PCE INSTRUMENTS coating thickness gauge details
PCE Instruments Coating Thickness Gauge (PCE-CT 80-FN3)
PCE Instruments Coating Thickness Gauge (PCE-CT 80-FN3) is designed for non-destructive measurement of coatings such as varnishes, paints, and plastics on steel, iron, and non-ferrous metals. Its external sensor allows for precise measurements in hard-to-reach areas.
This device features a USB interface for efficient data transfer and an integrated memory capable of storing up to 2000 readings. Ideal for quality control in production, workshops, and industrial inspections, it supports multipoint and zero-point calibration to ensure measurement accuracy.
