The Surface Tester has a measuring range of 0 ... 2000 µm. The Surface Tester can measure the coating thickness on ferrous (Fe) and non-ferrous (NFe) metals. For a better analysis of the measurements, the coating thickness gauge has a measuring function based on the SSPC standards. With this function, the corrosion protection of a coating can be checked with the Surface Tester.

The Group function stores the measured values directly on the Surface Tester. A memory of 50 groups with 50 measurements each is available on the Surface Tester. In each group, statistics are created for all measured values from the Surface Tester. All measurement data and statistics can be recalled after a measurement run on the Surface Tester.

For further analysis of the measured values, the Surface Tester can be connected to a PC. The Surface Tester has a micro-USB interface for this purpose. The software can be used to transfer the measurement data from the Surface Tester to a PC. In addition, it is possible to carry out live measurements with the Surface Tester using the software. For further processing of the measured values from the Surface Tester, they can be exported in CSV and XLS format via the software. 

In addition to the coating thickness measurement, the Surface Tester can measure the temperature and humidity of the environment. Thus, the Surface Tester can be used to find out whether the climatic conditions are right to carry out further processing on the coating. 

With the V-groove, the coating thickness of, for example, pipes can also be determined with the Surface Tester. Optionally, the Surface Tester can be equipped with an ISO calibration certificate.
