Product Overview
The REED R7800 Coating Thickness Gauge is an advanced handheld instrument designed for accurate, non-destructive measurement of coating thickness on ferrous (steel) and non-ferrous (aluminum) substrates. With full data logging, USB connectivity, and a colour display, the R7800 offers high performance for quality control, industrial inspection and manufacturing verification of painted or plated surfaces.
Key Features
- Automatically detects ferrous and non-ferrous substrates for automatic measurement mode selection
- Dual measurement modes (Single / Continuous) with high speed readings
- Colour back-lit colour LCD display showing measurement value, Min/Max/Avg, number of readings, pass/fail icons
- Tri-colour LED indicators: green = within tolerance, yellow = high, red = low for quick pass/fail assessment
- Zero and two-point calibration for reliable accuracy
- Full data-logging memory (up to 500 groups of data) with included USB cable and PC software for export, charts and reports
- 360° display rotation for flexible viewing in any orientation
- Includes reference standards (ferrous, non-ferrous), 5 calibration films, sensor cover, hard carrying case
- Ideal for automotive, plating, industrial finishing, quality control, aerospace and metal processing environments
