CM-8825 Series Coating Thickness Gauge | F/NF Coating Gauge


Product Description

INTEGRAL F/NF COATING THICKNESS GAUGE

CM-8825 Series Coating Thickness Gauge

CM-8825 Series Coating Thickness Gauge | F/NF Coating Gauge  

The CM-8825 series is an integral, built-in probe coating thickness gauge for nondestructive measurement of coatings on ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates. Choose the FN model for both measurement methods, the F model for magnetic induction, or the N model for eddy current. Designed for convenient one-hand operation, the CM-8825 works as an automotive coating thickness gauge and paint thickness meter for shop-floor, field, and inspection use.

Key Features

  • Single and continuous measurement modes; continuous mode is useful for curved or small objects.

  • Automatic substrate recognition and automatic storage of calibration values.

  • Metric and imperial units, low-battery alert, and manual or automatic power-off.

  • Audible operation prompt; the buzzer is off during continuous measurement.

  • Integral probe design for one-hand operation, with a large contact area for stable, repeatable readings.

Built for Real Use

Every part the operator touches is designed for routine coating inspection — the reading and the controls on one integral body.

Measurement Principles and Applications

F probe — Magnetic induction — Measures non-magnetic coatings on magnetic substrates such as iron and steel. Typical applications include paint, galvanizing, lacquer, porcelain enamel, and phosphate coatings.

NF probe — Eddy current — Measures non-conductive coatings on non-magnetic metals such as aluminum, brass, and non-magnetic stainless steel. Suitable coatings include anodizing, varnish, paint, enamel, plastic, and powder coatings. Together, the probes make the CM-8825 an F/NF coating gauge for mixed-metal inspection.
