Paint thickness gauge NexPTG Standard Plus by NexPTG, model NEXPTG-STDP

The NexPTG Standard Plus handheld paint thickness gauge by NexPTG (model NEXPTG-STDP) is a compact instrument for rapid, non-destructive measurement of coating and paint layer thickness on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates. Designed for vehicle inspections, bodyshop quality checks and corrosion assessment, this portable gauge delivers single-point readings that help identify repainted areas, verify coating uniformity and support routine maintenance checks. The device combines ease of use with durable construction for practical on-site measurement tasks.

Advantages

The NexPTG Standard Plus provides fast and reliable coating thickness readings with a user-friendly interface and one-handed operation. Its compact size and lightweight design make it convenient to carry and use in constrained spaces. The instrument supports measurements on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials and produces non-destructive results, enabling quick decision-making during inspections and repairs.

Suitable for

• Vehicle pre-purchase inspections to detect repainting and repairs
• Bodyshop quality control and verification of paint application
• Corrosion assessment on painted metal surfaces
• Routine maintenance checks in automotive fleets and workshops
• On-site spot measurements where portability is required

Key specifications

• Measurement method: non-destructive coating thickness measurement
• Compatible substrates: ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Form factor: handheld, compact, portable
• Display: integrated readout for single-point measurements
• Operation: single-handed use with simple controls

How to use

Place the probe flat on the painted surface and initiate a measurement using the device controls. Wait for the displayed reading to stabilise, then record the coating thickness value. For best results, measure multiple adjacent points to assess uniformity and identify localized variations. Ensure the probe tip is clean and make measurements on flat, representative areas of the panel when possible.

Usage recommendations

Before starting inspections, calibrate the gauge according to the manufacturer’s instructions and verify performance on known reference standards. Avoid measuring over heavily curved edges or rough surfaces without appropriate fixturing, and store the instrument in a clean, dry place to maintain accuracy.
