Coating thickness meter for measuring coatings on steel or non.ferrous metals |
The PCE-CT 30 coating thickness meter measures coating thickness on steel and non-ferrous metals without damaging the surface. The menu and adjustment for new parameters convert the PCE-CT 30 coating thickness meter into an indispensable device for testing during production, in workshops and in quality control. The ergonomical form of the coating thickness meter and its integrated sensor make it easy to use allowing for quick and accurate readings. It has been designed for measuring non-magnetic coatings such as lacquer, plastic, copper, chrome, zinc and enamel on steel and iron, as well as insulating coatings such as lacquer, plastic, enamel, paper, glass and rubber on copper, aluminium, brass, stainless steel and anodised aluminium. |

Here is the PCE-CT taking a measurement. |
The coating thickness meter is used, above all, in the automotive industry. Who has bought a car that is supposedly never been in an accident, to later discover an area that has sustained major damage? It is not necessary to be an expert in materials, but it would be helpful to have the ability to determine if a car has been damaged and then repaired. The PCE-CT 30 coating thickness meter is the solution for easily determining the condition of body work on a car. Simple select the type of base material, either steel or aluminium, place the device on the area that you wish to measure and the reading will tell you if the coating of paint is uniform and to the correct thickness as applied originally by the manufacturer. In cases where body filler has been used, the coating on the metal will be more than one millimeter. The PCE-CT 30 coating thickness meter hs a range of 0 to 3500 µm (3.5mm). In cases where abnormal thickness are determined, it would be time to question the condition of the car and be more cautious. The coating thickness meter can also be used in whichever industry where there is the need to measure the thickness of coatings on ferrous or non-ferrous materials. An example of this is galvanizing. To ensure that the coating thickness meter is showing the correct reading, there is a calibration standard included with the device. An optional ISO calibration can be ordered to ensure readings meet ISO standards. The certificate includes the measurement values and the serial number of the device. There is also a testing plate that will help determine when a recalibration is required. |
