Zinc Thickness Gauge

The zinc thickness gauge measures the thickness of the zinc coating using the principles of X-ray fluorescence or electromagnetic induction. The X-ray method excites the zinc layer to emit characteristic X-rays, while the electromagnetic method utilizes changes in the magnetic flux of the probe. It is used for quality control of galvanized coatings on steel plates and components to ensure corrosion resistance.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate type: use magnetic principles for iron-based materials and eddy current principles for non-iron-based materials. Clarify the measurement range and accuracy requirements, with 0–300 μm typically chosen for conventional galvanizing. The on-site environment determines whether a portable or benchtop model is needed, and waterproof models are required for humid conditions. Check for compliance with industry standards such as ASTM B499.
