CM-8829 Series Coating Thickness Gauges | F/NF Meter


Product Description

SEVEN-MODEL COATING THICKNESS GAUGE SERIES

CM-8829 Series Coating Thickness Gauges

CM-8829 Series Coating Thickness Gauge with Probes  

The CM-8829 series is a coating thickness gauge family for measuring paint, plating, anodizing, and other finishes on metal substrates. The seven models offer built-in or separate probes, F magnetic induction for ferrous metals, NF eddy current for non-ferrous metals, and a large-range model for coatings up to 12 mm.

The lineup serves common needs for a paint thickness meter, coating thickness tester, or F/NF coating gauge.

Key Features and Applications

Depending on the model, the series supports single or continuous measurement, automatic substrate recognition, stored calibration values, an audible prompt, metric and imperial units, and memory for up to 99 readings.

Use F probes for non-magnetic coatings on iron and steel. Use NF probes for non-conductive coatings on aluminum, brass, and other non-magnetic metals. Separate-probe versions help reach difficult measurement locations. RS-232 and Bluetooth data accessories are optional.

Panel, Marking and Probes

The front panel carries the LCD, the function keys (ZERO, CAL-H, SELECT and the up/down keys), and the model marking. Built-in versions keep the sensor in the housing; separate-probe versions connect through cables for flexible positioning.
