BYK-Gardner Byko-test

BYK-Gardner Byko-test is a dry film thickness gage series used to measure dry coating thickness on metal substrates quickly, practically, and non-destructively. This instrument helps users ensure that coatings, paints, varnishes, powder coatings, and other protective layers meet technical specifications, quality standards, and application performance requirements.

In coating processes, dry film thickness is a critical parameter because it directly affects protection performance, corrosion resistance, surface appearance, coating durability, and material consumption. Byko-test supports measurement on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates such as steel, iron, aluminum, copper, brass, zinc, and stainless steel depending on the model configuration. With automatic substrate recognition and a compact design, inspection can be performed more efficiently in laboratories, production areas, and field applications.

BYK-Gardner Byko-test is available in several model options for different measurement requirements, from practical fixed sensor units to modular models with exchangeable probes and more complete data management. Features such as ruby probe tip, V-groove probe for cylindrical parts, calibration modes, statistic memory, continuous measurement, tolerance settings, and dew point monitoring on selected variants make this series suitable for protective coatings, industrial coatings, automotive coatings, powder coatings, and metal finishing.
