MiniTest 2500 and 4500 Series Gauges

MiniTest 2500 and 4500 Series Gauges

High Precision Coating Thickness Gauges with Large Probe Selection

Overview

The MiniTest 2500 and 4500 are high precision coating thickness gauges compatible with a large range of probes for measuring coatings on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Different calibration methods and evaluation options for a wide range of tasks in the field of coating measurements. The scope of application is determined by the probe (sold separately) connected to the gauge.

  • F-type (ferrous) sensors work according to the magnetic induction principle and can measure non-magnetic coatings such as paint, enamel, rubber, aluminum, chrome, copper, zinc etc applied on iron and steel (including steel alloys and hardened magnetic steels).
  • N-type (non-ferrous) sensors work according to the eddy current principle and measure insulating coatings such as paint, anodizing, ceramics etc. applied on all non-ferrous metals (for example aluminum, copper, zinc die cast, brass etc.) including austenitic steels.
  • FN-type (combination ferrous / non-ferrous) sensors combine both principles and identify the substrate underneath the coating thus automatically switching to the correct measuring principle to measure on base material steel or non-ferrous metal.

Applications

Non-destructive coating thickness gauge for:

  • Non-magnetic coatings on steel
  • Insulating coatings on non-ferrous metals
  • Copper layers on insulating substrates
  • Powder coatings on steel and non-ferrous metals
