COATING THICKNESS GAGES
PRECISION Thickness MEASURING
Coating Thickness Gages are precision instruments used to measure the thickness of coatings on a substrate. They are commonly used in manufacturing, quality control, and research applications, where the thickness of a coating can affect its performance and durability.
Coating Thickness Gages can measure coatings on a variety of substrates, including metal, plastic, and wood. They use different methods to measure the thickness of the coating, depending on the type of coating and substrate being measured. For example, magnetic induction is commonly used for measuring non-magnetic coatings on ferrous substrates, while eddy current is used for non-ferrous substrates.
Coating Thickness Gages can be either digital or analog, and they may come in handheld or benchtop models. Some models have interchangeable probes or tips to accommodate different types of coatings and substrates.
One of the advantages of Coating Thickness Gages is their ability to measure the thickness of a coating without damaging the substrate or the coating itself. They are also highly accurate and can provide precise measurements in a matter of seconds.
Overall, Coating Thickness Gages are essential tools for many industries and applications, including automotive, aerospace, and marine, where the thickness of coatings can affect performance, durability, and safety.
