Our ultra sonic thickness guage just died. Im wondering where is a good place to find a new one thats not so terribly expensive. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry Im not able to give you any advise, but I just wonder: which was the model of the gauge you used to check the pipes thickness? Were the measurements reliable?

Not sure the brand of my old guage, there are no markings on it, and it is fairly old. It did seem to do the job. If a pipe wall was getting thin, it worked well enough to identify it.

Check with Keith from Alliance @ 1.888.870.0908

Thank you for advise!

talk to fred at Pioneer 678-370-0000. i use the one that will read thru paint . Made by Defelsko. it is very accurate. price was not bad.

All will read 'thru' the paint but the problem is, that paint thickness is added to the total wall thickness.  This may only be a few mm's but wall thickness readings need to be fairly precise as there's not much of a difference in getting a few more yards (or meters) & blowing tubes.
