Papworths Construction Testing Equipment (PCTE) a reputable supplier of construction equipment provides a paint coating thickness gauge, a non-destructive way to determine coating thickness especially of wood and plastic.

PCTE is a company well-known for its field testing and non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment, which now offers paint coating thickness gauge and meter. Paint coating thickness is a high-end ultrasonic device which allows the user with a non-destructive way to determine the coating thickness of paint on certain elements like, wood, plastic, fiberglass etc.

The paint coating thickness gauge works when a probe allows a pulse of high frequency sound that uses a coupling gel to travel into the coating. As this pulse travels into the coating, the density of the pulse reflects vary for different surfaces. The time taken by the ultrasonic signal to cover the distance between the surface of the coating to back to the starting point is the result of the coating thickness gauge.

The thickness of the coating is different for all substances. Therefore, the probes available for the elements like wood, plastic, concrete is in the range of 3 to 5 mils (75 – 125 micrometre). The wood, plastics, glass, fibreglass, concrete etc. are the elements whose thickness vary from each other therefore they require different probes.

• Type B – Used for determining coating thickness of wood and plastic.
• Type C - Used for determining coating thickness of concrete, fiberglass etc.
• Type D – Used for determining soft coating thickness.

If you require a non-destructive yet effective way to determine the paint coating thickness of an element, contact PCTE. They will assist you with the probe specifications and more about the standard gauge features.
