Thickness Meter PCE-CT 80-FN2

Portable measuring instrument for non-destructive control of coating thickness (paints, lacquers, plastics, etc.) on ferric (Fe) and non-ferric (NFe) metal substrates. The equipment includes an external sensor with a 1 m cable for difficult access and offers automatic and specific modes (magnetic induction / eddy currents) for reliable base detection.

Main features:

• Measurement range: Fe: 0…2000 µm / NFe: 0…2000 µm
• Accuracy: ±(2 % of value + 1 µm)
• Resolution: 0.1 µm (<100 µm) / 1 µm (>100 µm)
• Minimum curvature radius: convex 5 mm / concave 25 mm
• Minimum measurement surface: Ø 17 mm
• Minimum base thickness: 0.2 mm (ferric) / 0.05 mm (non-ferric)
• Probe modes: automatic base detection (Fe / NFe), magnetic induction (Fe), and eddy currents (NFe)
• Measurement modes: individual (point) and continuous
• Calibration: multipoint (1–4 points per group) and zero-point calibration
• Selectable units: µm, mm, thousandths of an inch
• Data transfer: USB 2.0
• Memory: 1 volatile group (DIR mode) and 4 non-volatile groups with automatic recording up to 2000 values (GEN mode)
• Statistical functions: number of samples, mean, maximum, minimum, standard deviation
• Configurable alarms by threshold (indication when exceeding lower/upper levels)
• Auto-shutdown: after 3 minutes of inactivity
• Power supply: 3 AAA batteries (1.5 V)
• Display: 128 × 128 pixel LCD with battery and error indication
• Operating conditions: 0 … +50 °C, 20 … 90 % HR (no condensation)
• Storage conditions: -10 … +60 °C, 20 … 90 % HR (no condensation)
• Dimensions: 143 × 71 × 37 mm
• Weight: approx. 271 g (with sensor and batteries)
