Overview
The MC-3001 Coating thickness gauge is a universal full-split Coating thickness gauge launched by KODIN. It has been upgraded on the basis of the MC-3000B/S series and is a full-range, multi-functional split coating platings thickness gauge. The instrument host can be configured with all KODIN split Probes. Users can choose one or more Probes for arbitrary matching according to their needs to realize the use of various customized Probes such as magnetic, nonmagnetic and internal anti-corrosion. Measurement range and measurement materials vary according to the Probe model.
Features
1. Using magnetic and eddy Current thickness measurement methods, nondestructive measurement of nonmagnetic or nonconductive coating thickness on various substrates is possible.
6 kinds of probes including F0.5, F1.2, F3, F5, F9 and N1.2 can be used.
3. With temperature compensation function, equipped with Kedian's new "phase-locked loop" technology.
4. With screen flip function, you can manually select flip to display measurement data.
5. Adopt 2.4-inch TFT high definition color screen (320 * 240 pixels), large digital display.
6. Measurement speed can choose two modes of single measurement and continuous measurement.
7. Three methods can be used to calibrate the instrument, and the basic calibrating method can be used to correct the systematic error of the probe.
8. With storage function, it can store more than 10,000 measurement points.
9. With delete function, suspicious data or all stored data in the storage group can be deleted.
10. The limit can be set, and the Measured value outside the limit can be automatically alarmed.
11. Built-in Chinese and English display languages.
12. Measurement unit Metric, imperial convertible.
13. With wireless communication function (Bluetooth 2.0), it can communicate wirelessly with computers and printers.
14. With power undervoltage indication function.
15. There is a beep prompt during the operation.
16. There are two shutdown methods: manual shutdown and automatic shutdown.
17. The V-groove structure facilitates the measurement of coatings on the outer surface of pipes of various sizes.
18. The dedicated large flat bottom Probe structure makes the measurement more stable and Repeatability is higher.
19. Professionally designed anti-skid pad with the anti-skid texture on the back of the case, the operation is comfortable and not easy to fatigue.
Principle
The MC-3001 Coating thickness gauge uses two thickness measurement methods: magnetic Induction and eddy Current. For nonmagnetic coatings (such as zinc, aluminum, paints, etc.) on magnetic metal substrates (such as steel, iron, alloys, etc.), the principle of magnetic Induction is used for measurement; for nonconductive coatings (such as rubber, paints, plastics, etc.) on nonmagnetic metal substrates (such as copper, aluminum, zinc, etc.), the principle of eddy Current measurement is used. The instrument nondestructive measurement of coating thickness through the electromagnetic interaction between the Probe and the coating and the substrate.
Applications
The instrument is suitable for measurement of the thickness of nonmagnetic coatings such as zinc, aluminum, chromium, copper, rubber and paints on magnetic metal substrates such as steel and alloys, and the thickness of nonconductive coatings such as rubber, paints, plastics and anodic oxide coatings on nonmagnetic metal substrates such as copper, aluminum, zinc and tin.
Steps
Select the appropriate Probe according to the measurement requirements (e.g. F0.5, F1.2, F3, F5, F9, N1.2).
2. Connect the Probe to the host.
3. Turn it on and select the display language (Chinese or English) and Measurement unit (metric or imperial) as needed.
4. Choose single measurement or continuous Measurement mode according to the application.
5. Use one of the three calibration methods to calibrate the instrument, and use the basic calibrating method to correct the probe system error if necessary.
6. Probe placed smoothly on the surface of the coating to be tested for measurement.
7. The measurement data will be displayed on the 2.4-inch TFT color screen, and there will be a beep during the operation.
8. The measurement limit can be set, and the excess value will automatically alarm.
9. The measurement data can be automatically stored (up to 10,000 points), and suspicious data or all data can be manually deleted.
10. After the measurement is completed, you can choose to shut down manually or wait for automatic shutdown.
Notice
* Ambient Temperature of the instrument is -10~ 40 ℃, relative humidity ≤ 90% RH, do not use in environments beyond this range.
* Please select the appropriate Measuring method and Probe according to the base material (magnetic or nonmagnetic) and coating properties (nonmagnetic or nonconductive) of the object to be tested.
* Different Probes correspond to different minimum measurement surface sizes (such as F0.5 is 6mm, F1.2 is 9mm, etc.), please ensure that the tested area meets the requirements.
* Measurement accuracy must be calibrated according to the selected Probe and measurement material before use.
* The instrument is powered by 2 AA batteries, please pay attention to the power undervoltage prompt and replace the battery in time.
* The instrument has Data storage and deletion functions, please pay attention to the management of measurement data to avoid accidental deletion.
* Wireless communication (Bluetooth) function can be used to connect to a computer or printer, please use it on demand.
* Keep Probes safe to avoid collisions or drops to maintain measurement Stability.
* When measuring curved surfaces such as pipes, V-groove structure can be used for better contact and measurement results.
