Depth Gauge Gimex 30/60 digital model 218.081.N for measuring up to 30/60 cm

Digital depth gauge Gimex 30/60 (model 218.081.N) is a handheld measuring instrument designed to determine shallow depth values with a maximum range of 30/60 cm. The device provides measurements on a clear digital display and is intended for quick, repeatable checks in field and workshop environments. Typical applications include checking snow depth, measuring soil or silt layers, assessing shallow water depth and other tasks that require easy-to-read short-range depth data.

Advantages

The Gimex 30/60 digital depth gauge combines portability with rapid digital readout, enabling fast single-person measurements. Its compact handheld design allows use in confined or remote locations, while the digital display reduces reading errors compared with analogue scales. The instrument is suitable for outdoor and workshop conditions and supports repeated measurements with consistent results.

Suitable for

• Measuring snow depth on trails, roofs and open terrain
• Checking soil or peat layer thickness in agricultural and environmental surveys
• Assessing shallow water or puddle depth for site inspections
• Quick depth checks in workshops, construction sites and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Measurement range: up to 30/60 cm
• Display type: digital readout for direct numeric values
• Form factor: handheld, compact design for single-person operation
• Typical use environment: field and workshop conditions, outdoor use
• Measurement target types: snow, soil, shallow water and similar shallow-depth media

How to use

Position the depth gauge vertically over the surface or medium to be measured and operate according to the device controls to obtain a stable reading on the digital display. For snow or soil, ensure the probe or measuring tip makes contact with the lower boundary to record the full depth. On uneven surfaces, take multiple readings at nearby points and average the values if a representative depth is required. Observe basic handling care to avoid impacts or excessive bending of the unit.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, clean the measuring tip before each measurement and allow the display to stabilise. In cold outdoor conditions, keep batteries at recommended temperatures and check battery level prior to extended field use. When measuring soft or loose media, apply consistent downward pressure to reach the true bottom without compressing the material excessively.
