MiniTest 650 Series

Fixed External Probe Coating Thickness Gauge in Rugged Design

Overview

The rugged coating thickness gauge, the ElektroPhysik MiniTest 650 follows its long-time proven predecessor model MiniTest 600 in the line of gauges with a fixed external probe offering measurement of all non-magnetic coatings on steel and all insulating coatings on non-ferrous metals. It is specially designed to work in rough environments and on abrasive surfaces, e.g. shot-blasted steel, and plasma spray-coated surfaces. It is available in three models. 

MiniTest 650 Models

The MiniTest 650 is available in 3 Models, each with its own sensor to ensure the best fit for your needs. 

  • MiniTest 650 F: Magnetic-induction sensor for measurements on steel substrates; Measuring range 0 to 3 mm
  • MiniTest 650 N: Eddy currents sensor for measurements on non-ferrous metals; Measuring range 0 to 2 mm
  • MiniTest 650 FN: Dual sensor for measuring both, steel and non-ferrous metals; Measuring range 0 to 2 mm

Features

  • Resolution of 0.01 mils (1 micron)
  • Impact-protected housing for use in tough environments
  • Probe with wear-resistant carbide metal tip
  • Automatic identification of the substrate material
  • High repeatability
  • For fast and precise measurements of non-magnetic coatings on steel and insulating coatings on non-ferrous metals
  • External sensor
  • USB-interface to transfer on-line measurements or statistics to a PC
  • Statistical evaluation of readings (mean value, standard deviation, number of readings, minimum and maximum)
  • Coating thickness measurement up to 2 or 3 mm
  • Enables 1-point and 2-point calibrations
  • Data transfer program Msoft7000 basic edition
  • DIN EN ISO 1461, 2178, 2360, 2808, 3882, ASTM B 244, B 499, D7091, E 376
  • Includes Factory Calibration Certificate

Applications

Non-destructive coating thickness measurement:

  • Non-magnetic coatings like varnishes, enamels, chrome and zinc on ferromagnetic base materials (e.g. steel)
  • Insulating coatings like varnishes and anodizing aluminum on non-ferrous metals (e.g. aluminum, copper, die-cast zinc)
