Dual-purpose dry film thickness Gauge

The dual-purpose dry film thickness gauge operates on the principles of magnetic induction and eddy current. The magnetic induction method is used to measure the thickness of non-magnetic coatings on steel substrates, while the eddy current method is employed to measure the thickness of insulating coatings on non-ferrous metal substrates. It is widely used for on-site rapid detection of coatings and electroplating layer thickness, with common applications in steel structure anti-corrosion and automotive spray coating industries.
Selection
When selecting, ensure the substrate properties and coating type match the instrument's principle: use magnetic induction for steel substrates and eddy current for non-ferrous metals. Verify that the measurement range covers the thickness of the coating to be tested and that the error range meets the inspection requirements. Consider the probe size to accommodate the curvature of the measurement surface. Portable devices are suitable for fieldwork, while fixed devices are ideal for assembly lines. Check for calibration capabilities using standard samples and data storage functions.
