| Ultrasonic Coating Thickness Gage |
![]() |
The new portable gauge was especially designed for non-destructive coating thickness measurement of paint, varnish, plastics and other insulation coatings applied on wood, plastics, glass, ceramics etc. as well as for polymer layers on metals. As a special feature, the gauge offers the possibility to measure the total thickness as well as the individual layers of a multi-layer system in only one measuring process. The robust gauge is appropriate for use in the laboratory, in production and on site. |
| Measuring Procedure |
| When the probe is placed on the coated surface, it sends sound pulses which penetrate the coating through to the base material. Provided the coatings and the substrate possess different acoustic properties, these pulses are reflected by the different surfaces and transmitted to the transducer in the probe. The various time intervals are measured and calculated by a microprocessor to give individual and total coating thickness. The time to obtain a reading is approx. 2 seconds or less. If the portable MiniPrint printer is connected all readings and statistical data can be printed out in individual memories and batches. |
