Surface Profile and Coating Thickness Gauge
SP1560

1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The TQC Surface Profile and TQC Coating thickness gauge is a simple instrument for measuring the point peak-to-valley height of a
surface and to measure coatings. This model contains 2 different tips, 1 for roughness and 1 for coating thickness, which means
You can change the instrument from measuring surface roughness to coating thickness easily.

2 MEASURING ROUGHNESS GAUGE

1. Press the On/Off button to switch the gauge on.
2. Choose parameter by pressing the IN/MM button.
3. Place the needle of the gauge on the flat glass specimen (zero plate) and press the gauge with the holder down until
The base of the holder stands firmly on the zero plate.
4. Press the ZERO button to make the instrument read zero.
5. Place the needle gentle on the blasted surface and press the base of the gauge-holder firmly against the steel.
Do not drag the instrument.
6. Read the peak-valley value.
7. Make 10 measurements on each desired location and determine the mean as being the profile of the surface.
2A MEASURING THICKNESS GAUGE
1. Press the On/Off button to switch the gauge on.
2. Choose parameter by pressing the IN/MM button.
3. Place the needle of the gauge on the flat glass specimen (zero plate) and press the gauge with the holder down until
The base of the holder stands firmly on the zero plate.
4. Press the ZERO button to make the instrument read zero.
5. Gently remove a piece of paint with a diameter of 8mm. from the surface. Try to remove the paint without damaging the
underground material.
6. Place the needle on the removed paint. Make sure the aluminium footing stands on the painted area.
7. The Coating thickness appears on the display.
