PCE Instruments CT 65 Coating Thickness Gauge

Model # CT 65

PCE-CT 65 is a thickness gauge that 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.
The easy-to-use downloadable PC-compatible software included with this thickness gauge allows for detailed analysis of measurement results via computer. Measurement values are shown in a table and different working modes can be selected for data filtering.

The easy-to-use downloadable PC-compatible software included with this thickness gauge allows for detailed analysis of measurement results via computer. Measurement values are shown in a table and different working modes can be selected for data filtering. Statistics include the maximum, minimum and average value per working group. Statistics can be divided by ferrous and non-ferrous material. The software also counts how many readings have been stored in each material group. For more details, please refer to the user manual.
Includes calibration shims and blocks for DIY accuracy testing, a carrying case for easy transport, and a 2-year warranty against manufacturer defects
Optional ISO calibration certificate available for purchase separately – see accessories tab for details
Features two measuring modes (ferrous and non-ferrous) with integrated sensors for comfortable, one-handed operation
Saves up to 1500 measurements to memory
Comes with a USB cable and downloadable PC software (see downloads tab) for detailed analysis of measurement results via computer
