Digital Coating Thickness Gauge Working Principle

Elcometer offer a range of digital coating thickness gauges from the new elcometer 456 available with either integral or separate probes the elcometer 415 paint and powder thickness gauge to the elcometer 311 automotive refinishing gauge.

Digital coating thickness gauge working principle.

The eddy current principle is used for non conductive coatings on non ferrous metals substrates. Paint thickness gauges ultrasonic coating thickness gauges digital thickness gauges and many more options are available to test plastics glass ceramics metal and other materials. How does a coating thickness gauge work. Digital coating thickness gauges are ideal to measure coating thickness on metallic substrates.

Dry film thickness can be measured on either magnetic steel surfaces or non magnetic metal surfaces such as stainless steel or aluminium using a digital coating thickness gauge. The principle of electromagnetic induction is used for non magnetic coatings on magnetic substrates such as steel. The ability to gauge thickness measurement without requiring access to both sides of the test piece offers this technology a multitude of possible applications. Use it to measure nonmagnetic coatings such as paint galvanizing plating and enamel on steel.

Elcometer 456 series coating thickness gauge engl and elcometer 456 series digital coating thickness ga uge working principle. The magnetic inductive and the eddy current principle. F version is measured by electromagnetic induction nf version is measured by eddy current modules languages menus in 26 languages. For non destructive coating thickness measurement on iron and steel i e.

For readings in mils one mil equals 0 001. We are largest seller of coating thickness gauge in india caltech engineering services india offers cm 8826 digital coating thickness meter with f n probes cm 8826 coating thickness gauge has dual technology features selection of magnetic induction or eddy current measurement techniques. The principle of electromagnetic induction is used for non magnetic coatings on magnetic substrates such as steel. This gauge displays readings in mils and microns.

Ferro magnetic substrates the magnetic inductive principle is used. It comes with a calibration certificate traceable to nist that states it has passed a test for accuracy. The phynix gauges allow the non destructive thickness measurement of coatings and use two different methods.
