How do you measure paint thickness on a plastic bumper? Or the lacquer depth on a fine wood cabinet? Standard gauges that rely on magnets or electricity are useless on these materials. For years, the only answer was often to cut the part open. The Nuicon EC900 Ultrasonic Coating Gauge changes everything.
This advanced instrument uses sound, not magnetism, to provide fast, precise, and completely non-destructive thickness readings on non-metal substrates. It’s the definitive tool for modern quality control, finally giving you the power to verify wood finish thickness or check a coating on plastic with scientific certainty.
The EC900 delivers tangible benefits that enhance quality, reduce waste, and accelerate your production cycle.
Get accurate coating data on plastics, wood, and composites.
Verify thickness without cutting or destroying valuable parts.
Ensure your finish meets specifications to reduce product defects.
Receive instant feedback for faster QC and real-time process adjustments.

The EC900 is essential for any industry working with finished non-metals.
Ultrasonic sound needs a liquid medium to travel efficiently from the probe into the coating. The couplant eliminates the air gap, ensuring a clear and accurate reading.
The gauge works best on relatively smooth, firm surfaces. Extremely soft coatings or rough wood may be difficult to measure accurately.
Yes, completely. The sound pulse is harmless, and the water-based couplant wipes away cleanly, leaving the finished part untouched.
The EC900 is designed to measure the total thickness of a coating system on a non-metal substrate. For multi-layer analysis on metal, the EC555 is the appropriate tool.
