This gauging system is located on a 72” Pro-Eco Pickle Line at National Processing Company. They also have AGT400 systems at their Indiana, Pennsylvania and Nuevo Leon, Mexico facilities.

Senior Field Service Engineer, John Fearing, started up an AGT400 at Aguascalientes Steel Coil Center. This isotope thickness gauge, located on a 72” Sonada Slitter, will measure Hot Rolled, Cold Rolled, Galvanized and Pickled Steel with a thickness range of 0.4 to 6.0 mm. Aguascalientes is a sister company of Kentucky Steel Center, which already has three other AGT400 thickness gauges.
