Coating Thickness Gauge NOVOTEST TP-2020
Industrial inspection equipment
Overview
The NOVOTEST TP-2020 Coating Thickness Gauge is a portable instrument for measuring protective coating thickness on ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates. It is designed for quality control professionals, coating inspectors, paint manufacturers, fabrication companies and industrial maintenance teams that require reliable coating inspection. If you are planning to purchase a NOVOTEST TP-2020 in India, selecting the appropriate probe and measurement range is essential to obtaining a configuration suited to your inspection requirements. The TP-2020 supports a wide range of coating measurement applications through its interchangeable probes. Depending on the selected probe, its measurement range extends from thin coatings to thick protective layers of up to 60 mm. F-type probes are intended for coatings on ferromagnetic metals, while NF-type probes are designed for non-ferrous metal substrates. M-type probes support measurements of thick dielectric coatings, including certain mastic and resin applications. Specialised probes are also available for surface roughness and environmental measurements. The instrument offers measurement in micrometres, millimetres, inches and mils. Its functions include multi-point calibration, average calculation and minimum and maximum measurement indication. Measurement results can be stored and transferred to a computer, making it useful for inspection records and quality documentation. The appropriate probe, calibration procedure and substrate preparation should be selected according to the applicable inspection standard. Typical applications include inspection of painted steel structures, galvanised components, protective coatings, industrial equipment, pipelines, storage tanks and fabricated metal products. The instrument is relevant to corrosion protection contractors, coating inspection agencies, infrastructure projects and manufacturing facilities.
