Sheet Metal Thickness Gauge

The plate thickness gauge measures material thickness using ultrasonic or electromagnetic induction principles. The probe contacts the plate to emit signals and receives echoes to calculate the time difference or changes in magnetic flux, thereby determining the thickness value. It is used to detect thickness uniformity during the production of metal, plastic, glass, and other plates, ensuring compliance with specification requirements.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the measurement range should cover the material thickness, and the accuracy should meet the tolerance requirements. Choose ultrasonic or electromagnetic types based on material characteristics: use magnetic induction for ferrous materials and eddy current for non-ferrous materials. Environmental factors such as temperature and curvature affect probe selection, and the operation interface should be simple and easy to read.
