Coating Thin Film Thickness Gauge

Coating thickness gauges measure the thickness of coatings on substrates using magnetic induction, eddy current, or ultrasonic principles. The magnetic induction method is used for steel substrates, the eddy current method for non-ferrous metals, and ultrasonic methods can measure multilayer structures. They are used to detect the thickness of coatings such as paint, electroplating, and plastic films to ensure compliance with production standards.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate type: use magnetic induction for steel and eddy current for non-ferrous metals. Choose contact or non-contact measurement based on coating characteristics. Ensure the measurement range and accuracy match the requirements, and verify the instrument's calibration certificate. Environmental factors such as curvature and temperature affect measurement results, so assess their applicability.
