Product description

The Kern & Sohn Coating Thickness Gauge - FE/NFE External Max 100 µm |, 1000 µm d=, 0.1 µm |, 1 µm is a precision instrument designed for accurate measurement of coating thickness on both ferrous (FE) and non-ferrous (NFE) substrates. Offering two measurement ranges—100 µm for thinner coatings and 1000 µm for thicker layers—this gauge provides high-resolution readings of 0.1 µm and 1 µm respectively. Equipped with the Offset-Accur two-point calibration function, it ensures exceptional accuracy of approximately 1% of the measured value, making it ideal for quality control and compliance in manufacturing, automotive, metal coating, and related industries.

Key Features:

  • Brand: Kern & Sohn
  • Measurement Range: Max 100 µm (standard) and 1000 µm (extended)
  • Resolution: 0.1 µm (100 µm range), 1 µm (1000 µm range)
  • Measurement Type: Suitable for ferrous (FE) and non-ferrous (NFE) coatings
  • Accuracy: Enhanced accuracy via Offset-Accur two-point calibration (~1% of measured value)
  • Measuring Units: Selectable between µm and inch (mil)
  • Power: Battery operated with Auto-Power-Off function
  • Display: Clear digital readout for easy, accurate measurement reading
  • Design: Compact, portable, and robust for versatile use in the field or lab

Scope of Supply: Coating thickness gauge, external sensor, base plate, calibration foils, carrying case.

This Kern & Sohn coating thickness gauge is an essential tool for professionals demanding reliable, high-precision coating measurements to maintain product quality and durability across various industrial environments.
