Product overview Non-destructive coating and paint thickness gauge that automatically detects the substrate type for reliable readings. Designed for fast, on-site verification of metal coatings and surface finishes without damaging the part. Key benefits — why you need it Saves time and reduces waste by measuring coating thickness without stripping or cutting samples. Automatic substrate recognition removes guesswork and speeds up measurement setup. Portable, slip-resistant design with a comfortable grip makes it easy to carry and use in the field or on the shop floor. Accurate on a wide range of surface conditions — smooth, rough, thin, and curved — so you can trust results across different parts and materials. Main functions and compatibility Non-destructive measurement of paint and coating thickness. Compatible with common coatings such as paint, enamel, and chrome on steel. Also measures paint on aluminum and copper, plus anodized (eloxated) coatings. Can be placed directly on parts for quick spot checks and routine inspection. Design and usability Ergonomic, slip-resistant housing provides stable contact and reduces user error. Easy to position anywhere on the workpiece for consistent measurements on flat and contoured surfaces. Portable and convenient for handheld use and field inspections. Practical applications Automotive: Inspect paint thickness on steel body panels and verify uniform application after repairs or refinishing. Electroplating and metal finishing: Check chrome and other metal coatings on steel components to ensure process control. Manufacturing and maintenance: Verify paint on aluminum or copper parts and confirm anodized finishes meet specifications. What it solves Eliminates the need for destructive testing methods and time-consuming lab work. Reduces rework and rejects by enabling fast verification during production and after surface treatments. Improves quality control with consistent, repeatable measurements across varied substrates and surface conditions.
