Thickness measurement using the FTA2.4-SC probe on 3 different tubes , 10 measurements at each point . Readings in µ m .
Conclusion on Coating Thickness Measurement of Protective Layers in Aluminium Cans and Tubes
To check the thickness of protective coatings inside aluminium tubes and cans , the eddy current probe FTA2.4-SC is ideal due to its low contact pressure . Used together with a handheld or desktop device from FISCHER , the probe enables accurate measurements on these sensitive linings without compromising them with excessive pressure .
