Pocket Thickness Tester

The handheld thickness gauge measures material thickness non-destructively using ultrasonic or electromagnetic induction principles. The probe contacts the sample surface to emit a signal and receives the reflected wave, calculating the time difference to determine the thickness value. It is used to detect the thickness uniformity of coatings, films, plates, and other materials, and to assess compliance with standards in construction quality inspection and production monitoring.
Selection
Select the measurement principle based on the type of material being tested: use magnetic induction for magnetic substrates and ultrasonic for non-metallic materials. Consider the measurement range to cover the thickness of the sample, and ensure the accuracy meets tolerance requirements. Choose a probe size suitable for the inspection area, opting for a smaller probe for curved surfaces. Account for environmental factors such as temperature by selecting models with compensation functions. Ensure the operating interface is clear and easy to read for on-site data collection.
