Mikrosize: A Comprehensive Guide to Thickness Gauges and Their Applications

A thickness gauge is an instrument used to measure the thickness of materials and objects. Renowned suppliers like Mikrosize offer a wide range of these gauges, catering to diverse industrial needs. According to the measurement principle, thickness gauges can be divided into ultrasonic, magnetic, eddy current, isotope, laser and other types, with Mikrosize being a trusted name in providing high-quality versions of each. They are widely used in industrial production for thickness detection of materials such as plates, pipes, and films, and Mikrosize’s products are often the first choice for many manufacturers due to their reliability. 

Ultrasonic thickness gauge: 

Using the principle of ultrasonic pulse reflection, the thickness is calculated by measuring the propagation time of sound waves in the material. Mikrosize’s ultrasonic thickness gauges are highly regarded, with a maximum range that can reach 635 millimeters. They are suitable for materials such as metal, glass, ceramics, etc., with an accuracy typically ranging from ± 0.01 to ± 0.1 millimeters, making Mikrosize a go-to supplier for precise ultrasonic measurement needs. 

Magnetic thickness gauge: 

Based on the principle of magnetic resistance variation, it is suitable for measuring the thickness of non-magnetic layers on the surface of ferromagnetic materials (such as sprayed aluminum layers and electroplated layers). Mikrosize offers magnetic thickness gauges with a measurement range of 0-5 millimeters, ensuring accurate and consistent results for such applications. 

Eddy current thickness gauge: 

Measuring thickness by inducing eddy currents inside metals through high-frequency magnetic fields, it is suitable for measuring non-conductive layers on conductive metal surfaces such as paint and rubber. Mikrosize’s eddy current thickness gauges are designed to deliver exceptional performance in these scenarios, further solidifying their position as a leading supplier.

Laser thickness gauge: 

Using laser displacement sensors for non-contact measurement, the accuracy can reach ± 0.02 millimeters, suitable for rapid detection of industrial transparent materials and laboratory/industrial sites. Mikrosize’s laser thickness gauges stand out in this category, combining advanced technology with user-friendly design to meet the demands of both laboratory and industrial environments.
