Description
PCE Instruments Coating Thickness Gauge (PCE-CT 80HP-FN2) is a precision measuring tool for coatings such as paint, plastic, and varnish on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The integrated V-groove sensor ensures accurate readings on both convex and concave surfaces, making it ideal for quality control and industrial applications.
This device features adjustable alarm limits, a rugged rubberized housing for durability, and a built-in memory capable of storing up to 2,000 readings. Data can be seamlessly transferred via USB to a computer for further analysis using the included software.
