COATING THICKNESS GAUGES | Measurements on metals
Qnix 8500/8500sat

Display of two readings.
Combine measurement is taken when, for example a coated Steel substrate has a thin zinc layer and painted. On a combined mode, the QNix® 8500 indicates separate values for the zinc and paint coatings (minimum substrate thickness is defined at 50μm -approximately, 1.97 Mil).
The new freedom of coating thickness measurement - The unique radio control probe.
Calibration Options.
Besides the factory calibration, the measuring system QNix® 8500 allows for two calibration adjustments which are very helpful when measuring on curvature or small parts:
- with the one point calibration the probe is adjusted towards a known value.
- with a two-point calibration the accuracy of the probe is optimally adjusted (two values) to a defined thickness range to be measured.
Reliable measurements (also) on rough surfaces.
To measure on a rough surface, average the result of a reasonable number of zero measurements on the uncoated substrate and store the reference before measuring the thickness of the coating.
Averaging by varying coating thicknesses.
With a fluctuating paint thickness or to fulfil a certain norm, the QNix® 8500 can be adjusted so that the measured value is calculated from a previously defined number of single measurements.
Data management and documentation via Excel.
With the QNix® Software the data can be wirelessly transferred to an Excel sheet. Hence, the stipulated
availability of statistical analysis in a quality system is given.
