QUINTSONIC Ultrasonic Coating Thickness Gauge
The QUINTSONIC Ultrasonic Coating Thickness Gauge is no longer available and has been replaced by Quintsonic T.

The QuintSonic Ultrasonic Coating Thickness Gauge is a portable gauge, especially designed for non-destructive coating thickness measurements of paint, varnish, plastics and other insulation coatings applied on wood, plastics, glass, ceramics etc. as well as for polymer layers on metals. Up to now, these materials could only be measured destructively.
The QuintSonic enables measurement of up to 5 coatings in a single operation
As a special feature, the gauge offers the possibility to measure the total thickness as well as the individual layers of a multi-layer system in only one measuring process. The QuintSonic coating thickness gauge measures single and multi-layers of coatings up to a total thickness of 500 μm. The robust gauge is appropriate for use in the laboratory, in production and on site.
As the first equipment of its sort, the QuintSonic makes it possible to measure coatings on fiber-reinforced plastics, e.g. CFRP, WPC, GFRP.
The intelligent evaluation of the ultrasonic signal reading allows rapid recording of measured values of over 40 measurements per minute.
