PCE Instruments CT 90 Automotive Coating Thickness Tester

Model # CT 90

The coating thickness gauge is a versatile measuring instrument and it is made possible by the various optional sensors on the layer thickness gauge.
For example, the coating thickness gauge can easily measure the layer thicknesses of paints, galvanic coatings, galvanizing or even anodic oxide layers on metal. With the sensors, for example, layer thickness measurements with a thickness of up to 60 mm are possible.
In addition to the layer thickness sensors for the layer thickness gauge, there is also the climate sensor. With this climate sensor at the coating thickness gauge, the ambient temperature, the ambient humidity and the dew point can be measured.

In addition to the layer thickness sensors for the layer thickness gauge, there is also the climate sensor. With this climate sensor at the coating thickness gauge, the ambient temperature, the ambient humidity and the dew point can be measured. Also, in the film thickness gauge, there is the surface temperature sensor. Thanks to the surface temperature sensor, the surface temperature of an object in a measuring range of -50 … 125°C / -58 … 257°F can be determined with the Coating Thickness Gauge.
In addition, the roughness of surfaces can be determined with the layer thickness gauge. This is made possible by the optional roughness meter. With the roughness sensor from the layer thickness gauge, the Rz value of the surface can be determined within a very short time. The measuring range here is between 0 … 300 μm.
