Extech TKG250 Colour Waveform Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge / Datalogger
The highest specification model in Extech's range of TKG ultrasonic thickness gauges, the TKG250 includes literally every function a professional needs for comprehensive measurements of thickness in boiler tubes, pressure vessels, storage tanks, ship hulls, containers, home oil tanks, pipes, steam lines, compressors, shafts, bridge pins, bond inspections and any other structure made primarily of steel.
While the other models in this series - the TKG100 and TKG150 - use a standard LCD screen, the TKG250 has a full-colour LCD screen that makes it easier than ever to generate direct measurements and thickness waveforms. This colour display allows the meter to display colour alarms, with green for good, yellow for neutral, and red for bad.
Multiple functions not found on the other models in this series are also included. The Extech TKG250 can calculates line waveforms (a-scan for thickness verification), compare files in its built-in memory with real time corrosion monitor, dynamically changes waveform colours when alarms are sounded and allows grid review of saved readings. It also contains a 100K internal datalogger with export to Excel via USB, echo-to-echo function, b-scan function and vibrating alarm indication.
Extech TKG250 Colour Waveform Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge / Datalogger Key Features
- Measures the thickness level of steel-based constructions
- Wide measurement range: use either the included 5MHz probe to measure from 0.40" to 20" steel or use an optional 10MHz probe (sold separately) to measure from 0.020" to 20"
- Colour LCD display with red, yellow and green visual alarm indication
- 100k internal datalogger with direct export to Excel via USB cable (included)
- Echo to echo mode reduces errors caused by coating
- File compare feature as a real time corrosion monitor
- Live waveform (A-scan for thickness verification)
- B-scan (visual cross section of test piece)
- Vibrates on alarm
- MIN/MAX

Extech TKG250 Technical Specifications
| Thickness Range (In Steel) | 5MHz Probe: 0.040 to 20" (1.0 to 508mm); 10MHz Probe: 0.020 to 20" (0.50 to 508mm) |
| Material Velocity Calibration Range | 0.200 to 0.7362 in/μS (0.508 to 18.699mm/μS) |
| Languages | English, French, Spanish, Italian, Czech, German, Portugese, Slovak, Finnish and Hungarian |
| Hold Mode | Holds display to retain last thickness reading with reverse video display |
| Freeze Mode | Freezes display (ideal for high temperature readings) |
| Fast MIN/MAX Mode | Display Min or Max and actual thickness value at 20 measurements/sec |
| Units | Inches/Millimetres/Microseconds |
| Illuminating Keypad | F1 = Red, F2 = Yellow, F3 = Green for easy, go/no-go testing |
| Gain - Variable Adjustment | in 1dB steps from 20-90dB or automatic gain control (AGC) for waveform |
| B-Scan - Displays a Cross Section Section of the Test Piece |
Displays a visual cross section of inspection area with no correlation to distance. B-scan alarm colours consist of: red = below min/above max; yellow = caution; green=good |
| Echo to Echo | Measures the metal thickness only (paint & coatings do not effect base material thickness value) |
| Differential Mode | Displays the different from the actual thickness measurement and a user-entered reference value |
| Velocity Mode | Displays acoustic sound speed to measure thickness of unknown materials |
| Datalogger | Stores 50k readings (expandable to 100k) and 5000 waveforms; file names up to 20 characters long; the included Extech XPorter software extracts .csv data files that can viewed in MS Excel, Notepad or Wordpad. |
| Battery Life | 8-14 hours (depends on operating conditions) |
| Range | Adjustment of manual range control or auto zoom tracking to center echoes independent of selected range |
| Rectification Modes | RF, half wave postive, half wave negative, full wave rectification |
| Live Waveform (A-Scan) | Full adjustments for gain in 1dB step or ACG, main bang blank, blank after first received echo, range including zoom auto tracking to center echoes independent of material and rectification |
