What is a digital thickness gauge?

These high-resolution digital thickness gauges are used to measure the thickness of materials like sheet metal or paper. They have high-resolution decimal inch and metric readings and are commonly used in machining, engineering, and metal fabrication applications.

How do you use a digital thickness gauge?

Put flat the measured workpiece on the lower measuring head, and release the lever, therefore the upper measuring head contacts well with the measured workpiece, then read the measuring result on the indicator. If readout in metric/inch different measurement system is required, press the mm/inch key.

What is a thickness gauge called?

A coating thickness gauge (also referred to as a paint meter) is used to measure dry film thickness. Dry film thickness is probably the most critical measurement in the coatings industry because of its impact on the coating process, quality and cost.

How do gauges determine thickness?

A rugged ultrasonic thickness gauge determines sample thickness by measuring the amount of time it takes for sound to traverse from the transducer through the material to the back end of a part and back. The ultrasonic thickness gauge then calculates the data based on the speed of the sound through the tested sample.

What thickness is that Gage?

Material thickness gauges Analog (mechanical) thickness gauges. The analog thickness gauges have a jaw that features steel measuring contact pins and a handle and lever. Digital (electronic) thickness gauges. Pocket-sized thickness gauges. Sizes and specifications.

How does thickness gauges work?

How does it work. The paint thickness gauge has a sensor that sticks out of the bottom of the device, or is connected via a wire with the device. This sensor is than put on the surface of the panel you want to measure. You place it perpendicular to the surface. The device will then measure the distance between the body panel underneath the paint, en the sensor.

What is an ultrasonic thickness gauge?

An ultrasonic thickness gauge is a measuring instrument for the non-destructive investigation of a material’s thickness using ultrasonic waves. The usage of an ultrasonic thickness gauge for non-destructive testing to check material properties such as thickness measurement, is now regularly utilized in all areas of industrial measurements.
