Paint Gauge/Paint Tester
CE Instruments’ accurate, affordable paint gauge, thickness meter, surface testing and film gauge devices are used for material testing, manufacturing quality control and automotive paint inspection applications. Choose from a variety of paint gauge, mil gage or paint meter products used for the non-destructive measurement of nonmagnetic coating, insulating layer and dry film thickness (DFT) on ferrous and / or non-ferrous metal substrates such as steel and aluminum.
A paint gauge is an essential quality assurance tool when anodizing, galvanizing and applying zinc coating to metallic surfaces. A coating thickness gauge also is used to measure body paint thickness and uniformity on pre-owned cars, revealing repainted spots, identifying hidden damages and exposing undisclosed accidents. This information is important when determining the actual value of a used car. In addition, certain types of thickness gauges can measure wall thickness and determine the hardness of metals, plastics and glass.
