Why is it important to be able to accurately measure metal thickness under a coating of paint?
In quality control of painted metal components, one of the most common challenges is checking the material thickness without damaging the surface coating. Measurement errors can lead to non-conformities, customer complaints, or production waste—resulting in significant costs and potential damage to a company’s reputation.
What’s the solution?
To meet these needs, the SAMA Tools through coating ultrasonic thickness gauge, is designed to measure through paint and coatings.
This device makes it easy to take accurate, non-destructive measurements—even on painted or treated surfaces—quickly and reliably.
How does it work?
The operating principle is based on dual-frequency ultrasound, which can pass through the paint and penetrate the underlying metal surface.
Advantages:
- Compliant with main industry reference standards
- No need to remove the surface paint
- High precision, even on thin materials
- Can be used in production or in a lab
Who can use this instrument?
This tool is trusted by professionals in a wide range of industries, including:
