Precise thickness measurement for reliable quality control
Thickness gauges provide accurate measurement of material and coating thicknesses to ensure component integrity and process compliance. They are used to assess wall thickness in pipes and vessels as well as coating thickness on components, delivering essential data for maintenance and quality assurance in sectors such as metalworking, automotive and petrochemical engineering; common variants include wall thickness gauges, coating thickness gauges and ultrasonic thickness gauges. These instruments enable non-destructive inspection of hard-to-reach areas and support predictive maintenance by detecting thinning or coating wear early. Robust construction and straightforward operation make thickness gauges a practical choice for production and inspection environments.

Order the probe directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the technical team for application advice. Sonde N1 – Probe for coating thickness gauges by Metav IndustryLine, suitable for non‑ferrous substrates and non‑metal coatings The Sonde N1 is a dedicated probe designed to measure coating thickness on non‑ferrous metal bases and non‑metallic coatings, ideal for workshop and production environments. Probe for non‑ferrous substrates Cable length approx. 1 m Measures coatings thicker than 10 µm Chrome‑plated copper valid up to 40 µm Consistent results on non‑ferrous substrates The probe delivers reliable coating thickness measurement where substrates are non‑ferrous metals such as copper, aluminium, zinc and tin, and where coatings are non‑metallic (plastics, rubber, paint, anodisation). Measurements require a coated area larger than Ø 10 mm or a coating thickness greater than 10 µm, which ensures the sensor sees a representative surface and reduces edge‑effect errors. Where chrome on copper is present, the probe maintains correct readings for coatings up to 40 µm, clarifying practical limits during process control and quality checks. Robust connection and easy integration for production A cable length of approximately 1 m provides practical reach at test stations without excess slack, and the probe’s compact sensor tip supports repeated in‑line checks. The physical design balances ease of handling with durability for routine use in maintenance and inspection workflows. Measurable attributes such as weight (2 kg) and the probe’s tariff code help planners and logistics teams include the item in documentation and procurement lists without uncertainty. Built for workshop and series inspection Intended for use with coating thickness gauges in the category of Schichtdickenmessgerät, the probe is suitable for production sampling, acceptance testing and spot checks during assembly. The clear specification of applicable substrates and coatings supports decision making in tool selection and process planning. Supplied information like GTIN 4054469162607 and the article SKU M502.432 simplifies inventory management and traceability in regulated environments.

Technical data SKU: M502.432 GTIN: 4054469162607 Type: Sonde N1 Tariff code: 90179000 Manufacturer: Metav IndustryLine Facts Cable length: approx. 1 m Weight: 2 kg Special features Suitable for substrates: copper, aluminium, zinc, tin Compatible coatings: plastics, rubber, paint, anodisation Minimum coated area: > Ø 10 mm Minimum coating thickness for measurement: > 10 µm Chrome on copper: measurement valid up to 40 µm Category: Schichtdickenmessgerät eClass: 21170346 FAQ Which substrates can be measured with this probe? The Sonde N1 measures coatings on non‑ferrous metals such as copper, aluminium, zinc and tin, and on non‑metal coatings including plastics, rubber, paint and anodisation. What are the measurement limits for small parts or thin coatings? For reliable readings the coated surface should exceed Ø 10 mm or the coating thickness should be greater than 10 µm; chrome‑plated copper may be measured correctly only up to 40 µm. Is the Sonde N1 suitable for production sampling? Yes, the probe is designed for workshop and production use with a robust cable and handling characteristics suitable for repeated spot checks and sampling. How is the product identified for procurement and inventory? The probe is listed as SKU M502.432 with GTIN 4054469162607 and tariff code 90179000 for straightforward ordering and stock management. Can the probe be used with any coating thickness gauge? The probe is intended for coating thickness gauges that support non‑ferrous substrate probes; compatibility should be verified against the gauge’s input and probe specifications.

Ensure material integrity with a precise thickness gauge
Thickness gauges, also referred to as thickness meters or thickness testers, are indispensable tools across industries such as metalworking, automotive and chemical processing. These instruments include specialised variants like wall thickness gauges, coating thickness gauges and ultrasonic thickness gauges, each designed to deliver reliable measurements that inform maintenance, quality control and safety decisions.
How the different thickness gauges work in practice
Wall thickness gauges are used to determine the remaining wall thickness of pipes, tanks and boilers and are often employed for corrosion monitoring in petrochemical and food production environments. Coating thickness gauges measure the thickness of paints, lacquers and polymer coatings to ensure compliance with specifications and adequate protection. Ultrasonic thickness gauges operate by sending an ultrasonic pulse through the material and measuring the travel time; from that time and the known sound velocity in the material, the exact thickness is calculated. This method enables contactless measurement where access is limited and where surface coatings should not be penetrated.
Measurable benefits for workshop and production environments
- Improved asset life: accurate thickness readings help plan maintenance and prevent unexpected failures.
- Faster inspections: non-contact ultrasonic measurement reduces inspection time for hard-to-reach areas.
- Compliance assurance: consistent measurement of coating thickness ensures products meet technical specifications.
- Reduced downtime: regular monitoring with a reliable thickness meter enables early detection of wear and corrosion.
- Versatile use: suitable for a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics and composites.

FAQ
What is the difference between a wall thickness gauge and a coating thickness gauge?
A wall thickness gauge measures the material thickness of pipes and vessels to assess structural integrity, while a coating thickness gauge quantifies the thickness of surface layers such as paint or polymer coatings to verify protective performance and adherence to specifications.
Can ultrasonic thickness gauges measure through coatings?
Yes. Ultrasonic thickness gauges calculate thickness from the travel time of an ultrasonic pulse and can measure base material thickness even when a non-intrusive coating is present, making them suitable for coated components that must not be altered.
Which thickness tester is best for corrosion monitoring on pipes?
For corrosion monitoring, a wall thickness gauge or an ultrasonic thickness meter is typically recommended because these instruments reliably detect reduced wall thickness and can be used for periodic inspections on in-service pipes and tanks.
Are thickness meters suitable for non-metal materials?
Many thickness meters, especially ultrasonic models, are suitable for a range of materials including plastics and composites; selection should be based on the material’s acoustic properties and the instrument’s specifications.
