The Krautkrämer CL Go+ from Waygate Technologies is a compact ultrasonic thickness gauge for precision measurement on metallic and non-metallic materials. It’s built for production QC, maintenance and field inspection where fast, repeatable readings and clear A-scans matter.

Inspector Mode guides less experienced users through a controlled workflow, while Expert Mode gives full access to UT parameters for advanced applications. Software upgrades allow the CL Go+ to operate as a precision thickness gauge, a corrosion thickness gauge, a basic flaw detector – or a combined 3-in-1 platform that integrates cleanly with DMS Go+ and USM Go+ devices.

Applications

1.Stainless Steel Components (≈ 1–25 mm)

• Sheet and plate thickness checks
• Welded pipework and hygienic tubing (304 / 316)
• Food, pharma and chemical vessels
• Thin stainless parts in aerospace and medical manufacturing

2. Aluminium & Light Alloys (≈ 0.5–20 mm)

• Cast and stamped automotive components
• Aerospace skins and formed panels
• Machined lightweight structures
• Chemically milled parts where precise wall thickness is critical

3. Carbon Steel & General Metals (≈ 2–40 mm)

• Structural steel members
• Fabricated frames and brackets
• Rolled strip and plate
• Small-diameter tubes and thin-wall sections

4. Composite Materials – CFRP / GFRP (≈ 2–25 mm)

• Aerospace laminates and fairings
• Industrial GRP panels and covers
• Composite housings and structural parts

5. Plastics & Thermoplastics (≈ 1–30 mm)

• Injection-moulded components
• Extruded profiles and pipes (HDPE, PVC, etc.)
• Plastic tanks, liners and machine guards

6. Glass Thickness Measurement (≈ 1–15 mm)

• Sight glasses and viewing windows
• Glass-lined vessels and reactors
• Protective industrial glazing where non-contact methods aren’t viable

Optional Flaw Detection Upgrade

With the flaw-detection software option, CL Go+ can also be used for:

• Simple UT flaw checks on metal components
• Screening for delaminations in composites
• In-process verification on production lines
