Order no.: PCE-CT 80-F5N3

Coating Thickness Gauge PCE-CT 80-F5N3

  • Measuring range: Fe: 0 … 5000 µm, NFe: 0 … 3000 µm
  • Accuracy after foil calibration: ±(2% of reading + 1 µm)
  • For many materials such as: iron, steel, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel
  • Diameter: 17mm / 0.67″

The coating thickness gauge PCE-CT 80-F5N3 measures the thickness of coatings like paint, varnish, and plastic on metals without damaging them. Its external sensor helps reach hard-to-access areas. The easy-to-use menu lets you quickly set new parameters, making it essential for quality control in factories and workshops.

This gauge is perfect for quickly checking vehicle damage after an accident. It’s also useful in industries for inspecting materials during production and delivery.

With its ergonomic design and external sensor, the gauge gives fast and accurate results. It measures coatings like paint, plastic, chrome, copper, zinc, and enamel on steel and iron, as well as non-conductive layers like paint, plastic, paper, glass, and rubber on metals like aluminum and brass.
