All our standard probes for layer thickness measurement have a high wear resistance measuring pole made of carbide and guarantee a very long service life. The probes are designed for a measuring range up to 1,500 μm. Measurements are possible with both the magnet-inductive measuring method and the eddy current method:
For non-destructive coating thickness measurement on iron and steel the magnetic-inductive principle is used. The coating must be non-magnetic – for instance, varnish, paint, enamel, plastic, glass, aluminium, lead, chrome, copper, brass, zinc, tin, etc.
The eddy-current principle enables the non-destructive coating thickness measurement on non-magnetic metal substrates eg. aluminium, aluminium alloys, lead, bronze, copper, brass, zinc, die-cast zinc, tin. The coatings under test must be electrically insulating; for instance, varnish, paint, enamel, plastic, glass, anodizing coatings and ceramics
The plastic foot at the foot of the probes is additionally provided with a V-groove. Thus, vertical positioning on cylindrical or curved surfaces is facilitated. With an optional hot-measuring set-up foot, coatings up to 150 ° C can be measured. The high-temperature base, which is also available as an accessory, even allows measurements on surfaces of up to 300 °C.
