Coating Thickness Gauges

BYK-Gardner Coating Thickness Gauges

BYK-Gardner Coating Thickness Gauges are measurement instruments used to evaluate dry film thickness quickly, accurately, and non-destructively. These instruments help users ensure that coatings, paints, varnishes, powder coatings, and other protective layers meet technical specifications, quality standards, and required application performance.

In coating processes, film thickness is a critical parameter because it directly affects protection performance, corrosion resistance, surface appearance, material consumption, and coating service life. A coating that is too thin may provide insufficient protection, while a coating that is too thick can increase material cost, slow curing processes, or create surface defects. With a coating thickness gauge, users can control coating application consistency in laboratories, production lines, and field inspections.

BYK-Gardner Coating Thickness Gauges include solutions such as byko-test for measurement on ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates. Selected models support automatic substrate recognition, wear-resistant ruby probe tip, calibration modes, statistic memory, continuous measurement, tolerance settings, USB data transfer, and environmental condition monitoring such as dew point, air temperature, and relative humidity. This category is suitable for protective coatings, industrial coatings, automotive coatings, powder coatings, marine coatings, metal finishing, steel structures, tanks, pipelines, and coating quality control.
