Professional Non-Destructive Paint & Coating Thickness Auditing: MESTEK CT02 / CT02C Gauge Series in Malaysia

In automotive inspection (Puspakom auditing & used car valuation), anodized aluminum manufacturing, industrial powder coating, corrosion protection auditing, and bicycle frame manufacturing across Malaysia, accurate non-destructive coating thickness measurement is essential for quality control. MTM Precision is proud to introduce the MESTEK CT02 and CT02C Coating Thickness Gauge Series—advanced dual-substrate digital gauges engineered to measure non-magnetic coatings on both ferrous (Fe) and non-ferrous (NFe) metals across a wide 0 to 1500 um measuring range.

Certified under international CE and RoHS compliance standards, the MESTEK CT02 series features magnetic induction and eddy current dual sampling technologies, high-precision 0.1 um resolution, single/continuous testing modes, um/mil unit switching, and clear backlit LCD displays.

🌟 Model Architectural Comparison: CT02 vs. CT02C

MESTEK CT02 (Standard Battery Powered): Engineered for field inspections, powered by two standard 1.5V AAA batteries with low operational current (~30mA) and automated 10-minute shutdown.
MESTEK CT02C (Rechargeable Flagship): Upgraded with a built-in 3.7V / 1000mAh rechargeable lithium battery and a USB Type-C (5V/1A) charging interface, eliminating disposable batteries for high-volume production lines.

🌟 Key Features & Advanced Auditing Capabilities

Dual-Substrate Automatic Sensing Technology:
- Iron Base (Fe): Operates on Magnetic Induction to measure non-magnetic coatings (paint, enamel, plastic, chrome, zinc plating) on ferrous substrates (steel, iron).
- Aluminum Base (NFe): Operates on Eddy Current Effect to measure non-conductive coatings (paint, anodized film, lacquer) on non-ferrous metal substrates (aluminum, copper, brass).
Wide Measuring Scope & High Accuracy: Measures coating thickness from 0 to 1500 um with an ultra-fine 0.1 um resolution and +/- (3% + 2 um) measurement accuracy.
Single & Continuous Measurement Modes: Supports Single Mode for spot checks and Continuous Mode for fast surface scanning to locate non-uniform paint areas or body filler repairs.
Curvature & Surface Geometry Thresholds: Capable of measuring complex curved surfaces down to a minimum convex radius of 5 mm, minimum concave radius of 50 mm, and a minimum measurement area diameter of 20 mm.
Backlit LCD Screen & Easy Zero Calibration: High-contrast backlit LCD screen enables reading in dimly lit automotive workshops, featuring quick zero calibration and um/mil unit conversion.
