Portable Zinc Plating Thickness Meter

Portable zinc coating thickness gauges measure zinc layer thickness using magnetic induction or eddy current principles. The magnetic induction method is used for steel substrates, where changes in magnetic reluctance between the probe and the substrate reflect the thickness. The eddy current method is suitable for non-ferrous metal substrates, where the alternating magnetic field of the probe generates eddy currents in the substrate, affecting the probe's impedance. The instrument is used for on-site rapid inspection of the anti-corrosion coating thickness of galvanized components, ensuring coating uniformity.
Selection
When selecting, confirm that the substrate type matches the measurement principle: use magnetic induction for ferrous substrates and eddy current for non-ferrous substrates. The measurement range should cover common galvanized coating thicknesses, and the accuracy must meet inspection standards. Consider the probe size to accommodate workpieces of different shapes, and ensure the device's protection rating is suitable for the on-site environment. Verify the instrument's calibration certificate and the configuration of standard calibration foils.
