GVDA Coating Thickness Gauge
Car Paint Film Thickness Tester | 0–1300μm | Fe/NFe | Automotive, Metal, Ceramic Surfaces
The GVDA GD198 Coating Thickness Gauge is a precision instrument designed for non-destructive measurement of paint, plating, and coating thickness on both ferrous (Fe) and non-ferrous (NFe) metal surfaces.
Whether you’re inspecting automotive paint, industrial coatings, or metal treatments, this versatile tool provides accurate readings using advanced magnetic induction and eddy current technologies.
Operating Principle
F Probe (Magnetic Induction):
Measures non-magnetic coatings (e.g. chrome, copper, zinc, varnish, rubber) on magnetic substrates like iron/steel.
N Probe (Eddy Current):
Measures insulating coatings (e.g. paint, anodizing, ceramics) on non-magnetic substrates like aluminum, copper, brass.
Applications
Perfect for:
Automotive industry (paint depth checks, accident detection)
Metal fabrication & processing
Chemical & surface treatment industries
Quality control & inspection
Laboratory and field use
Ideal for coating verification, paintwork inspection, and material testing in manufacturing, workshops, and outdoor environments.
Key Features
High-precision integrated dual probe (F/N)
Continuous (CON) and Single (SNG) measurement modes
Micron-level precision
Self-calibration function for improved accuracy
Stores up to 20 data groups
Auto power-off after 15 minutes of inactivity
