The K5-C multifunctional coating thickness gauge is a high-precision device designed for accurate measuring geometric and environmental parameters: coating thickness, surface roughness, air humidity, air and metal surface temperature, dew point temperature.
Description
The K5-C coating thickness gauge is a high-precision device designed for accurate coating thickness measurement on steel and non-ferrous metals. This coating thickness meter is widely used in industrial inspection. It allows operators to accurately measure coating thickness on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates, making it suitable for inspection of pipelines, tanks, metal structures, and manufactured components.
Measuring the thickness of:
— dielectric (paint, lacquer, enamel, plastic, teflon, anodic oxide, mastic and other) coatings on products from ferrous and non-ferrous metals;
— galvanic (nickel, zinc, chrome, cadmium, tin, silver, copper and other) coatings on products from ferrous and non-ferrous metals;
— multilayer coatings (layer by layer);
— plated coatings;
— special conductive coatings on products from metals and plastics;
— lacquer, paint and galvanic coatings on inner surfaces of pipes and cylindrical products;
— protective layer of concrete and determination of steel reinforcement position in concrete;
— wall thickness of large products from fiberglass and carbon fiber reinforced plastics during manufacture and delivery with one side and two sides access.
Surface roughness measurement after sand blasting and grit blasting.
Measurement of humidity, air temperature, surface temperature, and dew point during coating application.
Features
— application of combination of pulsed inductive, eddy current parametric and phase digital methods of receiving primary information;
— large number of new generation wear resistant transducers of wide purpose of application with algorithms that avoid influence of wear on measurement accuracy;
— various measuring modes, wide range of functions for work with statistics;
— larger keypad and colour TFT display with 2.4” diagonal ensure user-friendly interface;
— shock-resistant ergonomic housing with rubberized corners and wear resistant glass;
— absence of temperature and time drift of measurement results;
— built-in Li-Ion rechargeable battery.
