Automatic Film Thickness Tester

Automatic film thickness gauges emit signals through probe contact or non-contact methods, calculating coating thickness based on reflected or transmitted waves. They are used for real-time monitoring of coating thickness in materials such as paints, inks, and plastics, ensuring compliance with standards during production processes.
Selection
When selecting an automatic film thickness gauge, considerations should include the material type, substrate characteristics, measurement range, and environmental conditions. It is important to match probe technologies such as magnetic induction or eddy current, evaluate accuracy and calibration requirements, and ensure the instrument is suitable for specific application scenarios.
