Coating thickness gauge ARW-159

Portable and digital coating thickness gauge ARW-159

Digital Coating Thickness Gauge ARW-159 with dual "FN" technology that allows non-destructive, rapid and precise measurement of the thickness of a non-magnetic coating (painting, galvanizing, chromium plating, anodizing, etc.) on magnetic and non-magnetic metal substrates (ferrous and non-ferrous). The instrument is equipped with a single probe (Fe/NFe) capable of automatically measuring the type of substrate and setting the measurement principle, greatly simplifying the control phases allowing greater detection speed and immediate identification of the type of base metal.

The ARW-159 features a large 2.4" TFT color LCD display with a screen rotation function (0°, 90°, 180°, 270° degrees) to ensure clear and precise viewing at any angle. For consistent and accurate measurement, the thickness gauge is equipped with an audible warning and backlight flash and 3-color LED indication (LED on the front of the instrument) to indicate the status of the readings. The instrument also comes with a USB interface and software for data management and PC analysis.

The ARW-159 is mainly used in the field of corrosion protection. It is ideal for paint and electroplating workshops, the chemical, automotive, naval and aeronautical industries, and light and heavy engineering.

Main Features Digital Coating Tester ARW-159

• Large 2.4" TFT color LCD display with 10 adjustable LCD illumination levels for clear and precise visibility of the measured values.
• Compact and solid structure of the thickness gauge with dual technology probe (Fe-NFe) with the possibility of selecting the FE principle for ferrous metals, NFE for non-ferrous metals (non-magnetic) or "AUTO" for automatic identification of the type of substrate.
• Screen rotation function, allows the user to read easily at any measurement angle. The LCD screen can automatically rotate with 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°.
• Setting of alarm values ​​with multi-mode signaling: via an acoustic signal and backlight flash or via 3-color LED indication (LED on the front of the instrument).

• Automatic shutdown function
• Stability test and continuous test
• Three operating modes are available: DIRECT mode, GROUP mode and SSPC mode:
  • DIRECT mode is recommended for simple, quick and occasional measurements. Provides statistical analysis, individual values ​​are not saved, the statistical analysis program can evaluate 80 readings.
  • GROUP mode allows measurement and storage of readings in an internal programmable memory, a maximum of 400 readings and 4 series of measurements can be analyzed based on various statistical criteria.
  • SSPC Mode: Spot and area averaging mode to comply with SSPC (Society of Protective Coatings) methods, the minimum number of measurements per spot is 3, the minimum number of measurements per area is 5.
• AVG, MAX, MIN, Stand and Deviation (S.DEV) display.
• Measurement of temperature, humidity and dew point temperature
• Internal data memory, 50 groups of data selectable with max. 50 measurement for each group DOWNLOAD Coating Thickness Gauge ARW-159 Software
