New Probe for Car Cavity Protective Coatings Thickness Measurement

Modern car bodies are nowadays mostly protected with cathodic dip painting (CDP) against corrosion. However, it has been almost impossible to measure this thin layer of varnish precisely in hard to reach cavities such as pillars, sills, beams and bracings, without destroying the part to be measured. Measured thicknesses are typically between 15µm and 20 µm at those spots. The specialists for coating thickness measurement by FISCHER now present a new cavity probe which was designed to measure CDP-coatings in car body cavities. This new magnetic-inductive probe V3FGA06H for the automotive industry, has a particularly slim and shaped handle with a small, hanging moveable probe head. It fits through the small openings available in each car body and can measure on paint layers inside cavities. The sophisticated design of the probe head enables the operator to take precise and repeatable thickness readings. The new cavity probe V3FGA06H is fully compatible with the DELTASCOPE® and DUALSCOPE® hand-held coating thickness measurement instruments of the FMP- Series also available from Fischer Instrumentation (GB) Ltd.
