Car body coating thickness Gauge

The automotive body coating thickness gauge measures the thickness of coatings on metal substrates non-destructively through magnetic induction or eddy current principles. The magnetic induction method is used for steel substrates, where the probe's magnetic reluctance varies with the thickness of the paint film. The eddy current method is applied to non-ferrous metals, where the electromagnetic field of the probe is influenced by the paint film, resulting in differences in induced currents. It is used for coating quality control in automotive manufacturing and repair.
Selection
Select instruments based on magnetic induction or eddy current principles according to the substrate type, taking into account the required coating thickness range and accuracy. Ensure the probe size is suitable for the curvature of the measurement area, and verify the instrument's calibration certificate and temperature adaptability. Portable devices are suitable for on-site inspections, while fixed installations are ideal for continuous measurement on production lines.
