Details
The Defelsko Coating Thickness Gauge (model FM) is a permanently calibrated analogue instrument designed for fast, accurate coating thickness measurement on cylindrical and flat surfaces. Built for industrial and quality-control environments, this coating thickness gauge combines precision engineering with a rugged, no-battery design that holds up to demanding job sites.
Key Features:
- Measuring Range: 0 to 80 mils (0"-0.08")
- Operation: Functions on a permanent rare-earth cobalt magnet, no battery required
- Calibration: Permanently calibrated with positive visual and audible indicators when a thickness reading is established
- Probe Design: "V" grooves in the probe housing and gauge base allow correct positioning on cylindrical objects
- Measuring Probe: Highly wear-resistant carbide tip for long-term accuracy
- One-Finger Operation: Probe contact and dial rotation controlled with a single hand movement
- GO/NO-GO Button: Can be preset for rapid pass/fail measurement
- Build: Compact, lightweight, and gravity-independent, so it works in any position
- Stability: Stable overall design with positive positioning and no pivoting during measurement; can be fully supported or measured with only the front probe area contacting the surface
- Durability: Rugged housing resists mechanical shock, water, acid, and solvents
Ideal For:
- Quality control technicians measuring coating thickness on cylindrical parts and pipes
- Industrial inspectors needing a rugged, battery-free gauge for harsh environments
- Coating and paint applicators requiring rapid GO/NO-GO thickness checks
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Does this coating thickness gauge require batteries?
No, it operates on a permanent rare-earth cobalt magnet, so there is no battery to replace or recharge.
Q: What is the measuring range of the Defelsko FM gauge?
It measures coating thickness from 0 to 80 mils (0" to 0.08").
Q: Can this gauge be used on curved or cylindrical surfaces?
Yes, the "V" grooves in the probe housing and gauge base are specifically designed to allow correct positioning on cylindrical objects.
