A paint thickness gauge is an advanced tool used for precise measurement of coating thickness on metal surfaces. It features a clear, backlit LCD display that allows for easy reading of measurement results, even in low light. This tool is designed for precision, versatility, and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for both professionals and hobbyists.

The gauge offers three probe working modes: automatic (AUTO), magnetic induction (F) for measuring on ferromagnetic surfaces, and eddy currents (NFE) for non-magnetic surfaces. This enables accurate measurements on various material types, making it a versatile tool.

Technical Specifications:

• Probe Modes: automatic (AUTO), magnetic induction (F), eddy currents (NFE)


• Measurement Units: micrometers (µm), millimeters (mm), mils (mil)


• Measurement Range: 0-2000 µm


• Power Supply: 2x AAA battery

  3 Probe Modes:

  
  
  
  
  • AUTO – automatic measurement mode adapts to the type of surface.
  
  
  • F – magnetic induction, for ferromagnetic surfaces (e.g., steel).
  
  
  • NFE – eddy currents, for non-magnetic surfaces (e.g., aluminum).

  Three Measurement Units: The user can select one of three measurement units: micrometers (µm), millimeters (mm), or mils (mil), increasing the device’s versatility.

  
  


• 
  

  Measurement Range: The device allows for paint thickness measurement from 0 to 2000 micrometers (µm), making it suitable for checking both thin layers and thick coatings.

  
  


• 
  

  Measurement Statistics: The gauge displays measurement statistics, such as minimum, average, maximum coating thickness, the difference between them, and the number of measurements taken. This function enables quick comparison of results, providing a complete picture of coating thickness.

  
  


• 
  

  Automatic Shut-off: The device automatically turns off 3 minutes after the measurement is completed, saving energy and extending battery life.

  
  


• 
  

  Power Supply: The gauge is powered by two standard AAA batteries, providing long-lasting use.

  
  

Example Applications:

•
