Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge for Wood Coatings

The ultrasonic wood coating thickness gauge utilizes high-frequency sound waves to penetrate the coating, which reflect at the wood interface. By measuring the round-trip time of the sound waves, the coating thickness is calculated. It is used to detect the thickness of paint films and protective coatings on wood products such as furniture and building materials, ensuring the uniformity of the coating application.
Selection
When selecting, consider the flatness of the wood and match the probe frequency with the coating type, using high-frequency probes for hardwoods; choose portable or fixed equipment based on the on-site environment; check whether the instrument’s calibration range covers common wood coating thicknesses; ensure the operation interface is simple and easy to read.
