Coating thickness gauge
SaluTron® D6

Combination gauge with 3 Fe- and 2 NFe interchangeable probes

With Fe-probes (F400, F1 and F10) you can measure non-magnetic coatings such as paints, plastics, chromium, copper, zinc, enamel, etc. on metal substrates as steel or iron.

With the NFe-probes (N1 and CN02) you can measure non-conductive layers such as paints, enamels, plastics, rubber, glass, paper, etc. on non-magnetic metal substrates as aluminum, copper, brass, zinc and certain grades of stainless steel. You can also measure anodized aluminum.

Measuring features

  • Measuring range of 0-1250 micron (F1 standard probe)
  • Measuring range of 0-10 mm (F10 special probe)
  • High accuracy
  • Switch between mil and micron
  • Upper and lower limits can be preset; with visual and audible alarm when exceeding
  • 2 measuring modes: continuing mode and single mode
  • 2 operation modes: direct mode with 99 storage places and batch mode with 495 locations (5 blocks with 99 values each)
  • Automatic recognition of the probes
  • Quick calibration and zeroing of the instrument
  • 2 methods for calibration; error system of the probe can be corrected with basic calibration method
