Pocket Thickness Gauge

The thickness gauge measures coating thickness using magnetic induction or eddy current principles. Magnetic induction is used for steel substrates, while eddy current is applied to non-ferrous metal substrates. During operation, the probe contacts the coating surface, and the instrument displays the thickness value. It is used to detect the thickness of coatings such as paint, electroplating, and plastic, ensuring that the coating quality meets the required standards.
Selection
When selecting a thickness gauge, consider the substrate type: use magnetic induction for steel and eddy current for non-ferrous metals. The measurement range should cover the expected thickness, and accuracy must meet inspection requirements. The probe shape should adapt to the curvature of the measured surface, and the instrument should have calibration capabilities. Environmental temperature affects measurement stability, so verify the operating temperature range. Choose the instrument's portability and battery life based on the usage scenario.
