Product Description
Coating Thickness Knife Tester NOVOTEST TPN-1 (Paint Inspection Gauge) is designed to measure the thickness of both single and multiple layer coatings on any grounds, both metallic and non-metallic. The operation principle is based on the local cut (notch) of the coating at the tested place of object with following thickness measurement of this coating. The thickness of coating is determined bythe width of notch, it is possiblebecause of thespecial form of cutter of the instrument. The measurement is performed by any portable measuring microscope with a suitable measuring range and discreteness.
Advanced Magnetic Induction TechnologyUtilizing a magnetic induction sensor, the TPN-1 Coating Thickness Gauge ensures high-precision measurements for both ferrous substrates. The digital LCD delivers real-time data, making it simple for operators to quickly assess coating thickness in various industrial environments. Its rubberized exterior enhances handling and durability even under demanding conditions.
Designed for Industrial PerformanceTailored specifically for industrial requirements, the TPN-1 offers an accuracy of 0.05 mm with a broad measuring range, supporting efficient quality inspections. Operators benefit from its ergonomic handheld size and lightweight plastic/metal hybrid construction, while the rugged plastic case assures protection during transport or fieldwork.
