Waygate Technologies DM5E Specifications

DM5E corrosion

thickness gauges

A range of high-performance, reliable

and easy-to-use instruments

The DM5E family

The DM5E family represents the highest standard of

portable corrosion monitoring thickness gauges from
Waygate Technologies. It offers significant improvement
in performance over previous corrosion thickness
gauges in terms of better thickness measurement stability
and repeatability at normal and elevated temperatures. It
has been designed for operation in the harshest working
environments, performing wall thickness measurements
on pipelines, pressure vessels and storage tanks in the
oil and gas industry, as well as in the petrochemical and
power generation sectors.

Choose from three levels of functionality.

DM5E Basic, DM5E, or DM5E DL.

The DM5E Basic

The rugged housing of the DM5E Basic is common to all versions. It is

ergonomically designed with a weight of just 223g, including its AA
batteries, which allow up to 60 hours of operation. The basic version is
specified to EN 15317 and features an LCD data display, which is backlit to
be visible in all lighting conditions. Instrument operation is carried out with
one hand via a user-friendly interface. This is a sealed, watertight and
dust-proof membrane keypad, which features a minimum of function keys
and arrow keys. Navigation through menus is simple and intuitive. The
basic version incorporates a wide range of features, including Min/Max
capture, B-Scan generation, alarms, and differential thickness measurement
to allow instant comparison between measured and nominal thickness.

The DM5E

The DM5E incorporates all the features of the DM5E Basic but also offers the

DUAL MULTI operating mode. This has been used in previous corrosion
thickness gauges from Waygate Technologies and has proved invaluable
in measuring thickness of metal through coatings. There is no need to
remove the coating at the measuring point, saving time and money. Users
can upgrade from DM5E Basic to DM5E in the field.

The DM5E DL

The DM5E DL is identical to the DM5E but features a built-in datalogger

supporting grid-style data file formats. This is capable of holding up to
50,000 readings. Files can be transferred to a PC by means of a Mini USB
port. Files can also be imported directly into Microsoft Excel through
a macro. All alphanumeric data for filenames and notes is directly entered
via the keypad. Both the basic and standard versions are field-upgradable
to become DL versions.
