testing equipment for quality management Versatile Coating Thickness Gauge: • measures almost any electroplated coating/base combination • suitable for single and multi-layer coatings • utilizes the coulometric principle, a de-plating method conforming to DIN 50 955 and ISO 2177 Also suitable for extremely thin coatings from 0.05 microns!

Coating thickness gauge GalvanoTest Application The coulometric or anodic de-plating technique is used for measuring the thickness of electroplated coatings on virtually all substrates such as steel, non-ferrous metals or insulating material bases. Typical applications include: nickel on steel, zinc on steel, tin on copper, silver on copper or copper on epoxy. metric method ensures reliable and exact results. Designed for complete ease of use, GalvanoTest requires no specific operator skills and only minimal training before actual measurements can take place. The coulometric principle is the...

The GalvanoTest gauge consists of three major components: 1. Measuring cell For measuring on even or curved surfaces up to 3 mm curvature radius, two different measuring cells are available. A measuring cell with circulating pump is connected to GalvanoTest 3000, a cell with air pulsator is connected to the 2000 model. The electrolyte is constantly moved around the measuring cell to ensure an even de-plating of the measuring area as well as on optimum use of the electrolyte. For measuring wires or small parts, an electrolyte cup is available to dip the samples into the The stand serves to hold...

Two GalvanoTest models are available: The GalvanoTest 2000 is the basic model and measures a variety of coating/base combinations without any accessories being required. Designed for easy use, this model is mostly recommended for measuring multi-layer applications. With the GalvanoTest 3000 additional measuring conveniences are provided. Its measuring stand with integrated electrolyte pump and easy to change measuring cell for automatic electrolyte removal and refilling enable electrolyte savings as one filling may be used for a large series of de-plating processes. Additional measuring cells...

The print-out of the characteristic measuring cell voltage curve graphically represents the measuring process with its typical voltage jump at the end of measurement. The voltage jump terminates measurement and thickness is automatically displayed in microns or mils. The size of de-plating area can be precisely delimited using the supplied gaskets or masks. The illustrations below represent the actual deplating area size along with a microscopic view of the measuring area delimited when using the D-mask (0,25 mm2). Microscopic view of measuring area created by the D-mask thickness gauges ■ Ultrasonic...
