QNix 1500

The QNix 1500 comprises four gauges for the price usually paid for one. Using its unique design, the QNix 1500 will non-destructively measure coating thickness over ferrous and non-ferrous substrates with its two integrated probes. It also automatically converts readings from mils to microns with its expanded range of 0.00 - 200 mils or 0.0 - 5000 microns.

Benefits

  • Measuring range 0-200 mils convertible to microns
  • Memory Available
  • No Calibration
  • Equipped with a non-wearing ruby probe for long life and precision
  • No cable or plugs are required

Memory Option

  • Up to 3900 readings can be stored in as many as 999 different blocks or groups
  • Instant averages, standard deviation and high/low readings are displayed on the gauge and measurements can later be downloaded to the QuaNix Software

TOUCHSTONE 2 Coating Thickness Gauge


touch2pic.jpg (14771 bytes)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.

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

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


SPECIFICATIONS
Coating range: 0-0.315 inches (0-8mm) Minimum coating thickness 20 microns
Accuracy: ± 10 microns up to 1mm then ±1% or better
Temperature range: +14ºF to +104ºF (-10ºC to +40ºC)
Units of Measurement: Switchable between microns and thousandths of an inch
Resolution: 0.001" (10 microns)
Display: 0.50" (12.5mm) high 31/2 LCD Display with micron/thou indicator.
Auto shut off: After 3 minutes inactivity
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.
