1  Introduction 

 
Thank you for purchasing a coating thickness meter from PCE Instruments. 
The PCE-CT 28 coating thickness meter / gauge for cars is used to measure the thickness of paint and 
plastic coatings on ferrous or non-ferrous materials without damaging the coating surface. The coating 
thickness meter / gauge stands out by its high measurement range. The coating thickness meter/gauge 
can be used to detect damage on vehicles. This device is also essential for quality checks prior to 
shipping and of incoming goods, as well as during the production process. It is ergonomic with an 
integrated sensor and shows measurement results quickly and accurately. It is designed for non-magnetic 
coatings such as plastics, chrome, zinc, copper, etc. as well as insulations such as rubber, plastics, glass 
and paper on steel, iron, aluminium, brass and stainless steel. Thanks to its wide measurement range, 
the coating thickness meter is ideal for the naval and metal industries.
