The MiniTest 3100 system has numerous probes suited to a variety of coating thickness measurement tasks, as well as different calibration methods and analysis options:
- Specialised probes can be supplied,g. completely sealed probes for use in wet areas, and heat-resistant probes for temperatures up to 250°C and 350°C
- A special calibration method allows for countless different applications; calibration using unidentified coatings (CTC method) enables calibration on objects with inaccessible uncoated areas.
- The calibration curve recorded in the factory is stored in the probe connector making it easy to interchange probes on site.
- All probes are equipped with durable poles to ensure long life even for frequent use on abrasive substrates. The pole surfaces are highly polished.
