USB Communication Coating Thickness Tester 4 Digital LCD With EL Backlight MCT200

Mitech MCT200 Coating Thickness Gauge USB communication port, optional software

Overview

This compatible, handy pocket gauge is designed for non-destructive, fast and precise coating thickness measurement. It is ideal for manufactures and their customers, for offices and specialist advisers, for paint shops and electroplates, for the chemical, automobile, shipbuilding and aircraft industries and for light and heavy engineering.

Technical Parameters

Features

1. Five types of probes(F400, F1, F1/90°, F10, N1) are available for different application, F10 probe measures up to 10mm.
2. With different external probes, the gauge can be applied to measuring thickness of non-magnetic coating on magnetic metal substrate, as well as non-conductive coating on non-magnetic metal substrate.
3. Two calibration methods can be applied to the gauge. The system error of the probe can be corrected with the basic probe calibration method.
4. Two measuring modes: single or continuous, changeable.
5. Measuring status indicator shows the measuring status.
6. Measured values and user information are shown on a large, easy-to-read LCD. The display back light ensures easy reading of screen data in low light conditions.
7. Battery information indicates the rest capacity of the battery.
8. Auto sleep and auto power off function to conserve battery life.
9. USB1.1 communication port, optional software to process the memory data on the PC.
10. The gauge equips with data-pro software, can do measurement results transmission, automatic storage management, measurement data analysis, measurement reports print etc.
11. Compact aluminum case, suitable for use under poor working conditions such as vibration, shock and electromagnetic interference.

Measuring Principles

The gauge adopts two thickness-measuring methods: magnetic induction method and eddy current method.

Magnetic Induction Method:

The probe and the magnetic metal substrate will form a closed magnetic circuit when probe contacting with the coating, the magnetic resistance of closed magnetic circuit varies due to the existing of non-magnetic coating. The thickness of the coating can be measured through the variation of magnetic resistance.

Eddy Current Method:

The high frequency alternating current generates an electromagnetic field in the probe coil, eddy current will be formed on metal substrate when the probe contacting with the coating, and the eddy current has an effect of feedback on the coil in probe. The thickness of the coating can be calculated through measuring the effect of feedback.

The range of applications is indicated by the probes available.

-F probes work on the magnetic induction principle and should be used for non-magnetic coatings such as aluminum, chrome, copper, zinc, paint and varnish, enamel, rubber etc., on an iron or steel substrate; they are also suitable for alloyed and hardened magnetic steel.

-N probes work on the eddy-current principle and should be used for insulating coatings on all non-ferrous metals and on Austenitic stainless steels, e.g, paint, anodizing coatings, ceramics, etc, applied on aluminum, copper, zinc die-casting, brass, etc.
