Physical Thickness Gauge

Physical thickness gauges measure material thickness directly through mechanical contact or ultrasonic reflection. They calculate thickness values by using probes to contact the surface or by measuring the time difference of sound wave reflections at interfaces between different media. These gauges are used for thickness detection and quality control of industrial products such as coatings, films, and plates.
Selection
When selecting a physical thickness gauge, consider the material type and substrate characteristics, choose the appropriate measurement range based on the required scope, pay attention to measurement accuracy and repeatability indicators, evaluate the probe size and its adaptability to the measurement environment, confirm the calibration method and the availability of standard calibration pieces, and check whether the data output and operation interface meet your usage needs.
