Micronstat is an electronic digital gauge for accurate measurement of coating thickness. It can measure thickness as fine as 1 micron, eliminating the need for guess work, erroneous reading and approximation in coating thickness measurement.
Micronstat can help to maintain consistent quality of coatings in the fields of anti-corrosion, electroplating, painting of engineering products, automobiles, aircraft manufacture, and chemical industry and so on.
Micronstat measures following coatings on metallic substrates:
