Since Beichao released the selection system - "Check Instrument", the comparison of similar and competing instruments can be said to be at your fingertips. In this issue, we will use a set of data to take a look at the popular models in the low-cost Thickness Gauge market in the field of coating measurement, and see the differences between these three Thickness Gauges. Of course, what they have in common is that they are all popular consultation objects in the market.
In this issue, the following three instruments were selected for comparison. They are Lantai's CM8821/Yuwen's EC770 and Weifu's WH-81. All three are currently selling for less than 1,000 yuan.
