Portable Metal Thickness Gauge

A portable metal thickness gauge emits ultrasonic or electromagnetic waves through a probe onto the metal surface and calculates the thickness by measuring the echo time or changes in the magnetic field. It is used for on-site inspection of the remaining thickness of metal plates, pipes, and other structures, providing direct data for industrial maintenance and quality control.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement principle of the instrument corresponding to the type of metal: magnetic principles for ferrous metals and eddy current principles for non-ferrous metals. Choose an appropriate probe size and instrument accuracy based on the required thickness range and environmental conditions. Pay attention to the influence of substrate curvature and surface condition on measurements, and ensure the instrument is easy to calibrate.

Application of Coating Thickness Gauges in Electroplating Thickness Detection
Coating thickness gauges are used to measure the thickness of electroplated layers, primarily employing the electromagnetic induction method for measuring non-magnetic coatings on magnetic substrates, or the eddy current method for measuring insulating coatings on non-magnetic metal substrates.
Eddy current thickness gauge measures metal coatings on non-conductive substrates.
The eddy current thickness gauge utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction, generating an alternating magnetic field through the probe coil to induce eddy currents in the metal coating, thereby measuring thickness based on changes in coil impedance.
Coulometric Method Coating Thickness Gauge for Non-Destructive Measurement of Precious Metal Coatings
The coulometric coating thickness gauge measures the thickness by calculating the amount of electricity required to dissolve the precious metal coating through the principle of electrolytic dissolution. This method is non-destructive to the overall sample, only forming tiny electrolytic spots.
Comparison of Dual-Principle Instruments: Magnetic Induction vs. Eddy Current for Coating Thickness Measurement
This article compares the principles of two coating thickness gauges. The choice of method depends on the substrate material: magnetic induction is used for magnetic metals, while eddy current is applied for non-magnetic metals.
Eddy current thickness gauge detects coatings on non-ferrous metals.
The eddy current thickness gauge operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, generating an alternating magnetic field through the probe coil, which induces eddy currents on the surface of non-ferrous metal substrates.
Selection of Coating Thickness Measurement Methods: Coulometry vs. Dissolution in Electrolytic Thickness Gauges.
This article compares two techniques in electrolytic thickness gauges: the coulometric method and the dissolution method. The coulometric method measures coating thickness through electrochemical dissolution, making it suitable for single-layer metal coatings with simple operation and high accuracy. The dissolution method, on the other hand, measures thickness via chemical dissolution, making it more appropriate for multilayer or complex coatings.
