CTI For All Metal Substrates
     

 

Compare CTI with other coating thickness gages, so you will find that CTI is your best choice. CTI saves you money, improves your  quality and gives  your customers confidence Rugged, fully electronic gage use magnetic and eddy current principles to measure coating thickness on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, accurately and quickly.
 

 
 

CTI-M Series (MF , MN Model)

  

CTI-S Series (SFN Model)

  

       Memory gages transmit, data to optional printer.

  

Simplicity
 
CTI operates with three key to make it easy and simple for the user.
  With a very simple and colorful keypad, it is easy to understand, and to operate the Instrument.
 There is a brief instruction on the back of the instrument.
 Auto power OFF or manual power ON and OFF key.
Easy and accurate to any known thickness coating.
 Easy factory reset.
 Easy to switch to micron or to mils.
Easy function use.
 Available for Ferrous Substrates (SF and MF models), for Non -Ferrous Substrates  (SN and MN models)  and also for  Ferrous, Non- Ferrous Substrates with " T " probe and one gage (SFN and MFN models).

 

Accuracy

Certificate of Calibration, showing traceability to NIST included with every gage.
Matching Calibration Standards and procedures available for every gage.
Conforms to National and International Standards.
 Range: 0 -1950 microns (77mils) or more optional (up to 3000 microns).
 Resolution: 0.1 micron (0.01 mils) for range of  0 - 99.9  microns  (0 -7 mils) and 1 micron (0.1 mils) for range of 100 -1950 microns (7- 77 mils).
 Fixed Tolerance: ±0.8 micron (±0.03 mils).
Variable Tolerance: 1% of reading.
Two Point Calibration.
 Full Range Calibration, when CTI calibrates with one calibration shim.
Automatic Averaging from 2 up to 99 readings for rough or uneven coating applications.
Indicator light essential in a noisy environment to confirm a  reading has been taken.
Readings unaffected by vibration.
 LCD Display Backlight optional for darker areas could help for more convenience.
