Paint Thickness Gauge No name MGR-10-S-FE — handheld coating thickness meter for ferrous substrates

The Paint Thickness Gauge No name MGR-10-S-FE is a handheld coating thickness meter designed for non-destructive measurement of paint, lacquer and plating on ferrous (FE) substrates. The compact, single-probe instrument allows quick on-site checks of coating thickness values, making it suitable for vehicle inspection, quality control and corrosion assessment. Its simple operation provides repeatable readings for documentation and decision-making during pre-purchase checks or routine maintenance.

Advantages

The meter offers straightforward single-probe measurement tailored to ferrous materials, delivering reliable thickness readings without removing coatings. Its compact design supports portability for field inspections, while the device’s non-destructive measurement method preserves the tested surface. The instrument produces immediate results that can be used for assessment and record keeping.

Suitable for

• Automotive pre-purchase inspections and used car checks
• Quality control in painting and coating workshops
• Corrosion and maintenance surveys on steel structures
• Verification of repainting and repair work
• Routine inspection of industrial equipment with ferrous surfaces

Key specifications

• Measurement principle: magnetic / suitable for ferrous substrates
• Probe type: single, contact probe for non-destructive thickness measurement
• Measured coating types: paint, lacquer, plating and similar organic/inorganic layers
• Form factor: handheld, compact for portable on-site use
• Display and readout: instant numeric readings (digital)
• Operation: simple single-button or minimal control interface for quick measurements
• Use environment: intended for field and workshop inspection of ferrous materials

How to use

Place the probe perpendicularly on the coated ferrous surface and activate the measurement according to the instrument control (single-button or trigger). Hold the probe steady until the digital readout stabilizes, then record the displayed thickness value. For best reproducibility, take multiple readings at different points across the surface and note the average or range. Avoid measuring on heavily curved edges without proper probe contact and follow basic surface-cleaning practices to remove loose debris before measuring.

Usage recommendations

Use on clean, dry surfaces for the most accurate results; avoid measuring over loose rust or thick dirt. Calibrate the device periodically on known reference standards for ferrous substrates and follow the manufacturer’s calibration procedure. When inspecting vehicles, compare multiple measurement points across panels to detect repairs or uneven coating thickness.
