DESCRIPTION
The Tinsley Thickness Gauge is designed for measuring
the dry-film thickness of any nonmagnetic material such as
paint, plastic, etc., or plating such as zinc or chromium
over a ferrous base (iron or steel).
The thickness gauge consists of a special lightweight
magnet attached to a spring and contained within a pencil-
like tube.
To take a measurement, the exploring head or magnet is
placed on the surface and the body of the gauge is drawn
away, thus extending the spring. The spring extension, the
amount of which is observed on the scale, is proportional
to the force required to detach the magnet from the
surface. The reading is taken when the magnet breaks
away from the surface, and the thickness is read directly
from the scale.
The standard scale for nonmagnetic coatings on mild steel
also applies to coatings on cast iron and low-alloy steels,
without appreciable error, and to coatings on high-alloy
steels, with a small correction for thicknesses of less than
0.001 in. (0.025 mm).
When used on bases other than mild steel, the gauge will
still give repeatable results. For accurate work, a separate
calibration is advised for each particular application. This
can normally be carried out by the customer and a
correction chart made.
APPLICATIONS
The Tinsley Thickness Gauge is ideal for paint and plating
shops, and for manufacturing processes in the automotive,
costume jewelry, alloy casting and other industries. It
reduces loss of materials such as paint and precious metal
coatings and helps ensure adherence to correct tolerances
in precision parts.
