Portable Paint/Coating Thickness Gauge

The portable coating thickness gauge operates based on the principles of magnetic induction or eddy currents. When the probe contacts the coating, it generates an electromagnetic field. The thickness is calculated based on the differences in electromagnetic properties between the substrate and the coating. It is used for rapid on-site measurement of paint or plating thickness on metal substrates, helping to control coating quality.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement principle with the substrate type: use magnetic induction for ferrous substrates and eddy current for non-ferrous substrates. Choose the measurement range based on the coating thickness specifications. For curved surfaces, opt for a small probe. Pay attention to the instrument's calibration method, environmental durability, and data storage capabilities.
