  • PCE Instruments CT 5000H Thickness Gauge

    # CT 5000H

    • PCE-CT 5000H is a thickness measuring instrument used for the rapid determination of coating thicknesses on ferrous (Type F) and non-ferrous (Type N) metals. The coating thickness gauge automatically detects the type of metal to be measured.
    • The PCE-CT 5000H coating thickness gauge 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.

    • This thickness gauge is ideal for painted and powder-coated surface testing, automotive paint inspection, coated material testing, and manufacturing quality control applications.
    • Alarm limits can be set in the coating thickness gauge to notify the user when a coating is too thick or too thin. If a coating thickness measurement falls outside the established limits, a message appears on the display to alert the user.
    • Designed for non-destructive testing and inspection
    • Measures coating thickness on Fe and nFe metals
    • Displays measuring units in μm, mm or mils
    • Saves up to 2000 measurements to internal memory
    • Practical V-groove on the measuring head
    • One- to four-point and zero calibration
    • Comfortable one-handed operation
    • Programmable alarm limits
    • High measuring range
