Paint Thickness Gauge Blue Technology DX-13-S-AL – Digital display, measurement range 0–2000 µm

The Blue Technology DX-13-S-AL is a digital paint thickness gauge with a clear numeric display and a measurement range of 0–2000 µm. Designed for non-destructive coating thickness measurement on a variety of substrates, this handheld instrument provides fast numeric readings suitable for automotive, industrial and inspection tasks. The compact construction and straightforward controls make the device convenient for on-site checks, quality control, restoration projects and pre-purchase vehicle inspections.

Advantages

The instrument offers a broad measurement range up to 2000 µm and a digital readout for precise, easily readable results. Its design supports non-destructive testing on multiple substrate types, enabling consistent measurements without damaging surfaces. Portability and simple operation reduce the time needed for routine checks and allow operators to perform repeated measurements efficiently. The clear display and stable measurement response contribute to reliable documentation during inspections.

Suitable for

• Automotive paint inspection and pre-purchase vehicle checks
• Industrial coating verification and process control
• Restoration and repair projects where coating thickness must be assessed
• Quality control in workshops and inspection services

Key specifications

• Measurement principle: non-destructive coating thickness measurement
• Measurement range: 0–2000 µm
• Display: digital numeric display for direct readout
• Portability: handheld form factor for on-site measurements
• Suitable substrates: metal and other common bases for coated surfaces

How to use

Switch on the gauge and, if required, select the measurement mode appropriate to the substrate type. Place the probe flat against the coated surface and wait for the digital value to stabilise, then record the displayed thickness. For best results, measure at several points across the surface and use the average or the range of values to assess coating uniformity. Follow any calibration steps recommended by the manufacturer before performing critical measurements.

Usage recommendations

Handle the device on stable surfaces and keep the probe clean to maintain measurement accuracy. Calibrate the gauge periodically and before important inspections; when measuring automotive panels, avoid edges and highly curved areas that can affect readings. Store the unit in a dry environment and replace batteries as needed to ensure consistent display performance.
