Mitech MCT200Coating Thickness Gauge with large capacity battery
for better experience
Overview
This compatible, handy pocket gauge is designed for
non-destructive, fast and precise coating thickness measurement. It
is ideal for manufactures and their customers, for offices and
specialist advisers, for paint shops and electroplates, for the
chemical, automobile, shipbuilding and aircraft industries and for
light and heavy engineering.

Features
Five types of probes(F400, F1, F1/90°, F10, N1) are available for
different application, F10 probe measures up to 10mm.
With different external probes, the gauge can be applied to
measuring thickness of non-magnetic coating on magnetic metal
substrate, as well as non-conductive coating on non-magnetic metal
substrate.
Two calibration methods can be applied to the gauge. The system
error of the probe can be corrected with the basic probe
calibration method.
Two measuring modes: single or continuous, changeable.
Measuring status indicator shows the measuring status.
Measured values and user information are shown on a large,
easy-to-read LCD. The display back light ensures easy reading of
screen data in low light conditions.
Battery information indicates the rest capacity of the battery.
Auto sleep and auto power off function to conserve battery life.
USB1.1 communication port, optional software to process the memory
data on the PC.
The gauge equips with data-pro software, can do measurement results
transmission, automatic storage management, measurement data
analysis, measurement reports print etc.
Compact aluminum case, suitable for use under poor working
conditions such as vibration, shock and
electromagnetic interference.
Measuring Principles
The gauge adopts two thickness-measuring methods: magnetic
induction method and eddy current method.
Magnetic Induction Method:
The probe and the magnetic metal substrate will form a closed
magnetic circuit when probe contacting with the coating, the
magnetic resistance of closed magnetic circuit varies due to the
existing of non-magnetic coating. The thickness of the coating can
be measured through the variation of magnetic resistance.
Eddy Current Method:
The high frequency alternating current generates an electromagnetic
field in the probe coil, eddy current will be formed on metal
substrate when the probe contacting with the coating, and the eddy
current has an effect of feedback on the coil in probe. The
thickness of the coating can be calculated through measuring the
effect of feedback.
The range of applications is indicated by the probes available.
-F probes work on the magnetic induction principle and should be
used for non-magnetic coatings such as aluminum, chrome, copper,
zinc, paint and varnish, enamel, rubber etc., on an iron or steel
substrate; they are also suitable for alloyed and hardened magnetic
steel.
-N probes work on the eddy-current principle and should be used for
insulating coatings on all non-ferrous metals and on Austenitic
stainless steels, e.g, paint, anodizing coatings, ceramics, etc,
applied on aluminum, copper, zinc die-casting, brass, etc.
