Paint thickness gage is a device which is used for measuring the thickness of the paint on the metal. Paint thickness gage is commonly equipped with the combination of magnetic-induction and also eddy current sensor which enable this device to easily recognize the metal base so that it can provide you accurate measurement. For easy reading, it also offers you large display.
Paint Detective PD8 Paint Thickness Gauge
The Paint Detective PD8 Paint Thickness Gage must be firstly turned on before it is placed on the surface which is going to be measured. It can quickly measure the thickness simply by touching a button. This device comes with the combination of magnetic-induction and also eddy current sensor which allows you to measure the thickness of the paint on all metals including aluminum and steel. This great combination allows you to use this device on performance vehicles with metal panels which is lightweight.
This paint thickness gage is also equipped with the sensor which enables this device to recognize the metal base so that it can read the thickness of the paint on it within +/- 3 microns accurately. It is equal to +/- 3 % on the typical paint finish of the factory. Some other features which are equipped to this device are a large display which allows you to read it easily. If you do not use this device for 30 seconds, it can automatically switch off. In addition, this gage is designed to be weatherproof.
Furthermore, this paint thickness gage also provides you a set of calibration check shims which is provided in the case. Yet, recalibration is not mostly needed on a regular basis. It is also equipped with a soft storage case, complete instruction, calibration shims and one year warranty. The dimension of this 126 x 65 x 27 mm. the weight is 70 g. it is bale to provide you accuracy of +/- 3 %.
DeFelsko PosiTest DFT Paint Thickness Gauge
Another option of paint thickness gage you can take into your consideration is DeFelsko PosiTest DFT. If you want to use it for measuring the thickness, you do not need to turn this device on since it is able to automatically turn on as it is placed on the surface you are going to measure. It is able to measure the thickness instantly either in micron or mil. You can select it by touching the button. You can directly make repeated measurements.
This paint thickness gage comes with the combination of magnetic-induction and also eddy current sensor which enables you to measure the thickness of the paint on all types of metals such as aluminum and steel. Therefore, it can also be used on the performance vehicles with lightweight metal panels. The sensor which is equipped to this paint thickness gage is able to directly recognize the metal base and it is able to provide you accurate reading up to +/- 2 microns or +/- 2 % on typical paint finishes of the factory.
Some other features which are equipped to this paint thickness gage are a large display which allows you to easily read the measurement, automatically switch off when it is not used for 30 seconds, and weatherproof design. In addition, this paint thickness gage also comes with a formal calibration certificate which can be easily checked with the thickness shims on the case. It can also be completely reset when necessary. It is also supplied with plastic calibration shims, storage shell of hard shell, complete instruction, AAA battery, and also two year warranty.
