Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the new generation of pull-off gauges, specifically designed for measuring paint coatings on steel. These gauges are cost-effective, accurate, and operate on the principle of magnetic attraction, featuring a permanent magnet that retains its power. They include colored zones for quick quality assessment and are suitable for both open and recessed measuring areas.
Coating Thickness Measurement
The dry film pull-off gauge, featuring a patented HOLD mechanism, allows for easy reading by keeping the thickness indicator in place. It serves as a memory for the last reading and is primarily used for quick-check measurements on steel constructions and painted steel panels. The measuring principle adheres to DIN EN ISO 2178 standards, requiring no batteries or power supply.
Usage Instructions
The gauge is designed as a pen with a pocket clip, making it portable and ready for use anytime. To measure, place the gauge tip on the dry paint coating, apply firm contact, and pull the black slide until the magnet lifts off. The coating thickness can be read in microns on a 50 mm long scale.
Technical Data
  • Measuring range: 25 – 700 μm and 1 – 30 mils
  • Minimum measuring area: Ø 25 mm dia.
  • Accuracy: ± 10% of reading
  • Ambient temperature: –10 to +80°C
  • Dimensions: 151 mm length, Ø 10 mm dia.
MiniPen
The MiniPen is suitable for both industrial and consumer applications, including spot-check testing on steel constructions and identifying damaged cars in the used car business. It requires no batteries and is easy to use by setting the gauge tip on the dry coated surface and pulling until the magnet lifts off.
MiniPen Technical Data
  • Measuring range: 50 – 500 μm and 2 – 20 mils
  • Minimum measuring area: Ø 25 mm dia.
  • Accuracy: ± 15% of reading
  • Ambient temperature: –10 to +80°C
  • Dimensions: 148 mm length, Ø 10 mm dia.
Wet Film Gauge
The wet film gauge allows for quick and easy thickness measurement of freshly applied wet coatings. It provides readings at 16 different measuring points by pressing the gauge into the wet coating down to the base material.
