Electromagnetic Eddy-Current Film Thickness Gauge

The eddy current coating thickness gauge generates a high-frequency magnetic field through the probe, inducing eddy currents in the conductive substrate. The intensity of the eddy currents varies with the thickness of the non-conductive coating, and the instrument measures changes in the magnetic field to calculate the coating thickness. It is used to measure the thickness of coatings such as paint and plastic on metal substrates.
Selection
When selecting, confirm the conductivity of the substrate. Use the magnetic induction principle for ferrous substrates and the eddy current principle for non-ferrous substrates. Choose the probe shape based on the surface curvature and roughness. Select a high-temperature-resistant probe for high-temperature environments. Ensure the measurement range covers the expected coating thickness and the accuracy meets the process requirements.
