Thickness Gauge LIMIT 119170108 — portable mechanical thickness measuring tool

LIMIT thickness gauge model 119170108 is a portable mechanical measuring tool designed for rapid on-site determination of material thickness. It provides a compact and durable solution for checking the thickness of metal sheets, coatings and other flat materials where a simple manual instrument is sufficient. The device is intended for workshop, inspection and field use and focuses on straightforward operation without reliance on power sources.

Advantages

The gauge offers immediate mechanical readout and a robust construction suited to regular industrial use. Its compact size and lack of electronic components make it resistant to common field conditions and reduce maintenance needs. The straightforward measuring principle delivers repeatable results for routine thickness checks of various materials.

Suitable for

• Quick thickness checks of metal sheets and plates
• Verification of coating or paint layer thickness where mechanical contact is acceptable
• On-site inspection and quality control in workshops and service vehicles
• Field measurements where a battery-free, durable instrument is required

Key specifications

• Type: portable mechanical thickness gauge
• Measurement principle: manual contact measurement
• Housing: compact, hand-held format for single-person operation
• Power supply: none required (mechanical operation)
• Typical use environment: workshops, inspection points and outdoor field work

How to use

Place the gauge perpendicular to the surface to be measured and apply gentle contact until the measuring element engages the material. Read the indicated value directly from the mechanical scale. For best results, ensure the surface is clean and free from loose debris or heavy corrosion that could affect contact. When measuring coatings, take care to position the gauge according to the manufacturer’s guidance to avoid compressing the layer and altering the reading.

Usage recommendations

Perform multiple measurements across the area of interest and record the average value to account for local variations. Store the instrument in a dry place and protect the measuring faces from impacts or contaminants to maintain accuracy and longevity.
