Single skinned containers cannot be treated like a normal container as there is no opening large enough to peek through or pass down anything big. The walls of single skinned containers often start losing their thickness due to corrosion. The thinning is not visible from the outside so you can’t tell if the walls are weakening and they need any attention. Using the Portagauge 4 one can easily test the thickness to learn about any area that may be weakening and losing its thickness.

The Portagauge® 4 is the analytical Thickness Gauge from Coltraco. Offering unparalleled accuracy, this uses triple echo technology which allows operators to inspect the underlying metal thickness, independent of any surface coatings such as paint. For applications where true metal readings and a hig ... Read more »
