A paint thickness gauge also called paint thickness meter, it is a specialized instrument designed for non destructive testing to accurately measure coating thickness on various substrates, especially automotive and vehicle panels made of ferrous and non ferrous metals such as steel and aluminum. The thickness gauges use measurement technologies including magnetic induction, electromagnetic induction, eddy current methods and ultrasonic techniques to determine the thickness of clear coat, base coat, primer layers and total paint systems with high accuracy and resolution. They is available in digital, mechanical and ultrasonic models and widely used in detailing, paint inspection, buffing, polishing, detecting repainted areas and accident detection. The essential features include calibration with plates, automatic substrate identification, multiple measurement units, data storage and Bluetooth connectivity. They key factors that determine the best paint thickness gauge includes its measuring range, accuracy, resolution, ability to measure on both ferrous and non ferrous metals, easy to use, durability of sensors such as ruby tipped probes, compliance with industry standards, price and cost considerations and supplier reputation backed by reviews. These comprehensive attributes ensure reliable, precise, and efficient measurement for quality control applications. Now you can view the product details of paint thickness guage below.
This instrument uses the eddy current measurement method to non-destructively measure the thickness of non-conductive insulating coatings on non-magnetic metal substrates (such as rubber, plastic, paint, and oxide films on aluminum, copper, zinc, and tin).
