Handheld paint thickness gauge Prodig-tech GL-PRO-2-FA features a clear digital display and a broad measurement range from 0 to 2000 μm. Designed for non-destructive measurement of coating thickness on various substrates, this compact instrument supports quick on-site readings for quality control, vehicle inspections and paint repair assessments. The portable design and intuitive display make it suitable for use in workshops, inspection services and production lines where rapid, repeatable thickness checks are required.
Advantages
The gauge provides rapid, non-destructive measurements across a wide range up to 2000 μm, covering thin to very thick coatings. Its digital display offers clear numeric readouts for fast interpretation and reduces reading errors compared with analog alternatives. The handheld, lightweight housing promotes portability for inspections outside the shop and the instrument supports measurements on different substrate types, enabling versatile use in automotive, industrial and manufacturing contexts.
Suitable for
- Pre-purchase car inspections and used vehicle evaluations
- Paint repair assessment and quality checks after repainting
- Production line quality control and coating thickness verification
- Maintenance inspections of coated components and structures
- Workshop diagnostics and on-site surface inspections
Key specifications
- Measurement range: 0–2000 micrometres (μm)
- Display type: digital numeric display for direct readings
- Operation: handheld, portable design for field use
- Measurement principle: non-destructive coating thickness measurement
- Typical applications: ferrous and non-ferrous substrates and coated surfaces
How to use
Place the probe flat against the coated surface and ensure stable contact before taking a reading. Turn on the instrument, select the appropriate measurement mode if available for the substrate type, and wait for the digital display to stabilise. Record the displayed thickness value. For best results, take multiple measurements at different points and compare them to assess uniformity of the coating.
Usage recommendations
Calibrate the gauge according to the manufacturer’s instructions or using calibration foils before critical measurements, especially when switching between substrate types. Avoid measuring on highly curved or heavily textured areas without appropriate probe positioning. Store the device in a dry, dust-free environment and replace batteries as recommended to maintain display clarity and measurement reliability.
