QNix® 5500 Coating Thickness Gauge |
Whether in industrial coating or job coating, in
heavy corrosion protection or in vehicle evaluation
by automotive experts and retailers: The
QNix® 5500 supports you optimally in checking
your coatings quickly without extensive set up of
the gauge - switch it on, place on surface, and read
the measurement.
The QNix® 5500 is handy, extremely robust, ergonomic and designed for continuous use.
Decide for yourself if you want to use the gauge with the inserted probe or with the probe adaptor cable made of drag chain compatible PUR. |

Features
The bright, 2" large colour LCD with automatic
flip display makes it easier to read the values in
any position - even in dim conditions like in dark
areas inside tanks or bridges or when working in
bright sunlight. The gauge displays all necessary
statistical information of your current measurement
sequence like mean value, maximum and
minimum value and standard deviation.
The large foot and low center of gravity ensures
correct lacement and avoids incorrect measurements.
To measure small or angled areas
simply use the probe cable and transform the
QNix® 5500 into a cable device within a few
seconds. The angled cable connection facilitates
working even in small spaces.
The one button operation allows you fast zero
adjustment on your base metal or on the supplied
zero plates.
For every application, there is the right probe,
which is precise and true over the entire measuring
range varying from 1,25 mm and 3 mm up to
5 mm, available as Fe-, NFe- or dual probes.
Call for more information on special applications and additional film thickness ranges. |

QNix® 5500 Probes
All exchangeable standard probes of the QNix® 5500 can also be used
in the new QNix® 9500. QNix® thus ensures the flexibility and compatibility
of the new probes which are interchangeable between both models.
The QNix® probes have been completely redeveloped:
The standard probes are small and extremely
robust. FE-, NFe- and dual probes with different
measuring ranges are available.
The coating thickness gauge QNix® 5500 is
available with a fixed integrated probe and a
modular, exchangeable probe.
QNix® 5500 changeable probes:
- Stainless steel probes with a protective
membrane IP65 dust and splash water
protection
- Rough measuring head with polished ruby
- Chemical resistant material for cleaning with
solvents (acetone, nitro dilution)
- Probe adaptor cable made of drag chain
compatible PUR
