Planar Material Thickness Gauge

The flat thickness gauge measures coating thickness through magnetic induction or eddy current principles. The magnetic induction method is used for steel substrates, while the eddy current method is applied to non-ferrous metal substrates. The instrument's probe generates a magnetic field and calculates the coating thickness based on changes in magnetic reluctance or eddy current effects. It is used to detect the thickness of coatings on flat surfaces, such as paint, electroplating, and plastic, ensuring compliance with production standards.
Selection
When selecting a surface thickness gauge, consider the substrate type: use magnetic induction for steel and eddy current for non-ferrous metals. Ensure the measurement range covers the expected thickness and the accuracy meets process requirements. Check the calibration method of the instrument, including support for substrate zeroing and calibration with standard shims. Evaluate whether the probe size is suitable for the inspection area, with portable models being ideal for on-site use and fixed models suitable for production line installation. Verify that the data storage and output functions align with recording needs.
