COATING THICKNESS GAUGE - CT Series
|
|
|
With CT (Coating Thickness Gauge) series,
fast, accurate, and easy-to-operate measurements can be achieved.
From practical or functional reasons of preventing corrosion to visual or
aesthetical purposes, coating thickness represents one of the essential
criteria of quality assessment wherever coatings are applied.
Using magnetic induction method and eddy-current method, CT series can
measure various kinds of coatings on steel, iron, non-ferrous metals, and on
stainless steel.
Magnetic Induction Method
Method of measuring the thickness of non-ferrous coatings such as
varnish, paint, enamel, chrome, copper, zinc, etc. on steel and iron
Eddy-Current Method
Method of measuring the thickness of all electrically insulating
coatings such as varnish, paint, and anodizing coatings on non-ferrous
metals and also on stainless steel
FEATURES
-
CT Series’probes have an extremely low mass (about 3 grams).
- there is far less wear and tear on the probe measuring element
- there is far less chance of damage to sensitive coatings
-
Contact pressure of the probe remains almost constant whether measurements are taken from above to down, from the side, or above a user’s head.
- It is possible to take precise measurements on ductile coatings.
-
The operation of the CT series is as easy as the one of a mobile phone.
-
With protection class IP52, gauges are safe from dust and dripping water.
-
FN version automatically recognizes the status of substrate (whether it is ferrous or non-ferrous) and measures correctly
due to its dual-functioning sensors. -
No calibration necessary unless required
-
Three language option: English, French, German (other languages on request)
APPLICATIONS
-
In the automobile and automobile parts industry
-
In paint shops and for electroplaters
-
For wet and powder coating operations
-
For incoming material inspection during production and for final inspection procedures
-
In development engineering and for expert assessment
-
In laboratory and field operations
