Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a CP Instruments Coating Thickness Gauge.
This hand-held device for coating thickness measurement with a separate probe is a highly intelligent and
accurate measuring device with which layer thicknesses can be measured quickly and accurately on
almost all metal surfaces. The instrument not only displays the film thickness but also automatically
identifies the metal base (Fe stands for magnetic metals such as iron and steel, nFe denotes non-
magnetic metals such as aluminum, metal alloys and non-magnetic steel). With the device different
coatings can be measured:
non-magnetic coatings, ceramics, enamels, plastics, rubber coatings
;
magnetic base materials such as iron or steel, non-ferrous metals such as nickel and
chromium
;
c
orrosion protection coatings in the chemical and oil industries
;
n
on-conductive paints
;
p
lastic coatings and anodised coatings on non-magnetic conductive devices such as aircraft,
household appliances, vehicles, completely alloyed doors and windows, as well as other
aluminum products
;
e
lectrically conductive coating material
.
