Handheld Coating Measurement Units

A family of easy-to-use handheld instruments offers a wide range of options for measuring coating thicknesses.

Three MP0D models use eddy current, magnetic induction, and a combination of both methods to measure non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metals and anodic coating on aluminum, iron, and steel. The coating thickness readings and their statistical evaluations are displayed, and an integrated constant-pressure probe allows easy one-hand operation. Data is output to a printer or computer. Dualscope MP20 measures coatings on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates in applications that don't require copy documentation. Users can interchange a wide variety of smart probes, and the large, easy-to-read LCD displays full statistical evaluation of the measurement series, continuous measurement data display, and simple calibration adjustments with five selectable display languages.

Two MP30 models measure all non-conductive and non-metallic coatings on iron and steel using the magnetic induction method and non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous base metals using the eddy current method. Each unit is capable of storing 10,000 individual measurements in 1,000 blocks in up to 100 separate applications. Block size can be selected freely or fixed. MP40 smart probes automatically detect the base material and apply the appropriate measurement method. The pocket-sized units also offer a choice of standard or matrix measurement data storage mode and a storage capacity of up to 10,000 measurements grouped in up to 1,000 blocks with dynamic storage allocation capability.
