Coating Thickness Gauge

1、 Product Overview

handheldCoating Thickness GaugeMainly used to measure the thickness of coatings on various metal substrates (such as iron, aluminum, copper, etc.), such as electroplated coatings (galvanized, nickel plated, copper plated, etc.), coatings (paints, powder coatings, etc.), and oxide layers. It can quickly and accurately measure the thickness of the coating, ensuring product quality, meeting process requirements, and improving production efficiency.

2、 Working principle

Magnetic induction principle: using the attractive force of a magnet on ferromagnetic materials to measure the thickness of the coating. When a magnet approaches the coating, its attraction will change due to changes in coating thickness, and the coating thickness can be determined by measuring this change. This method is suitable for measuring non-magnetic coatings on ferromagnetic substrates, such as galvanized coatings on iron substrates.

Eddy current principle: Eddy current is generated on a conductive substrate through high-frequency AC signals, and the magnitude and phase of the eddy current are related to the thickness of the coating. When the thickness of the coating changes, the characteristics of eddy currents will also change accordingly, thus achieving the measurement of coating thickness. This method is suitable for measuring non-conductive coatings on non ferromagnetic metal substrates, such as paint layers on aluminum substrates.

3、 Product Features

High measurement accuracy: Advanced measurement technology and high-precision sensors are used to accurately measure the thickness of the coating, with small measurement errors and good repeatability.

Wide measurement range: capable of measuring coatings of different thicknesses, ranging from a few micrometers to several hundred micrometers or even thicker coatings, meeting the needs of different application scenarios.

Easy to operate: Instruments usually have a simple and easy-to-use interface. Users only need to place the probe close to the surface of the object to be measured and press the measurement button to complete the measurement, without the need for complex operating steps.

Fast measurement speed: capable of completing measurements in a short period of time, usually only a few seconds per measurement, greatly improving production efficiency.

Non contact measurement: Adopting a non-contact measurement method, it will not cause damage to the surface of the object being measured, and is suitable for measuring coatings that require high surface quality.

Data storage and transmission functions: manyCoating Thickness GaugeEquipped with data storage function, it can store a large amount of measurement data and transmit it to computers or other devices through USB interface or Bluetooth, making it convenient for users to manage and analyze data.
