Dual-Purpose Iron and Aluminum Thickness Gauge

The iron-aluminum dual-purpose thickness gauge utilizes magnetic induction and eddy current principles to measure the coating thickness of ferrous materials and non-ferrous metals, respectively. By contacting the probe to the sample surface, the instrument automatically identifies the substrate type and displays the measurement value. It is used to detect the thickness of coatings such as paint, plating, and plastic, and is commonly applied in fields like automotive, construction materials, and pipeline corrosion prevention.
Selection
When selecting a dual-purpose iron and aluminum thickness gauge, it is essential to confirm whether the material being measured is iron-based or non-ferrous metals such as aluminum or copper. Consider whether the measurement range covers the actual coating thickness and if the accuracy meets the process requirements. The shape of the probe should adapt to the curvature of the surface being measured, and the protection rating of the device body should match the usage environment. The calibration method should be straightforward, and data storage functions can be configured as needed.
