Electromagnetic Eddy-Current Coating Thickness Gauge

This instrument utilizes an alternating magnetic field to generate eddy currents in a conductive substrate, and calculates the thickness of non-conductive coatings by measuring changes in probe impedance. It is used for detecting coatings on surfaces of metals such as aluminum and copper, and for monitoring film thickness uniformity in processes like anodizing and spraying.
Selection
Select the probe frequency based on the conductivity of the substrate, with high frequencies suitable for thin coating detection. Choose a spherical or flat probe according to the curvature adaptation requirements. Built-in temperature compensation is necessary to account for environmental temperature effects. The measurement range should cover the expected coating thickness, and the resolution should be determined based on process tolerances.
