Thickness Measuring Gauge

A thickness gauge measures the distance difference between the surface of a material and a reference plane through mechanical contact or non-contact methods. It is used for thickness detection of materials such as coatings, films, and metals. Its principle is based on caliper structure, magnetic induction, or ultrasonic reflection, and it is widely applied in production line quality control and coating uniformity inspection.
Selection
When selecting a thickness gauge, consider the material characteristics: use non-contact methods for soft materials, and magnetic induction types for metal substrates. Choose the measuring range based on accuracy requirements, and pay attention to the influence of environmental temperature on measurements. Regularly calibrate with standard shims, and keep the probe clean during operation to avoid scratching the sample.
