Overview
The MCW-3000A is an eddy current Coating thickness gauge introduced by KODIN. The instrument uses the eddy current measurement principle to easily and nondestructive measurement of the thickness of nonconductive coatings (such as paints, rubber, plastics, oxide films, etc.) on nonmagnetic metal substrates (such as copper, aluminum, zinc, tin, etc.). The instrument uses a unique deviation automatic tracking technology to improve Measurement accuracy. Probe is machined with German process standards and uses new alloy materials, which significantly improves the service life and accuracy of Probe.
Features
1. Adopt unique deviation automatic tracking technology to make Measured value more accurate.
2. Probe is processed using German process standards and uses new alloy materials to enhance service life and accuracy.
3. Measurement mode: Normal mode, MIN Minimum mode, Statistical mode.
4. With Monitoring Measurement mode, the difference can be set and the upper and lower limit alarm setting.
5. Powerful data management capabilities, allowing you to choose to delete a single, a group, or all of your stored data.
6. Support zero point calibrating, two point calibrating and system calibrating.
7. The shutdown mode, backlight switch can be set, and the factory state can be restored.
8. Support printing stored values or statistical values.
9. Provide group storage function, a total of 6 groups, each group can store 99 measurement points, and can be viewed in groups.
Principle
The MCW-3000A eddy current Coating thickness gauge uses the eddy current Measurement principle. When the instrument Probe is close to a nonmagnetic metal substrate, eddy currents are generated within the matrix. The strength of eddy currents is affected by the distance between the Probe and the substrate (i.e. the thickness of the coating). By measuring changes in eddy currents, the instrument can accurately calculate the thickness of the nonconductive coating.
Applications
It is suitable for the measurement of the thickness of nonconductive coatings (such as paints, rubber, plastics, oxide films, etc.) on nonmagnetic metal substrates (such as copper, aluminum, zinc, tin, etc.).
Steps
1. Boot preparation: Make sure the battery is fully charged (icon prompt in the upper left corner).
2. calibrating instrument: according to the measurement needs, zero point calibrating, two point calibrating or system calibrating.
3. Select Measurement mode: According to the measurement needs, select Normal mode, MIN Minimum mode or Statistical mode.
4. Perform measurement: Probe vertically and smoothly contact the coating surface to be tested and read the Measured value on the display screen.
5. Data management: After measurement, you can choose to store data (a total of 6 groups, 99 points per group), view stored values, delete data or print data.
6. Monitoring Settings (Optional): In Monitoring Measurement mode, you can set the difference, upper and lower limit alarms.
7. Shutdown: operate according to the preset shutdown mode.
Notice
• Before measurement, the instrument should be properly calibrated according to the substrate material and measurement requirements.
• During measurement, Probe should contact the coating surface vertically and smoothly to avoid tilting or shaking.
• The instrument is suitable for measurement of nonconductive overlays on nonmagnetic metal substrates, do not use for Miscellaneous material combinations.
• Pay attention to the battery voltage prompt, charge or replace the battery in time to ensure the Measurement accuracy.
When storing data, be careful to group it to avoid data confusion.
• Probe safe after use to avoid severe impact or corrosion.
