Coating Thickness Gauge
A coating thickness gauge, also known as a paint thickness gauge or DFT meter, is an essential tool for measuring the thickness of a coating or paint on a surface. This tool is crucial in industries such as automotive and construction, where proper coating thickness ensures product durability and quality. There are different types of coating thickness gauges available in the market, including magnetic and eddy current gauges. Magnetic gauges are used to measure non-conductive coatings on ferromagnetic substrates, while eddy current gauges are suitable for non-magnetic coatings on non-ferrous substrates.
The selection of the right gauge depends on the specific application requirements. The cost of a coating thickness gauge can vary from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the features and brand. Some reputable manufacturers of coating thickness gauges include Elcometer, DeFelsko, and TQC. When selecting a gauge, it is essential to consider factors such as accuracy, repeatability, and range of measurement. Some gauges come with additional features such as data storage and analysis capabilities.
Overall, the proper use of a coating thickness gauge ensures accurate readings and consistent performance in your application. It is a valuable tool for ensuring the quality and durability of coated products. Choose a reliable manufacturer and use the gauge correctly to ensure accurate readings and consistent performance in your application.

Coating Thickness Gauge PCE-CT 24FN
The thickness gauge PCE-CT 24FN is a mobile device for the fast and precise determination of eg ink layer thicknesses. With this thickness gauge layer thickness measurements on ferrous and non-ferrous metals can be performed. The measured value is displayed directly on the LC display of the thickness gauge. Thanks to the built-in memory of the thickness gauge and the advanced functions, statistics can be recorded. These statistics can be evaluated directly on the thickness gauge. When evaluating the recorded statistics in the thickness gauge, you can choose between a tabular and a graphical view.
The replaceable batteries can be recharged directly via the thickness gauge. Charging the batteries is possible via a USB port, for example via a computer. Even during the charging process, all functions of the thickness gauge are available. If the thickness gauge is not used, the meter will switch itself off automatically within the set time. This protects the batteries and ensures that the meter is ready for use the next time. Thus, the thickness gauge is also suitable for mobile use.

Coating Thickness Gauge PCE-CT 100
PCE-CT 100 is a coating thickness measuring instrument used to quickly and easily determine coating thicknesses on ferrous (Fe) and non-ferrous (nFe) metals. This compact handheld coating thickness gauge uses magnetic induction (ISO 2178) and eddy current (ISO 2360) coating thickness measurement methods to take non-destructive measurements of coating and dry film thickness (DFT) on metal substrates such as steel and aluminum.
When accompanied by an external sensor probe (sensor probes sold separately - see accessories), this coating thickness gauge is ideal for painted and powder-coated surface testing, automotive and aircraft surface finish inspections, primed and coated materials testing, and manufacturing quality control applications. Alarm limits can be set in the coating thickness gauge to notify the user when a coating is too thick or too thin. If a coating thickness measurement falls outside the established limits, the device produces a visual and audible signal.

Coating Thickness Gauge PCE-CT 5000H
PCE-CT 5000H is a coating thickness measuring instrument used for the rapid determination of coating thicknesses on ferrous (Type F) and non-ferrous (Type N) metals. The coating thickness gauge automatically detects the type of metal to be measured. The PCE-CT 5000H coating thickness gauge uses magnetic induction (ferrous) or eddy current (non-ferrous) to take non-destructive measurements of coating and dry film thickness (DFT) on metal substrates such as steel and aluminum.
This thickness gauge is ideal for painted and powder-coated surface testing, automotive paint inspection, coated material testing, and manufacturing quality control applications. Alarm limits can be set in the coating thickness gauge to notify the user when a coating is too thick or too thin. If a coating thickness measurement falls outside the established limits, a message appears on the display to alert the user.
- Designed for non-destructive testing and inspection
- Measures coating thickness on Fe and nFe metals
- Displays measuring units in μm, mm or mils
- Saves up to 2000 measurements to internal memory
- Practical V-groove on the measuring head
- One- to four-point and zero calibration
- Comfortable one-handed operation
- Programmable alarm limits
- High measuring range
- High measuring accuracy
- Automatic shutdown
- Optional ISO calibration certificate available for purchase separately - see accessories tab for details

Coating Thickness Gauge PCE-CT 5000
The PCE-CT 5000 Coating Thickness Gauge is an instrument for a nondestructive thickness measurement of coatings, such as varnishes, paints, etc. on steel / iron and non-ferrous metals. The extremely wide measuring range of the Coating Thickness Gauge goes up to 5000 µm or 200 mils. Gumming or plastic coatings for shock and impact protection can be controlled just as the thin paint coatings. The Coating Thickness Gauge belongs to the basic equipment for each production, workshop or general quality control systems in order to control the materials at the input and output or even to show the previous paint repairs carried out on the car. Due to its compact design, it is easy to handle the device and there is a possibility of a simple one-button operation. There is also no need to set a complicated measuring mode for the individual measurements. This device automatically detects the basic surface and sets the corresponding mode. The Coating Thickness Gauge is designed and suitable for measurements of non-magnetic coatings such as varnishes, plastics, chrome, copper, zinc, enamel, etc. on steel and iron and all insulating coatings such as varnishes, plastics, enamel, paper, glass, rubber, etc. on copper, aluminum, brass and stainless steel as well as anodized aluminum.

Coating Thickness Gauge PCE-CT 100N
The surface tester works according to the magnetic inductive (ISO 2178) and the eddy current method (ISO 2360). These methods supported by the surface tester are used for the non-destructive testing of materials. The surface tester is used to measure the thickness of magnetically neutral layers on a magnetic or non-magnetic base material.
The surface tester is ideal for reliable layer thickness measurements on site. With the external probe, the layer thickness can be measured quickly and easily, even in hard-to-reach places. The surface tester was developed for non-destructive, fast and precise layer thickness measurements and is easy to use. Measured data can be easily transferred to a PC using a USB data storage device or via WiFi.
The surface tester is used in particular in the finishing industry, electroplating, ship and bridge construction, aircraft construction and the machine and chemical industry.

Coating Thickness Gauge PCE-CT 90
The coating thickness gauge is a versatile measuring instrument. This is made possible by the various optional sensors on the layer thickness gauge. For example, the coating thickness gauge can easily measure the layer thicknesses of paints, galvanic coatings, galvanizing or even anodic oxide layers on metal. With the sensors, for example, layer thickness measurements with a thickness of up to 60 mm are possible.
In addition to the layer thickness sensors for the layer thickness gauge, there is also the climate sensor. With this climate sensor at the coating thickness gauge, the ambient temperature, the ambient humidity and the dew point can be measured. Also, in the film thickness gauge, there is the surface temperature sensor. Thanks to the surface temperature sensor, the surface temperature of an object in a measuring range of -50 ... 125°C / -58 ... 257°F can be determined with the Coating Thickness Gauge.
In addition, the roughness of surfaces can be determined with the layer thickness gauge. This is made possible by the optional roughness meter. With the roughness sensor from the layer thickness gauge, the Rz value of the surface can be determined within a very short time. The measuring range here is between 0 ... 300 μm.
