfaces, leaving the transducer surface perfectly clean.

The device has the ability to work with sensors with a pulsed electromagnet, to which dirt does not stick!

Operating gap: up to 5 mm

The operating gap of up to 5 mm (dirt, rust, salt deposits, paint, varnish, enamel, plastic or other non-conductive coatings)

Color LED display

The color LED display allows not only displaying thickness values, but also analyzing A-scan

High-temperature transducer

For standard EMA transducers, the operating temperature range on the test object surface is -20…+80 °С. Special EMT50004T pulsed electromagnet transducer measures thickness on objects heated up to 750 °C

A special high-temperature transducer allows inspection of hot objects heated up to 750 °C.

Tilt angle makes a minor effect on the device’s readings, in contrast to conventional thickness gauges with piezoelectric transducers that require transducer fixed in a certain position.

The EM5000 thickness gauge has a color display protected by impact-resistant glass.

The device uses a special data processing algorithm that provides correct thickness measurements in the presence of disturbing factors such as metal anisotropy, usage of several reflectors, exposure to external interference. The algorithm allows reducing the human factor and simplifying the device interface.

The EM5000 is equipped with a replaceable battery: if necessary, the battery can be replaced with a new one, which extends the life of the device.

Connection to a tablet, smartphone or another Android device allows expanding the EM5000 features: analyzing A-scans, B-scans, working with gates, selecting a thickness measurement mode, signal processing parameters, etc. The EM5000 can be connected to a tablet via Bluetooth.

At your request, the EM5000 can be equipped with AR glasses. AR glasses allow using the EM5000 in hard-to-reach places, where display readouts are impossible or difficult. In this case the readouts are displayed on the lenses of AR glasses and the operator can always see them.
