Coating thickness gauge MikroTest 5 + 6

Product catalog summary

Overview: The MikroTest^® is a coating thickness gauge designed for quick, precise, and non-destructive measurement of various coatings such as electroplating, nickel, phosphating, paint, plastic, and enamel on steel. It operates without a power supply or calibration and can measure at any angle.

Key Features:

Magnetic coating thickness measurement based on magnetic attraction.
11 models available for different applications.
Accurate readings at any angle, including horizontal, vertical, and overhead.
Suitable for curved surfaces, tubes, and round parts.
No power or battery required, and no calibration necessary.
Robust metal case for protection against mechanical shocks.

Technical Specifications:

Measurement range varies by model, from 0-100 μm to 7.5-20 mm.
Accuracy tolerance ranges from ±1 μm or 5% of reading to ±(2 μm + 8% of reading).
Minimum curvature radius and surface base thickness specified for each model.
Ambient temperature range: –20°C to 100°C.

Standards and Compliance: Conforms to national and international standards such as DIN EN ISO 2178, DIN 50 982, ASTM B 499, E 376, D 1186, G 12, B 530, BS 5411, ISO 2361.

Accessories and Supply:

Includes a belt pouch, wet film gauge, and coating thickness standards for accuracy checks.
Supplied with a hand strap, plastic carrying case, and operating instructions.
