The PowderTAG is a photo-thermal gauge which
measures film thickness non -contact and non-
destructive. It complies with standard: DIN EN
15042-2. The small and robust instrument is suitable
for fast and precise coating thickness measurement
of powder coatings on metallic substrates before
and after cure. The measurement system consists
of a sensor and a display device. The sensor is
connected to the display device with a cable.
Please note that the performance-, range- and
accuracy of the PowderTAG is depending on the
structure and specific colour of the powder coating.
The majority of powder coatings can be measured
without any problems. In rare occasions the
coating is not compatible with the photo thermal
technology or special settings are required.
Special settings always relate to a specific powder
from a specific manufacturer and NOT to a specific
colour.
Because heat disturbs the photo-thermal
measuring principle, the measurement object
needs to be cooled down to approx 40°C when the
measurement is performed.
