The paint thickness tester can measure material thicknesses up to 300 mm. To ensure that the material thickness of a wide variety of homogeneous materials can be measured, it is possible to store the corresponding sonic velocity in the paint thickness tester. For materials such as steel, aluminium, zinc, silver and gold, the appropriate sonic velocities are already stored in the device library. This means that the paint thickness tester can be used universally.

Individual maximum and minimum values can be stored with the paint thickness tester's limit value function. If the measured value of the test specimen is outside the limits, the paint thickness tester signals this visually. If required, the paint thickness tester can also provide acoustic signalling in addition to the visual display. The paint thickness tester is therefore used, for example, in quality assurance and incoming goods inspection.

The paint thickness tester has a data memory on which the measured values can be recorded. After a measurement process, the stored measured values can be analysed directly on the paint thickness tester. The stored data is displayed graphically by the paint thickness tester. In addition, each individual measuring point can be approached and read in the graphic of the paint thickness tester. To simplify the analysis of the measured values, the average, the largest and smallest measured values are displayed on the paint thickness tester. The paint thickness tester can optionally be equipped with an ISO calibration certificate.
