Coating thickness gauge StratoTest 4500 C

sheet metalhandheldnon-contact

Product overview
The handheld StratoTest 4500 C measures refractory lining thickness in rotary kilns used in cement and brick production. Instead of the traditional method requiring many inspection drillings, the instrument uses one calibration borehole and then performs non-invasive electromagnetic (eddy-current) measurements. The method is non-destructive and safe for the operator, enabling fast, reliable determination of lining condition and thickness for cement, dolomite, magnesite and fireclay bricks up to 300 mm.

Application

• Non-destructive thickness measurement of electrically non-conducting refractory linings in industrial rotary kilns
• Typical materials: cement, dolomite, magnesite, fireclay bricks in rotary kilns

Features

• Non-destructive eddy-current measurement
• Measuring range up to 300 mm (hand probe)
• Immediate digital display of brick thickness
• Special measurement processing to reduce influence of metal inclusions or microstructural variations
• Easy data transfer via USB and Bluetooth
