Ceramic Coating Thickness Gauge

The elcometer range of destructive coating thickness gauges includes the elcometer 121 4 paint inspection gauge the paint inspection gauge commonly known as the p i g is a popular method for determining dry film thicknesses on non metallic substrates.

Ceramic coating thickness gauge.

Elcometer offers a wide range of coating thickness gauges to measure dry film thickness. The precision coating thickness gauge uses the ultrasonic pulse run time method. The first instrument of its kind the quintsonic 7 enables coating measurement on fibre reinforced plastics e g. This pen shaped gauge is good for use on hard to reach surfaces.

Memory stores up to 150 000 readings in up to 2500 batch files that are each capable of storing a distinct calibration. Positector 200 emit a high frequency sound pulse that travels into the coating via a coupling gel and reflects from any surface that is different in density coating thickness readings are obtained by measuring the time taken for the ultrasonic signal to propagate from the probe to the coating substrate interface and back. This gauge displays readings in mils and microns. It comes with a calibration certificate traceable to nist that states it has passed a test for accuracy.

The thickness of the test coating affects the change in the magnetic power of the changeless attraction which acts through the lid on the metal. This mil thickness gauge can be used on ferrous metals such as cast iron carbon steel and stainless steel as well as non ferrous metals such as aluminum. Formal quality systems such as those described in iso 9001 require coating thickness gauges to be properly controlled logged and calibrated. Various types of coating thickness gauges mechanical coating thickness gauges.

The importance of coating thickness gauge calibration. The origin of the detachment of an electromagnet is managed to estimate the depth of covers on iron. Ensuring correct measurements of coating is vital for a pristine look and an even finish. Coating thickness gauges.

Increasingly users are specifying that the readings taken by thickness gauges are traceable to national standards. All new elcometer 456 top ferrous and non ferrous metal substrate coating thickness gauge with integral probe. Ultrasonic coating thickness gages e g. For readings in mils one mil equals 0 001.

The positector 6000 is a rugged fully electronic coating thickness gauges use magnetic and eddy current principles to measure coating thickness on all metals accurately and quickly. That is a 40. Use it to measure nonmagnetic coatings such as paint galvanizing plating and enamel on steel.
