A gauge for
your needs
Basic model features direct measurement with full statistics. Standard models adds a memory capacity of 250 individual readings in a single batch. Top model offers enhanced memory of 40,000 readings in up to 999 batches. Data output available on all models.
Separate
/Integral
Separate Probe gauge becomes an integral gauge with unique PINIP probe
Fast and
accurate
Greater than 60 readings per-minute probably the fastest coating thickness gauge in the world.
Complete data
management
All gauges supplied with user definable statistics which include Number of Readings Mean, Highest/Lowest Readings, Standard Deviation and Co-efficient of Variation.
12 Month
Guarantee


Except for wear and tear, gauges or probes will be replaced, or repaired, free of charge if a fault develops caused by design, materials or workmanship.

Measures
coatings anywhere
Integral "big foot" probe for maximum convenience and extra stability, ideal for use on large, flat and curved surfaces. Selection of separate "job specific" probes for easy access to hard-to-reach areas

Measurement Options


Ferrous (F) Operation using electromagnetic induction probes for all non-magnetic coatings on a ferrous (magnetic) substrate, e.g. paint, plastic, enamel, powder, rubber, ceramic, galvanizing, zinc, sprayed metal (aluminum or zinc), etc. on steel, cast iron, ferritic and duplex stainless steel, substrates etc.
Non-Ferrous (N) Operation using eddy current probes for non-conductive coatings on nonferrous metal substrates, e.g. anodizing, paint, powder, lacquer, plastic, etc. on aluminum, brass, zinc, stainless steel, copper, titanium substrates etc.
Dual (FNF) Operation combines the Ferrous and Non-Ferrous operation in a single probe. The gauge has user selection for auto or manual substrate determination.

 


Scale Ranges; Interchangeable Probe Options


Integral Probe Options: F1, F2, F1 2, F3, N1 & FNF1 Scales
PINIP™ Probe Options (Plug IN Integral Probe) Available with separate probe models for F1, N1 and FNF1 Scales.
Separate Probe Options: F1, F2, F1 2, F3, N1, N1A & FNF1 Scales
Right Angle Separate Probes: F1, F1 2, N1 and FNF1 Scales.
Telescopic Separate Probe: F1 and F2 Scales
Note: The F1 2 scale combines the F1 scale with the F2 scale in a single probe (Patent applied for) with the user selecting the appropriate range for the work in hand
