TOUCHSTONE 2 Coating Thickness Gauge
TOUCHSTONE 2 coating
thickness gauge uses the magnetic properties of the substrate material to determine the
coating thickness by measuring the distance the sensor face is held off the steel by the
coating.
The Hall effect sensor provided with the gauge can be used to measure a wide range of
non-magnetic coatings on ferrous substrates including paint, plastic, epoxy, stainless
steel, galvanized zinc, aluminum and tin.

Highly accurate hall effect sensor
Measures any non-ferrous coating
Measures up to 8mm of coatings
Simple calibration and operation

Measure any non-magnetic coating on a ferrous material. For use in Civil
Engineering, Petrochemical, Offshore, Automotive and other applications.

Low battery indicator
Battery life: 40 hours nominal with a size AA (PP3) alkaline battery
Dimensions: 5.75"H x 3.16"W x 1.58"D (145mmH x 80mmW x 40mmD max.)
Weight: 5 1/4 oz. (150 grams)
The TOUCHSTONE 2 is suitable for use only on coatings applied to a ferrous
substrate and uses the magnetic properties of the substrate material to determine the
coating thickness i.e. the distance the sensor face is held off the steel by the coating.
KEYPAD CONTROLS
ON Powers up the gauge and initiates a
brief test sequence displaying all screen characters
MM/IN Toggles
between metric and imperial units of measurement. When imperial (English) units are
selected a dash-appears to the left of the digits displayed
SET UP This function calibrates the sensor / gauge
combination. It should only be performed when a replacement sensor is connected to the
gauge. To access this function hold down the Set Up key and press ON. The sensor must be
in contact with the 5mm steel block supplied. The gauge display will show 0.00 for
approximately 5 seconds. The last digit will increment to a value less than 0.10 and then
display 0.00. Set up is now complete. Follow the operations outlined below for zero and
cal Range
ZERO Performs local Zero to compensate for permeability
changes. Zero may also be used when measuring on substrates of different thickness. Place
the sensor on an un-coated area of steel. Wait for the display to settle to its
lowest value and press Zero.
CAL RANGE Used to calibrate the working range of the gauge
using the shim provided. Place the 5mm shim on an un-coated area of steel, (having first
performed the zero operation above). Place the sensor on the Aluminum shim Press Cal
Range; this will correct any inaccuracy due to change in substrate material or thickness.
