The HW-300 – PRO dry film thickness gauge is a tool used to measure the dry film thickness (DFT) of coatings on metals. We recommend using it to measure primer, intumescent and topcoat paint thicknesses on structural steelwork.
The gauge uses a precision integrated probe, using the principles of electromagnetic induction and eddy current effects to automatically detect the properties of the metal.
The HW-300- PRO Digital Dry Coating Thickness Gauge is perfect for both small DIY projects and large industrial applications thanks to its user-friendly design and durable construction.
With an automatic temperature compensation algorithm and a reliable zero calibration this will ensure the highest level of accuracy.
You can display the minimum, maximum, average and number of statistics. Also, the probe can be switched freely in automatic, magnetic induction and eddy current modes.
You can feel confident that your coatings meet your required specifications, ensuring that your work is of the highest quality. This saves you time and money by reducing the need for rework and improving overall coating performance.
The measuring range is 0-2000um and the measurement accuracy is ±(3%+1um)
The gauge is powered by 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries which are included.
Included in the box:
- 1 X Digital Coating Thickness Gauge
- 1 X Calibration Sheet
- 1 X Manual
- 2 X AAA Batteries
Calibration instructions
It is important to calibrate the dry film thickness gauge before use, to maximize the accuracy of the readings it gives.
we have a short video on our YouTube on how to calibrate the device ↓
In the gauge’s box, you will find a bag of calibration films, along with a small metal calibration square.
Immediately after turning on the device, hold down the “bottom right” button on the keypad. The letters “cal” (short for calibration) should then show at the bottom of the screen.
Proceed to press the gauge down onto the metal square to calibrate it should beep and show 0 . you can then check the gauges accuracy by holding down the gauge onto the film while on the metal plate.
The screen will keep changing after each measurement taken.
