Coating Thickness Inspection Meter

The coating thickness gauge measures the thickness of coatings through magnetic induction or eddy current principles. The magnetic induction method is used for ferrous materials, while the eddy current method is applied to non-ferrous materials. Its purpose is to quickly detect coating thickness during production or quality inspection, with applications including quality control of coatings in industries such as automotive, shipbuilding, and construction.
Selection
When selecting a coating thickness gauge, consider the substrate type: magnetic induction for ferrous substrates and eddy current for non-ferrous substrates. Choose the measurement range based on the coating thickness range and select the resolution according to accuracy requirements. Pay attention to the probe size to ensure compatibility with the measurement surface. Portable models are suitable for on-site use, while fixed models are ideal for laboratory settings. Environmental factors, such as temperature effects, should also be evaluated.

The wet film thickness gauge is a mechanical tool used to measure the thickness of liquid varnish coatings.
