Dry Film Coating Thickness
Mechanical Gauges


Mechanical Coating Thickness Gauges are an ideal choice when coating thickness needs to be measured where batteries cannot be used or are difficult to obtain. For example in remote locations, underwater, where dangerous gasses are present, you are looking for a basic coating thickness gauge to measure coatings on Ferrous Substrates (e.g. steel).

These gauges all use the original method of measurement – the amount of force needed to remove a magnet from a Ferrous Substrate and are basic coating thickness gauges to measure coatings on steel.
