ST probe
The probe is intended to measure the temperature of metal surfaces.
STMD probe
The probe is intended to measure the air temperature, air humidity, and dew point.
DSH probe
DSH probe is intended to measure the depth of cavities and evaluation of the surface roughness.
The metrological parameters of probes are shown in the tab. 1.2.

where h – nominal value of the coating thickness or the depth of a cavity, mm.
Note – The operating temperature range of the electronic unit of the coating thickness gauge differs
from the temperature range of the ST and STMD probe and it is -20…+40 °C. The measurement of the
air temperature, humidity, and dew point in conditions exceeding the permissible range of the electronic
unit is allowed only if a probe is used in these conditions.
