Surface Film Thickness Gauge

The surface coating thickness gauge measures the thickness by detecting the differences in physical properties between the substrate and the coating using magnetic induction or eddy current principles. It is used to inspect the thickness of coatings or platings on metallic or non-metallic substrates, and is applied in quality control within the automotive and electronics industries.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the substrate type with magnetic induction or eddy current principles, ensure the measurement range covers the expected coating thickness, the accuracy meets process requirements, the probe shape accommodates the curvature of the measured surface, and the calibration method aligns with on-site operational practices.
