Coating Thickness Gauges

About Coating Thickness Gauges

There are meters and test tools for a multitude of tasks and, if it exists, we seek to stock them at Tester. If you want to be sure that all coats of paint have been applied to a newly sprayed car body you'll need a coating thickness tester. You may be looking after fruit shipments and need to check the hardness of fruit to determine its shelf life or storage potential; for that, you'll need a Fruit Hardness Tester.

Thickness gauges operate in a similar way to sonar. They use ultrasound to send a pulse through a layer of material, such as paint layers, to an "opposite" surface such as the bodywork of a car. By measuring the bounce-back time, allowing for the signal velocity through the material, the meter will provide a clear readout of thickness.
