Electromagnetic Eddy-Current Paint Thickness Gauge

The eddy current coating thickness gauge generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field through the probe, inducing eddy currents in non-ferromagnetic metal substrates. Changes in coating thickness cause variations in eddy current intensity, and the instrument measures the signal difference to calculate the thickness. It is used for detecting the thickness of paint or plastic coatings on substrates such as aluminum and copper, commonly employed in quality inspection in the automotive and electronics industries.
Selection
When selecting, confirm that the substrate is a non-ferrous metal, and the measurement range covers the expected thickness. Consider the probe size to fit curved surfaces for measurement, and ensure the calibration shim matches the conductivity of the substrate. Note that ambient temperature affects accuracy, and handheld devices are suitable for on-site operations. Check the instrument certifications and error margins to ensure long-term stability.
