The new Check-Line 3000PRO Series coating thickness gauge is a multifunctional fully menu driven gauge for fast, professional and precise coating thickness measurement for:
The user will select the model best suited for their application. All the probes are interchangeable and their internal calibration is stored within a small microchip inside the probe connector housing. This provides for quick and easy hot-swapping from one probe to any other in seconds.
Six (6) different models are offered for a wide variety of applications.
| Measuring principle | Magnetic induction method (F-version); Eddy current method (N-version) |
| Measuring range | 3000PRO & 3000PRO-FN90:0 - 60.00 mils / 0 - 1500 m 3000PRO-F10: 0 - 400 mils / 0 - 10,000 m |
| Tolerance | (0.7 m/0.04 mils + 1% of reading) |
