Coating Thickness Meter

The paint thickness gauge measures the coating thickness using magnetic induction or eddy current principles. The magnetic induction method is used for steel substrates, while the eddy current method is used for non-ferrous metal substrates. During operation, the probe contacts the coating surface, and the instrument displays the coating thickness value. It is applied in coating quality inspection, anti-corrosion layer acceptance, and product final inspection.
Selection
When selecting, ensure the substrate type matches the measurement principle. Use magnetic induction for steel substrates and eddy current for non-ferrous metals. Consider the measurement range to cover common coating thicknesses and verify the instrument’s calibration certificate. Pay attention to the probe size to accommodate different curved surfaces, with handheld types being suitable for on-site use. Ensure temperature and humidity adaptability aligns with the actual working environment.
