Frequently Asked Questions for Thickness Gauges in 2022

1. Question: Which type of coating Thickness Gauge can be used for non-magnetic substrate, zinc, copper and oxide electrode coating?

     Answer: Recommended Electrolytic Thickness Gauge

2. Question: Is there any recommendation for the Thickness Gauge of the bearing?

     Answer: Dear, the magnetic induction Thickness Gauge is equipped with a 90° probe, you can refer to it.

3. Question: To measure the film thickness of multi-layer colored furniture paint, there are two layers of primer + varnish, recommend it

     Answer: Hello, if the sample substrate is hard, and the substrate and coating are two different colors. According to your needs, I recommend you a destructive Thickness Gauge.

4. Question: We are doing dry construction. I want to buy a film thickness Tester for the basement floor paint (epoxy resin floor paint) on the concrete sand layer. Can I use the ultrasonic film thickness meter?

     Answer: Yes, ultrasonic Thickness Gauges can measure the thickness of coatings on non-metallic substrates. But the coating should not be too soft when testing, because the probe will be pressed down when testing, and if it is soft, it will become thinner.

5. Question: Which brand of coating Thickness Gauge is better?

     Answer: Hello, the brands of Thickness Gauges on NBCHAO Mall are strictly selected for customers to choose. Most of them are familiar and widely used Thickness Gauges.

6. Question: Is there a paint Film Thickness Gauge to measure the electrophoretic paint coating on the metal substrate?

     Answer: It is recommended that you use an electrolytic Thickness Gauge.

7. Question: Why can’t I find the power button for the SIMA Thickness Gauge?

     Answer: Hello, the one you choose is an automatic power-on. You don’t need to press the button to start it. You can directly put the Thickness Gauge on the sample to be tested and start the test.

8. Question: How to choose a Thickness Gauge for measuring metal substrates?

     Answer: To choose a Thickness Gauge for measuring metal substrates, you can choose from the aspects of brand, measurement accuracy, measurement range, budget, etc. You can refer to the Thickness Gauge selection model of NBCHAO Mall: nbchao.com/list26/.

9. Question: Can the hand-held Thickness Gauge test the thickness of nickel plating and gold plating? Is there a small portable one like the copper plating layer?

     Answer: Hello, you can’t test the gold-plated one. You need to use an electrolytic Thickness Gauge, which is a desktop. You can refer to it.

10. Question: Can the Thickness Gauge test the thickness of printing ink? Substrate paper, flexo printing ink generally has a thickness of a few microns

       Answer: Hello, there is no recommended model. The ultrasonic Thickness Gauge has a minimum thickness measurement range. It is recommended that you can use the same process to form a film on the metal substrate and then measure the thickness. This kind of Thickness Gauge can be selected according to the metal material.
