MC-3 Portaprobe most rugged gauge in the industry
RUGGED AND INTELLIGENT WITH
ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
MC-3 Portaprobe Nuclear Moisture/Density Gauge has maintained its
reputation as the most rugged, accurate, low maintenance and easy to operate
gauge for over 30 years. The gauge electronics and LCD display have recently
been updated for improved reliability and performance.
The gauge LCD has been changed to a large sunlight readable high resolution
LCD with 120o viewing angle. Now you can easily read and navigate through
the intelligent display instructions. The scalar and baseboard electronics of
the gauge have been redesigned with surface mount components for better
reliability and resistance to environmental humidity and moisture damage.
With computer interface capability, data storage features and all aluminum
casing, MC-3 continues to be the most advanced, most reliable and most
rugged gauge in the construction industry.
