The Extech TKG series of ultrasonic, portable thickness gauges are specifically designed to measure the remaining wall thickness of primarily steel structures. The TKG100 is a base gauge offering a simple user interface in the custom molded high-density plastic case with rubber keypad. It offers reliable, accurate thickness readings. The TKG150 contains all of the same features as the TKG100, along wih a 50,000 reading datalogger capacity with complete setup tracking, an echo to echo option to reduce coating errors, and a vibrate on alarm function. The TKG250 includes all of the features of the two previous models, in addition to a color LCD display that shows red, yellow, and green visual alarm indications. It also offers a gain adjustement and automated transducer replacement notification feature.

It also offers a gain adjustement and automated transducer replacement notification feature.The B-scan function displays a visual cross section of inspection area with no correlation to distance. TKG250's file compare feature can serve as a real-time corrosion monitor.When powering on, the gauge does an automatic zeroing of the transducer, thus eliminating the need for an on-block zero. This feature ensures the transducer is working in accordance with electronic zeroing procedures, particularly important on high temperature materials.
These pressure gauges are ideal for measurements in boiler tubes, pressure vessels, storage tanks, ship hulls, containers, home oil tanks, pipes, steam lines, compressors, shafts, bridge pins, and bond inspections.

Save our Bogs! Culture, Conservation and Climate Action in Ireland’s Peatlands
Characterized by long-term accumulation under waterlogged conditions, peatlands exist on every continent and account for 3-4% of the global land surface . Small but mighty, these often overlooked wetland environments are estimated to hold as much as one-third of the world's organic carbon in their soil—twice the amount found in the entirety of the Earth's forest biomass. While healthy peatlands can trap and store carbon, regulate water, and provide important habitats for rare species, human alteration has disturbed peatland carbon and nitrogen cycles on a global scale. Approximately 12% of the world’s peatlands have been drained and degraded through conversion for agriculture, forestry, infrastructure development, and other uses.

Sargassum Surge: How Seaweed is Transforming our Oceans and Coastal Ecosystems
Until recently, Sargassum –a free-floating seaweed–was distributed throughout the Sargasso Sea , the north Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. But in the space of a decade, this seaweed has, as one scientist remarks , “Gone from a nonfactor to the source of a terrible crisis.” Driven by climate change, anomalous North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009-2010 and a glut of anthropogenic pollutants, sargassum has proliferated. Seasonally recurrent mats as deep as 7m now bloom in the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB), which covers areas of the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Every year, millions of tons wash up along the shores of more than 30 countries . Dr.

Great Lakes Research Center: Designing Targeted Monitoring Solutions
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.
