Powder Layer Thickness Gauge

The coating thickness gauge measures the changes in magnetic flux or eddy currents between the coating and the substrate through magnetic induction or eddy current principles, converting them into thickness values. It is used to detect the thickness of surface treatment layers such as spraying and electroplating, ensuring compliance with process requirements, and is applied in automotive and home appliance manufacturing.
Selection
When selecting a powder coating thickness gauge, consider matching the measurement principle with the substrate type (metal or non-metal), ensuring the measurement range covers the coating thickness to be tested, the accuracy meets standard requirements, ease of operation, environmental adaptability such as temperature and humidity, as well as the convenience of calibration and maintenance.

Selection of Coating Thickness Gauges Using Magnetic and Eddy Current Methods on Different Substrates
This article introduces two main methods for coating thickness gauges: the magnetic method and the eddy current method. When choosing a method, the key is to determine it based on the electromagnetic properties of the substrate.
Application of Coating Thickness Gauges in Electroplating Thickness Detection
Coating thickness gauges are used to measure the thickness of electroplated layers, primarily employing the electromagnetic induction method for measuring non-magnetic coatings on magnetic substrates, or the eddy current method for measuring insulating coatings on non-magnetic metal substrates.
Ultrasonic thickness gauge for detecting thick coatings and composite coatings.
Ultrasonic thickness gauges measure coating thickness using the principle of ultrasonic pulse reflection, calculating the result based on the propagation time of sound waves in the material and the speed of sound. When detecting thick coatings and composite coatings, challenges such as acoustic attenuation of the material, unknown sound speed, and signal recognition at multi-layer interfaces must be addressed.
