Description
These ultrasonic thickness gauges have been developed on a new platform, making them extremely versatile. They are designed above all for inspectors and maintenance operators in charge of residual thickness measurement in pipes subject to corrosion, tanks, pressure vessels and all metal structures subject to corrosion.
This platform enables the ECHO 9 to be upgraded to include the use of a data memory, A-Scan signal display and precision thickness measurement with single-element transducers.
This makes the ECHO 9 the ideal universal tool for inspectors, maintenance operators and service providers.

Site-proof
The ECHO 9 is designed to withstand the toughest conditions: IP67 enclosure, high-capacity Li-ion batteries, shockproof rubber protection shell. Its platform enables software updates and new functions to be installed remotely, with no need to return to the factory. You’ll never be caught unprepared.
Industrial engineering
The ECHO 9 is designed and assembled entirely in the USA. This makes it extremely robust, upgradable (software updates + installation of new functions), calibratable with several translator models, and backed up by after-sales service in France. The ECHO 9 is built to last.
High-resolution display
The ECHO 9 features a 3.5” screen with excellent contrast, even in bright sunlight. It’s a high-resolution 320×240 pixel color display with backlighting and multiple color configurations.
Key features
Fast and Min/Max mode: displays minimum value, maximum value, or both at a rate of 25 Hz
Compatible with many translators
Optional A-Scan display
Multiple languages
Memory for Excel interfacing
IP 67 RATING
Large, high-resolution display
Upgradeable
Single-sided measurement and a-scan visualization
Ultrasonic thickness gauges provide instantaneous digital measurement by analyzing the round-trip time of an ultrasonic wave introduced from one side only, making it unnecessary to cut sections or sleeves from corroded parts. Several variants are available with A-scan visualization for compliance with NFEN14127.
Traditionally, separate transceivers are used for corrosion detection. Transducers enable better detection of corrosion while remaining independent of surface condition. The accuracy obtained depends on the equipment, the material, the calibration method chosen and the operator. Corrosion detection accuracy is generally considered to be in the order of 0.1 mm, even if the instrument displays 0.01 mm.
In precision measurement, the aim is to achieve an effective accuracy of 0.01 mm. Single-element transducers with very specific characteristics are generally used to achieve these accuracies.
The ECHO 9 is capable of performing thickness measurements for these two different applications. It is therefore a universal and versatile tool that can be adapted to suit the problems encountered.
Illuminated keypad and vibrator for left- and right-handed use
Depending on the alarm condition, the ECHO 9 keypad lights up green, yellow or red, according to the thresholds you define in nominal thickness and percentage.
The keypad can be configured for left- or right-handed operation.
Measurement under paint
Indispensable for measuring painted or coated parts. It allows you to measure the thickness of metal alone, even if it is coated with anti-corrosion protection. This function is available on all models.
Visualization ascan
A-scan visualization in compliance with NFEN 14127. Allows adjustment of numerous parameters such as gain and blanking. Visualization in rectified or HF mode. Measurement markers are visible in normal mode or in inter-echo measurement to ensure correct measurement.
