plasticmetalcoating

Overview
Universal coating thickness gauge using the wedge-cut method to measure organic coatings on metal, wood and plastics; suitable for single and multiple coatings.

Product information

• Measurement of unidentified coating materials
• Measurement on all load-bearing substrates (metal, wood, plastics, etc.)
• Exchangeable cutter made of carbide
• Tilt-free cutting guide for controlled cuts
• Integrated microscope with precision vernier for accurate reading

Application
Universal, precise measurement of organic coatings and multilayer systems across a variety of substrates.

Features

• Suitable for unknown coating materials
• Operates on any coatable, load-bearing substrate
