New Metallic Plating Measurement Gauge Provides Accurate Readings Regardless of Substrate Geometry or Surface

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL (June 8, 2005) – Oxford Instruments Coating Measurement (OICM) introduces the innovative model 243 coating thickness gauge, designed to measure metallic coatings such as zinc and nickel over steel. The test method employed is not sensitive to the base or geometry of the part. The result is a more reliable reading when dealing with small components. Operators are better capable of taking exact measurements on coatings such as zinc or nickel over steel. The model 243 delivers the accuracy and precision of an X-Ray gauge in a handheld instrument.

This gauge delivers correct measurements even on thin coatings and does not require calibration on the part. This simple-to-use battery-operated device requires no operator training.

Additionally, the model 243 automatically stores data and generates easy-to-read statistics that help optimize production and reduce scrap. Standard with the 243 gauge is OICM’s proprietary SRG software. SRG is a full statistical program and report writer.

OICM's global customer service presence provides expert support to ensure the integrity of the instrument.
