The upgrade of the well proven QuintSonic coating thickness gauge combines measuring system and evaluation software in an ultrasonic sensor directly connected to an industrial tablet. QuintSonic T measures the individual thickness of up to 8 layers on different substrates (e.g. metal, plastics, GFRP, CRFP, WPC, fibre reinforced composites) using the ultrasonic run-time method. Measurement of all layers is performed in only one operation. QuintSonic T: All measuring parameters on one screen QuintSonic T measures of up to eightcoatings in a single operation. It can measure polymer coatings such as paints, varnishes and synthetic material, as well as glass, ceramic or metallic coatings on virtually any substrate. Precise and easy to handle, QuintSonic T can measure all typical coating systems such as: * Lacquers on synthetic material * Synthetic material on wood * Glass on metal * and many more. Featuring a generous 8-inch display, QuintSonic offers a user-friendly overview of the result of measurement as well as the corresponding course of the ultrasonic signal (A-scan). Parameters for signal adjustment are displayed simultaneously and can thus bie adapted to the current measurement with significant time savings. Subsequient adjustment of parameters is also possible through the new memory option for A-scans. In addition, QuintSonic T is characterized by simple handling via touch screen and intuitive user guidance. The measuring program also offers a clear data structure with integrated test report generation.

Ideally suited to measuring coating thickness in virtually any single or multi-layered coatings. The GalvanoTest uses the coulometric method to measure galvanised coatings such as chrome, nickel, cadmium, copper, brass, silver, gold, tin or zinc both on metals and non-metals. The anodic dissolution method, also known as the coulometric method, functions similarly to the electroplating process: an electrolyte separates individual metal coatings from the substrate with the help of an electric current. By measuring the current and time, the GalvanoTest determines the thickness of the separated coating. The GalvanoTest coating thickness measurement gauge is available in two variants: * GalvanoTest 2000: the electrolyte is circulated by a pulsator nozzle. * GalvanoTest 3000: large electrolyte volumes circulated by a circulation pump enable quick serial measurements. Suitable for use on very small parts and for the measurement of gold layers.
