A thickness gauge is an instrument for measuring the thickness of materials and objects. Well-known suppliers such as Mikrosize provide a broad portfolio of thickness gauges to meet diverse industrial requirements.
Based on measurement principles, thickness gauges are classified into ultrasonic, magnetic-type, eddy-current, isotope, laser and other models. Mikrosize is a trusted supplier that delivers high-quality instruments across these categories. Widely adopted in industrial production, these devices perform thickness testing for plates, pipes, films and other materials, and Mikrosize’s reliable instruments are frequently the preferred choice for many manufacturers.
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
Working on the principle of ultrasonic pulse reflection, this gauge calculates thickness by measuring the propagation time of sound waves inside a material. Mikrosize’s ultrasonic thickness gauges enjoy high recognition, with a maximum measuring range of 635 mm. They apply to materials including metals, glass and ceramics, with typical accuracy from ±0.01 mm to ±0.1 mm for high-precision ultrasonic measurement tasks.
Magnetic-Type Thickness Gauge
Operating on the principle of magnetic resistance change, this instrument measures the thickness of non-magnetic coatings on ferromagnetic substrates, such as sprayed aluminium layers and electroplated deposits. Mikrosize’s magnetic-type thickness gauges cover a measurement range of 0-5 mm to produce stable, accurate readings for such applications.
Eddy-Current Thickness Gauge
It measures thickness by generating eddy currents within metals via high-frequency alternating magnetic fields. It is suited for non-conductive coatings on conductive metal surfaces, for example paint and rubber layers. Mikrosize’s eddy-current thickness gauges achieve excellent performance for these measurement conditions.
Laser Thickness Gauge
Equipped with laser displacement sensors for non-contact measurement, laser thickness gauges can reach an accuracy of ±0.02 mm. They support fast inspection for industrial transparent materials and fit both laboratory and on-site industrial use. Mikrosize laser thickness gauges integrate advanced technology with user-oriented design to satisfy demands from lab and industrial environments alike.
