Blue Technology DX-13-FE Paint Thickness Gauge

The Blue Technology DX-13-FE Paint Thickness Gauge is a professional, non-destructive measuring instrument designed for precise coating thickness measurement on ferrous (Fe), galvanized steel (Fe+Zn), and aluminum (Al) substrates. With an integrated spherical probe and automatic substrate detection, it delivers reliable readings across a wide range of applications in automotive, industrial, and quality control settings.

Advantages

Automatic substrate detection eliminates guesswork, while the backlit LCD display ensures easy reading in low-light conditions. The 5-tone sound signaling system provides audible feedback for different thickness ranges, and the built-in LED flashlight illuminates dark measurement areas. Compact and portable, it comes with a protective case for safe storage and transport.
