Our Starr CTR-1000s is a Dry Film Thickness gauge (or DFT), designed for users that need to non destructively measure a dry film coating thickness on a metallic substrate. 

The remote sensor allows measurement in difficult to access areas, such as the drainage channels under the bonnet of a car, inside H-beam, chassis rails, o-ring grooves machined recesses and weld joints.

Measurement of anodic and galvanic coatings is also possible. The sensor automatically detects the nobility of the metal substrate and employs either the Eddy Current or Magnetic Induction measurement method, as required.

The results are displayed in metric "microns" or imperial "mil" on the large, backlit LCD screen, along with live updated statistical data including minimum, maximum and average thickness.

Other uses include measuring the thickness of other coatings such as:

• Anodising on aluminium
• Galvanising on steel
• Chrome on hydraulic cylinder and rods
• Powder coating
• Intumescent fire resistive coatings

The Starr Instruments CTR-1000s has many uses in industry.  The most common would be measuring the thickness of paint, such as the thickness of paint on a metal panel found on car parts.  Applying too much paint can be more expensive and not applying enough paint can have the effect of not protecting the part which increases the chances of that part corroding.
