## Description

CEM Paint Thickness Gauge,Car Boat Coating Tester with Calibration Plates&Battery,Fe/NFe Automatic Recognition Portable Digital Thickness Meter Detector,Backlight LCD Display,USB Data Storage&Case

## Features

- Calibration Function: The paint thickness gauge is calibrated before leaving the factory and can be recalibrated if necessary. It features four calibration methods: basic calibration, zero point calibration, one-point calibration, and two-point calibration. It comes with one steel and one aluminum calibration base, as well as several calibration standard sheets to facilitate customer calibration, enhancing ease of operation and measurement accuracy
- Measuring Principle: The paint gauge thickness meter employs electromagnetic induction (F probe) and eddy current (NF probe) principles, allowing it to automatically detect substrate types such as ferrous metals (like iron and steel) and non-ferrous metals (like aluminum, copper,and zinc).This device is used to measure various coatings, including paint layers,varnish layers, anodized layers,enamel layers,plated layers,plastics,powder coatings, ceramic coatings and is ready to use right out of the box.It is commonly used for measuring paint thickness on various parts of vehicle bodies, evaluating the uniformity of paint,and checking for signs of past accident repairs or repaints on used cars
- Ease of Operation: The coating thickness gauge is simple to operate; just turn on the device and press the probe against the object to be measured. The instrument will automatically complete all operations, including detecting the substrate type, and provide readings almost instantly. Its probe is made of ruby material, which enhances measurement accuracy, durability, and wear resistance. The hardness of ruby is second only to diamond, allowing it to maintain high wear resistance and stability in coating thickness measurements
- Measuring Range and Accuracy: The thickness gauge has a measuring range of 0 to 1250 µm (0 to 49.21 mils), with an accuracy of ±3% + 1 µm (3% + 0.039 mils). It has a resolution of up to 0.1 µm / 0.01 mil and supports switching between µm, mm, and mils, enabling quick and effective measurement of any surface shape—concave, rough, and convex
- Easy-to-Read Display: This paint depth gauge is equipped with a high-contrast backlit LCD display, ensuring easy reading even in low-light conditions. The backlight design makes the values clearer. The large LCD high-definition display greatly enhances the reading experience, making it easy to read and featuring a battery level indicator
- Data Recording: The data hold function of the paint meter conveniently captures measurement results, allowing for the simultaneous recording of average values, maximum values, minimum values, standard deviations, and statistics. It supports up to 80 data points for statistical analysis and can store up to 320 readings. The large memory capacity enables users to record and review extensive data over time
- Battery Life: The paint thickness gauge for cars includes two AAA batteries. The battery life is long, reducing the hassle of frequent battery replacements. The automatic shutdown time can be adjusted as needed to help save battery life
- Durable and Non-Slip Design: The car paint tester utilizes double-layer injection molding technology, making the device drop-resistant and shockproof. It is lightweight and comfortable to hold, combining rubber protection with a non-slip grip to effectively prevent mechanical damage from drops, ensuring a safe and reliable user experience
- Rapid Detection: This paint thickness meter supports single or continuous measurement modes and allows users to set high and low limits for readings. The screen will alert if the coating thickness exceeds or falls below these limits, thereby speeding up the coating assessment process. It is designed to enhance flexibility and meet various measurement needs
- The coating thickness gauge is a versatile instrument widely used across industries, including the used car market, manufacturing, metal processing, construction fire protection, marine applications, and home use. It ensures coating quality, controls standards, reduces waste, and improves efficiency. This gauge detects thickness on vehicles, machinery, transparent varnish layers, anodized coatings on aluminum, metal coatings on steel, plastic, epoxy resin, powder coatings, and high-temperature ceramics. It also measures fireproof coatings on steel structures and anti-corrosive coatings on ships, promoting durability and longevity in demanding environments

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the ruby probe and the standard probe of a coating thickness gauge?**
A: The main difference is in materials and durability.Ruby probes are made of synthetic ruby, providing greater hardness,wear resistance,and longer lifespan,along with higher measurement precision.Standard probes use softer materials for general use.

**Q: Does the coating thickness gauge automatically recognize the substrate?**
A: Yes, the device is designed to automatically identify the substrate type, enabling seamless operation without the need for manual mode switching.

**Q: What is the working principle of the coating thickness gauge?**
A: The gauge measures thickness using two principles:electromagnetic induction for ferrous metals(iron, steel)generates eddy currents, while for non-ferrous metals(aluminum, copper),it detects changes in current intensity through the eddy current effect

**Q: What is the working principle of electromagnetic induction (F probe)?**
A: When the probe approaches the metal surface, an alternating electromagnetic field generates eddy currents in the metal. The strength of these currents is inversely related to the coating thickness; thicker coatings result in weaker eddy currents.

**Q: What is the working principle of the eddy current effect (N probe)?**
A: When the probe approaches non-ferrous metals,an alternating electromagnetic field similarly generates eddy currents in the metal.The strength of these currents is related to the coating thickness;thicker coatings result in lower eddy current strength
