Nuicon Coating Thickness Gauges: Measure with Confidence

Every project demands precision. Nuicon provides rugged, reliable coating thickness gauges that deliver accurate measurements in the lab, on the production line, and in the most demanding field conditions. Find your perfect match below.

Why Measure Coating Thickness?

Accurate coating measurement is critical for:

Quality Assurance & Control:

Ensure coating consistency and meet industry specifications (ISO, ASTM, NACE).

Corrosion Protection:

Verify that the coating is applied at the correct thickness to provide the intended barrier against corrosion.

Cost Efficiency:

Prevent the costly waste of over-application and the premature failure of assets from under-application.

Warranty & Compliance:

Provide documented proof that coatings meet required standards for client deliverables and warranty claims.

FAQS Coating Thickness

With a coating thickness gauge using magnetic, eddy current, or ultrasonic principles.

Dry Film Thickness (DFT) is the thickness of a cured coating applied to a substrate.

80% of measurements must meet or exceed the specified thickness, and none fall below 20% of it.

There is no single standard; it varies by application (e.g., automotive: ~120-180µm, industrial: 250-500µm).

Key standards include ISO 19840 for paint on steel and ISO 2360 for non-conductive coatings on non-magnetic metals.

1 mil is equal to 0.001 inches or approximately 25.4 micrometers (µm).
