Spray Paint Thickness Gauge

The paint thickness gauge measures coating thickness through magnetic induction or eddy current principles. Magnetic induction is used for steel substrates, while the eddy current method is applied to non-ferrous metal substrates. The instrument's probe contacts the coating surface, detects changes in electromagnetic properties between the substrate and the coating, and converts these changes into thickness values. It is used in industries such as automotive and furniture to monitor the uniformity of paint application and ensure coatings meet standards.
Selection
When selecting a paint thickness gauge, it is essential to determine the substrate type. Use a magnetic induction type for ferrous metals and an eddy current type for non-ferrous metals. Consider the coating thickness range, typically 0-2000 micrometers. Check the instrument's accuracy, with an error margin of ±1-3%. Calibration using base plates is necessary to verify accuracy. Handheld models are convenient for on-site use, and the probe size should accommodate different curved surfaces. Environmental temperature affects stability, so it is important to review the specifications.
