thickness meters for borders, paint, walls and materials
At PCE-Group you will find thickness meters for determining the thickness of paint and surface coatings. The principles behind measuring paint and coating thickness is the magnetic induction or the interference to current. These thickness meters can be used for all types of metal surfaces (steel, iron, non-ferrous metals). For these reasons, the thickness meter can be used where ever there is a galvanizing process. These devices are particularly practical for quality control in anodizing, galvanizing and zinc coating. They are perfect for measuring body paint thickness on automobiles.
     
You can also find different types of thickness meters for measuring wall thickness and determine the hardness of walls, metals, plastics and glass. Also, special manual devices can be found, with a test sensor that can operate up to a temperature of 300°C. These devices  are suited for measuring wall thickness and determining the durability of walls with vapors to pressure conduction. So that the sound waves are transmitted correctly, and to guarantee a high level of accuracy, a small amount of coupling gel can be used when placing the sensor head on the surface being measured, then the sound velocity can be adjusted and the device will accurately show the thickness of the surface.

Thickness meters for metal, plastic, paper, wood and precious stones, are also available from your online shop. You sill find both digital and analogue models available coving a measurement range of 1.2 to 225mm of material thickness. Some models allow for user selectable sound velocity between 1000 and 9999m/s for a more diverse range of different materials. Each device comes with an internal memory for 10 readings. Results can be obtained quickly on the job thanks to the easy of use of the thickness meters. They are a great help to personnel working in technical service or repair. One special application for thickness meters is in the appraisal of precious stones, jeweler, and other objects of value.
