Thickness Gauge FAQ

What is a thickness gauge?

A thickness gauge is a device used to quickly and easily measure the thickness of a material. A thickness gauge is useful for many industries but is most commonly used in engineering and manufacturing to help ensure material thickness complies with industrial standards and regulations. As well as measuring the thickness and density of a material, a thickness gauge can be used as an additional quality assurance tool in industries such as automotive, measuring the uniformity of material and helping to identify hidden damages or imperfections.

What is a Hall Effect thickness gauge?

Hall Effect thickness gauges, like the Olympus Magna-Mike™ 8600, use a sensor that responds to changes in a magnetic field by varying a voltage. Using a small magnetic target, they can provide accurate thickness measurements of nearly any non-magnetic material where a probe can be placed on one side and a target, like a steel ball, on the other.

How to measure pipe thickness?

If you’re looking to measure the thickness of a pipe, an ultrasonic thickness gauge should be used. A handheld thickness gauge, such as the 27MG, will offer accurate measurements from one side of metal pipes and parts that are thinning due to erosion or corrosion.

How to measure metal thickness?

For accurately measuring the thickness of a metal in a nondestructive way, an ultrasonic thickness gauge should be used.
