Krautkrämer DMS Go+ Thickness Gauges

Portable ultrasonic thickness gauges for corrosion and coated surfaces

Compact, IP67-rated housing with a flip display for left- or right-handed operation
Portrait or landscape view for improved readability in tight access areas
Dual Multi mode for accurate through-coating thickness measurement
High-temperature capability with compensation up to 540°C when paired with suitable probes
Advanced data tools including A-scan, B-scan, MicroGrid and structured grid recording

The DMS Go+ Series from Waygate Technologies is a portable A-scan ultrasonic thickness gauge built for corrosion monitoring and general wall-thickness inspection. With robust IP67 protection, stable A-scan performance and a user-friendly rotary knob, it is well suited to plant work, offshore inspections and maintenance routes where reliability and quick setup matter.

The adjustable display (portrait/landscape) improves interpretation in tight access areas, and the flip function supports left- or right-handed use in the field. Data export is straightforward via SD card or USB, and parameter sets can be saved and recalled to speed up repeat inspections.

Available models:

DMS Go+ Basic

  • Standard A-scan measurement
  • For uncoated metals and general UT thickness checks

DMS Go+

  • Adds Dual Multi mode for thickness readings through coatings
  • Ideal for pipelines, vessels and painted assets

DMS Go+ Advanced

  • Adds a full datalogger, custom grid creation, MicroGrid, 3D/4D structures
  • Designed for high-volume corrosion mapping projects

Applications

1.Corrosion Monitoring (Carbon Steel Pipework & Vessels)
Used across oil & gas, petrochemical and power-generation sites for:

  • Corrosion surveys on pipelines
  • Wall-thickness trending on pressure vessels
  • In-service thickness checks on process pipework
  • B-scan profiling for localised thinning
  • Dual Multi mode maintains accuracy through coatings and paint layers, reducing surface prep.

2. Coated Assets (Painted Steel, Protective Coatings, Insulated Lines)
Technicians use the DMS Go+ to measure metal thickness without removing paint, including:

  • Above-ground pipework
  • Tank shells
  • Structural steel beams
  • Process equipment with protective coatings
  • Stable readings even on mixed or degraded coating layers.

3. Boiler Tubes & High-Temperature Lines
With appropriate probes, the DMS Go+ supports high-temperature thickness measurement up to 540°C, including:

  • Boiler and superheater tubes
  • Steam lines and hot process lines
  • Online checks during plant operation
  • The optional OSS-10 oxide-scale probe helps assess scale build-up for boiler-efficiency monitoring.

4. Austenitic & Difficult Materials (Stainless, Duplex, Inconel)

  • Reliable A-scans on materials with complex grain structure, used for:
  • Stainless steel pipework
  • Duplex and super duplex components
  • High-nickel alloys (Inconel, Hastelloy)
  • Welded stainless fabrication
  • The instrument maintains stable back-wall echoes where lower-end gauges often struggle.

5. GRP / Non-Metallic Components (Conditional)
Suitable for composite or GRP components where a clear back-wall echo is present, including:

  • GRP tank shells
  • Composite panels and housings
  • Non-metallic industrial linings
  • Velocity adjustment ensures correct interpretation across varied materials.

6. General Maintenance Thickness Checks

  • Technicians use the DMS Go+ as an everyday tool for:
  • Steel plate verification
  • Fabricated component checks
  • Small-diameter pipe and tube monitoring
  • Equipment and machinery maintenance
  • Fast A-scan interpretation makes it practical for large inspection routes.

Labquip NDT Support

  • Guidance choosing Basic / DMS Go+ / Advanced
  • Probe selection for coated surfaces, high temperature, boiler tubes and austenitic materials
  • Setup assistance for corrosion routes, B-scan workflows and data-logging grids
  • Support with SD card / USB exports and structured reporting
  • Waygate-approved calibration and servicing
