Features

PELT high-resolution ultrasonic measurement technology provides unparalleled precision and accuracy. PELT thickness gauges are capable of measuring multi-layer thicknesses on virtually any substrate material including steel, aluminum, plastics, composites, and wood. The unique capabilities and outstanding performance of PELT gauges have made them the standard coating thickness measurement tool for demanding applications in paint facilities worldwide.

  • Non-destructive measurements eliminate the need for specially prepared samples or destructive analysis.
  • Multi-layer thickness measurements on any substrate material.
  • Color touch-screen display.
  • Reports individual layer thickness and total thickness at each measurement location.
  • smart-chart software for professional data analysis and documentation.
  • Compact and lightweight.
