PCE-CT 65 Surface Testing – Coating Thickness Gauge Non-destructive coating and dry film thickness (DFT) measuring device for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates
PCE-CT 65 is a surface testing – coating thickness gauge that uses magnetic induction (ferrous) or eddy current (non-ferrous) to take non-destructive measurements of coating and dry film thickness (DFT) on metal substrates such as steel and aluminum. This thickness gauge is ideal for painted and powder-coated surface testing, automotive paint inspection, coated material testing, and manufacturing quality control applications.
The easy-to-use downloadable PC-compatible software included with this thickness gauge allows for detailed analysis of measurement results via computer. Measurement values are shown in a table and different working modes can be selected for data filtering. Statistics include the maximum, minimum and average value per working group. Statistics can be divided by ferrous and non-ferrous material. The software also counts how many readings have been stored in each material group. For more details, please refer to the user manual.
