Portable Metal Thickness Gauge

The handheld metal thickness gauge emits ultrasonic or electromagnetic waves through its probe onto the metal surface. It measures the reflection time of the signal between the metal layer and the substrate or the changes in the magnetic field to calculate the thickness value. It is used for on-site detection of coating thickness or material thickness of metal pipes, containers, and plates, and is suitable for non-destructive testing in industries such as shipbuilding, petrochemical, and mechanical manufacturing.
Selection
When selecting, consider whether the measurement range covers the thickness of the object to be measured. For ferrous/non-ferrous materials, choose between magnetic induction or eddy current principles accordingly. For curved surfaces, a small probe is required. For rough surfaces, the instrument must have an automatic calibration function. For outdoor use, pay attention to the protection rating and battery life. A conventional accuracy error within ±1~3% meets the requirements of most industrial scenarios.

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.
