Paint Inspection Gauge QualiPIG

QualiPIG is a Paint Inspection Gauge designed for situations where traditional electromagnetic measuring methods are ineffective, particularly for coatings on wood, concrete, plastics, and other non-metallic substrates.

Testing with the QualiPIG Paint Inspection Gauge follows the standardized wedge cut procedure: the coating is sliced at a defined angle, penetrating the substrate. The layer thickness (s) is then calculated based on the slope projection (b) of the cut face, determined using a measuring microscope, and the cutting angle (α). This method allows for determining the individual layer thickness of multilayer systems.

The QualiPIG Paint Inspection Gauge  features a black-painted aluminum block housing several key components:

• Exchangeable carbide tip with precision-ground angular cutting blade (comes with 4 cutters):
  • Cutter No.1: Measuring range: 20-2,800μm (Factor: 20 μm)
  • Cutter No.2: Measuring range: 10-1,400μm (Factor: 10 μm)
  • Cutter No.3: Measuring range: 5-700μm (Factor: 5 μm)
  • Cutter No.4: Measuring range: 2-2,800μm (Factor: 2μm)
• Measuring microscope with a 30x magnification and a reticle (2.8mm with 1/140 division), suitable for inspection tasks.
• Two-wheel design for stable and uniform cutting.
• Battery compartment for a 1.5 V battery.
• Combination of LED and fiber-optic light guide for optimal specimen illumination with low current consumption.

This Paint Inspection Gauge conforms to standards such as ISO 2808-6B, ASTM D 4138, and AS 1580 Meth 408.1.
