Desktop Coating Layer Thickness Meter

The desktop coating thickness gauge measures the thickness of the coating on the substrate surface using the principles of magnetic induction or eddy current. It is used for detecting electroplating or sprayed coatings on substrates such as metals and plastics, ensuring coating uniformity in quality inspection and process control.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility between the substrate type and the coating material with the measurement principle. The magnetic induction method is used for steel substrates, while the eddy current method is used for non-ferrous metals. Ensure the measurement range covers the thickness of the sample, the probe size fits the shape of the test piece, and the calibration standards include common thickness values.

The Taber Abraser evaluates the wear resistance of coatings.
The Taber abrasion tester simulates surface wear of materials through rotational friction, used to evaluate the wear resistance of coatings. During testing, a grinding wheel is used to rub the specimen under a fixed load, and performance is quantified by measuring mass loss or thickness changes after a specified number of cycles.
Application of Coating Thickness Gauges in Electroplating Thickness Detection
Coating thickness gauges are used to measure the thickness of electroplated layers, primarily employing the electromagnetic induction method for measuring non-magnetic coatings on magnetic substrates, or the eddy current method for measuring insulating coatings on non-magnetic metal substrates.

Selection of Coating Thickness Measurement Methods: Coulometry vs. Dissolution in Electrolytic Thickness Gauges.
This article compares two techniques in electrolytic thickness gauges: the coulometric method and the dissolution method. The coulometric method measures coating thickness through electrochemical dissolution, making it suitable for single-layer metal coatings with simple operation and high accuracy. The dissolution method, on the other hand, measures thickness via chemical dissolution, making it more appropriate for multilayer or complex coatings.
