Portable Dry Paint Film Thickness Gauge

The portable paint film thickness gauge operates based on the principles of magnetic induction or eddy currents. The probe generates changes in the magnetic field upon contact with the coating, enabling the measurement of the coating thickness on the substrate. It is used for on-site quality inspection of anti-corrosion coatings on steel structures, automotive paint surfaces, furniture coatings, and more.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate type: use the magnetic induction principle for iron-based materials and the eddy current principle for non-iron-based materials. The measurement range should cover the actual coating thickness, and the accuracy must meet inspection standards. The probe size should adapt to the shape of the inspection surface, and the device's protection rating should suit the usage environment.
