Detailed Overview

An advanced coating thickness gauge with an external, interchangeable F/N probe for enhanced flexibility and access to difficult areas. It provides accurate thickness readings for paint, powder, and other coatings on both magnetic and non-magnetic substrates. The external probe offers a flexible solution for complex geometries and continuous monitoring, ensuring complete and compliant coverage.

Advanced dual-mode gauge with integrated statistics and data storage for professional reporting.

• Similar to the entry-level model but with added features like internal memory, statistical analysis of readings (e.g., Min, Max, Avg), and user-defined calibration points.
• This makes it ideal for professional coating inspectors requiring detailed quality reports and traceability, meeting stringent industry standards.
• The product consists of the advanced dual-mode gauge, a comprehensive set of calibration standards, and a carrying case.
• The external probe improves measurement stability and accessibility in confined or awkward spaces.

Top Features & Benefits

• F&N model for both ferrous (Magnetic Induction) and non-ferrous (Eddy Current) substrates.
• Features an external/separate probe for hard-to-reach areas and continuous scanning.
• High measurement precision and resolution (down to 0.1 micron).
• Large memory capacity for storing thousands of readings and batches.
• Statistical analysis (Min/Max/Avg/Standard Deviation) for quality reporting.
• Multiple calibration modes including zero-point and two-point calibration.
• Automatic substrate identification (Fe or NFe).

Primary Uses & Functions

An advanced gauge used to measure the thickness of non-magnetic coatings on magnetic substrates (Fe) and non-conductive coatings on non-magnetic substrates (NFe). Its primary function is recording and analyzing data for Quality Control (QC) documentation.

Real-World Applications

• Measuring Non-Magnetic Coating Thickness (e.g., paint, zinc, chrome) on Ferrous (F) substrates.
• Measuring Non-Conductive Coating Thickness (e.g., powder, plastic, anodizing) on Non-Ferrous (N) substrates (e.g., aluminum, brass).
• Quality control in painting, powder coating, and plating industries.
• Corrosion protection monitoring for industrial assets.
