Digital Paint Film Thickness Meter

Digital coating thickness gauges measure the thickness of coatings on substrates using magnetic induction or eddy current principles. When the probe contacts the coating, it generates an electrical signal, which the instrument converts into a thickness value for display. They are used to detect the thickness of coatings such as paint, plating, and plastic on metal or non-metal substrates, ensuring that the coating quality meets the required standards.
Selection
Select a magnetic induction (ferrous) or eddy current (non-ferrous) probe based on the substrate material. Ensure the measurement range covers the thickness of the coating to be tested and the accuracy meets the inspection requirements. The probe shape should match the curvature of the surface being measured, and the instrument should have calibration functions and data storage capabilities. Its environmental adaptability should comply with on-site usage conditions.
