CM-8855 Coating Thickness Gauge | F/N Coating Meter


Product Description

INTEGRATED F/N COATING THICKNESS GAUGE

CM-8855 Coating Thickness Gauge

CM-8855 Coating Thickness Gauge with Integrated Probe  

The CM-8855 coating thickness gauge measures non-magnetic coatings on magnetic metal substrates and non-conductive coatings on non-magnetic metals. This coating thickness meter uses magnetic induction and eddy current measurement principles, with automatic substrate recognition to streamline inspections.

Select single or continuous measurement, review readings on the instrument, and store up to 99 data groups for later reference.

Measurement Principles and Applications

F mode — Magnetic induction. Measures non-magnetic coatings on magnetic (ferrous) substrates. Typical examples include paint, lacquer, galvanizing, and porcelain enamel on iron or steel.

N mode — Eddy current. Measures non-conductive coatings on non-magnetic metal substrates. Typical examples include paint, varnish, anodizing, enamel, plastic, and powder coatings on aluminum, brass, or non-magnetic stainless steel.

Use the CM-8855 paint thickness gauge for coating inspections in manufacturing, metalworking, maintenance, and quality control.

Designed for Efficient Field Checks

The integrated CM-8855 is designed for one-hand operation. Its large contact surface supports stable placement, while continuous mode is useful for checking curved or small objects. The instrument gives an audible prompt during operation; the buzzer is disabled in continuous mode.
