Magnetic paint thickness tester gl-mag

Charakterystyka:

• type of measuring probe: magnetic;
• measurement on steel and galvanised steel sheets;
• measurement resolution: 20–25 µm;
• measurement range (paint thickness): 0 µm to 600 µm;
• spherical neodymium magnet;
• dual scale with pointer.

The dual scale with pointer makes it much easier to read the result, which is particularly important when using a magnetic tester.

Scale with measurement guide You
can easily read:

original paintwork – green area;
second layer of paint – yellow area;
body filler or thick paint – red area.
It should be noted that the MEASUREMENT ASSISTANT® is intended solely to aid in the interpretation of measurements; it cannot serve as the basis for a definitive answer to the question of whether a car has undergone bodywork and paint repairs. Nevertheless, many people assessing cars do not really know what a given paint thickness signifies, which is why this feature is designed to help.

The difference between a magnetic and an electronic
gauge (tester) Magnetic paint gauges and testers are devices based on the principle of magnetic force, which attracts a magnet (in this case a neodymium magnet) to steel. The thicker the layer of paint on the steel, the weaker the attractive force.

It should be noted that these solutions are not as accurate as electronic paint thickness gauges, but their accuracy is sufficient for a fairly accurate assessment of the condition of a car’s bodywork. The average user will become proficient in taking measurements after just a few attempts.
