Product information "Sauter TB 1000-0.1FN digital coating thickness gauge, types F and N, 100 µm / 1,000 µm"
The Sauter TB series are digital coating thickness gauges with an external sensor for measurements up to 1,000 µm. They display the coating thickness in µm or inches (mil) and have two measuring ranges: up to 100 µm with a readability of 0.1 µm and up to 1,000 µm with a readability of 1 µm. The TB 1000-0.1F measures non-magnetic coatings on iron and steel (type F). The TB 1000-0.1FN also measures coatings on non-magnetic metals (type N). A zero plate, adjustment foils and a carrying case are supplied with both models.
Type F or type F/N: which model?
The choice depends on the substrate. If the material is always iron or steel, the TB 1000-0.1F is sufficient. If you also need to measure paint, anodised finishes or other coatings on non-magnetic metals, choose the TB 1000-0.1FN, as its sensor type covers both types of substrate. The ATE 01 sensor (type F) is available as an accessory; for the FN model, the ATE 02 sensor (type N) is also available.
Accuracy and Offset-Accur
In standard mode, the measurement accuracy is 3 % of the measured value, according to Kern. The Offset-Accur function is used to adjust the instrument to the specific measuring range using a two-point adjustment. Kern specifies a precision of 1 % (or less) of the measured value for this. A zero plate and adjustment foils are included in the scope of delivery. Additional adjustment foils (ATB-US07) are also available.
Test object and base material
The base material must be at least 300 µm thick. For the TB 1000-0.1F, Kern specifies the minimum sample area as a radius of 1.5 mm (convex), 6 mm (flat) and 25 mm (concave). The external sensor, with its 1 m cable, can reach even hard-to-access measurement points. The Auto-Power-Off function switches the device off automatically, whilst the ZERO function resets the display to zero.
Typical applications
- Automotive industry: paint film thickness on bodywork parts and supplier components
- Electroplating and metal finishing: thickness of zinc, chromium or nickel coatings
- Shipbuilding and aviation: coatings on structural components
- Laboratories and quality control: incoming goods and final inspection of coated components
- Construction and building sites: coatings on steel components on site
Both models are handheld devices for everyday use, without an interface or memory. If you wish to transmit or store measured values, choose the TE or TG series, which are also available.
