SaluTron® D4 / D5 (Plus)

Non-destructive and precise coating thickness measurement on iron and non-ferrous metals

The safe, easy operation, the exceptionally large measuring range (up to 5 mm), and the wide range of applications make the handy coating thickness measuring devices SaluTron® D4/D5 indispensable control aids. The modern electronics and robust housing design ensure a long service life.

The SaluTron® D4 is designed for measuring of non-magnetic layers such as chrome, paint, zinc, plastic, enamel, copper, etc. on steel and iron substrates.

With the SaluTron® D5, you can measure insulating layers such as paints, plastics, enamel, paper, rubber, glass, etc. on substrates such as aluminum, zinc, copper, brass, and some stainless steel grades (non-magnetic metals). Measuring anodized aluminum is also possible.

Properties

  • immediate readiness for measurement (no calibration on test films required)
  • generous measuring range: 0 - 5 mm
  • spring-mounted, non-wearing ruby measuring head for precise measurement results
  • easier measurement on round bodies such as rods and axles thanks to practical V-groov
  • comfortable one-handed operation due to wireless construction with built-in measuring probe
  • simplified menu navigation

Functions

  • automatic, continuous calculation of average value without storing individual measurements
  • continuous measurements possible
  • unit switchable between µm/mm and mil
  • automatic or manual on and off switching
